Grow wild mint around your storage areas, it will keep the rodents away. But always keep traps set.
Awesome video. Thank you for being upfront about your mistakes, very refreshing and inspiring to a younger guy like me! Love that you put your kid to work, great video. Can't wait to see the concrete seller, God bless your family!
Even if you made mistakes I still liked watching you build it and you son helping lol ! Hello from Alabama US! Subscribed!
Thank you!!!
What the hell! I see your work bench then you start up a chainsaw lol This is old school carpentry or bush craftsman. Very nice work buddy, from a carpenter from Ft. Worth Texas 😁 yeehaw!
Thankyou man!
Greetings brother. Im 2 hours east of ya. Longview.
@@uncledavesfrontier6846 Stay safe out there!
Yep. If he can do it with a chainsaw, there are no excuses.
Good ‘ol style carpentry, nice 😊 Thanks for video! 🙏🏻
We did a colleges’ steps in TX out of wood, like original and had to use a Food Adz to level the raw timber…my shins still hurt 30 years later! Haha 😆
(Did not follow carpentry, joined the military, less dangerous on my shins, lol 😝)
Your boy is awesome with a hammer. Impressive
Your little boy is adorable.
Thank you for actually showing your process!
Thanks for sharing how the project turned out. Some lessons we just have to learn the hard way. It's difficult to build everything to last for centuries when juggling a young family and the always increasing cost of living.
Thankyou my friend for so true comment!
Well done. Charring the wood to keep it from rotting and using 4x4 posts/beams would be more secure and longer-lasting. But as you said it is all a learning curve. Again, well done.
Thank you for comment! Yes, all life is one learning road.
Brace it vertically and horizontally really well. Dig out around it about 6 inches. Pour concrete over it (reinforced with rebar).
Yeaaa, that is also option, must tell to my brother. Thank you!
your helper is stickin' adorable
You are a good leader!The job should make you proud.It will serve you for many years!
:) It is still standing, but I am not using it, too dangerous, from my view point, it must be in concrete to be safe.
I’m impressed with how good your cuts are with a chainsaw. Nice work…
Thank you!
somehow I came across this gem and I'm glad I did! Amazing video, awesome editing
Thank you very much!
Nice accent and great boy's personality.
Subscribed!
Nice project as well :)
How cute 🥰 your son. Thanks 🙏🏾 for sharing this info with us.
Thank you! Yes, he is star :)
Very well done...
Definitely use concrete next time. Film it please.
Good job from Italy
🤗 thank you!
I would have doubled all the support studs and I would use cross bracing. Great video thank You for sharing.
Agree with you, and height of ceiling, one feet off. But in general, just build from blocks, will take the same amount of time.
So proud of your kids! Awesome!
I built one very much like this ,that was 7 years ago and still going strong..
The walls holding up to the pressure of the dirt? I thought it would have to have some sort of stone frame
Wooden frame Walls holding pressure excellent. But, from long term aspects, please no wooden root cellars.
Too cute! Your son is adorable, love the root cellar. Thanks for sharing
1 000 000 thank you for so sweet comment!
Very sympathic guy Janis. Merci for the interesting video.
Excellent job.
You did well.
When you make a concrete one i would love to see the process.
Every big job comes with doubts and second guessing. I would not be so hard on yourself. Stone has its problems too (critters, leaks, ...) so I would enjoy your excellent cellar and the vodka you can make from the excess potatoes.. Peace.
Loved how humble you are

Ok, this is epic.
😂
Well done
Turned out great!! Live and learn , always!! Thank you for the tips.
Thankyou for comment! I afraid 2020 I will build from concrete blocks new cellar.
Be sure to video that build also !! Best of luck.
I can't believe that can be done with wood and actually last!? I wouldve thought concrete would be necessary to keep it from coming down on top of you and all your supplies. Very cool.
It can be done with wood (WW2 all dugout shelters was built in wood), but I made it too deep in ground waters. so ua-cam.com/video/FLuFAksvgws/v-deo.html
Wow awesome to have ability to build things
Thankyou!!!
It's so beautiful to see the family working together. I will build one just like this one following your model with my son. Lord willing 👍thank you
Yes, it is cool to work together. But all point of this video, do not build in wooden frame underground root storage, build it in concrete, use concrete blocks instead, will take the same time but will last for decades.
@@Dream4Design thank you so much for your advice and honesty ☺️ 👍
Your little boy is a gem 💎 😍🥰🥇
Yes, my all family!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience !
Great content, good video angle, great editing, nice to see how it's done.
Subscribed :) can't wait to see more videos.
Thankyou for your lovely comment!
It was a pleasure to watch and learn from your work on this project! And you produced and edited that video extremely well, from the different scene cuts, to the music, to the conversation. New sub.
Looks pretty good
Brilliant and entertaining
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Loved how you work with your son. But……don’t use the term ‘hand job’ unless you are in privacy in candlelight with champagne. 🥂 Great Video! Lovely farm and family.
😂 thank you for advice!
8:50 Nice Ursus ;-)
Yes, I love it!
I like your work and your accent..great work
I wish it was that easy to dig with an excavator out here where I live. Nothing but rock 😭
This, my video, was more like - do not do my mistakes. If root storage, only in concrete please. And Excavator - they are capable, just get right size. Or do not go underground, build cellar over, and cover with rocks, sand, mud, whatever you have around.
Who needs a table saw!
:) I need!
@@Dream4Design You are rocking that chainsaw - loved watching it!
@@NatureZone101 yes, I feel comfortable with it! Thank you for commenting! 🤗
Root storage? I would live in there.
:) not so deep in ground, could be good project idea!
2 minutes in and I'm now missing my grandpa. He let me hammer nails in the shed he built when I was little. You are making good memories for the boy!
Love this video brother. Great job.
Thank you. I learned a lot
People who live in tornado alleys should make this with a chemical toilet and bottled water as a shelter as well as a root cellar. .
When i build it, i think the same!
I agree
And storm shelter
Thank you for your video.
Learning what not to do and why, is just as important as learning what to do.
As you used wood for the construction material. Why not remove the soil from the outside and encase your current root cellar with stone, brick or concrete? Then the current wood structure will then become an interior lining, with a more robust concrete exterior. And add strong pillars to support the roof and a more robust material for the floor too.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for idea! I like concrete bricks, no forms needed.
Polish tractor! I love that!
Bravo 👏. Nice work, even though next time - concrete! Best of luck, and good fortune to you and yours .
Ouu! Thank you so much for commenting! Good luck you too!
Many thanks dear friend fro sharing
Thankyou! Home made garden electric tractor coming! Next project!
woodn't mind if you did thanks for showing us your awesome set up hehe
Very Good!..
Great job, love the size
Thank you, for my family, it can be smaller.
You might reclaim your lumber framing as forms for you future concrete pours. Nothing is lost and you educated yourself without loosing your life in a collapse. Many learn the same lesson with a buried shipping container design. Keeping some of the design above ground prevents the need to have supper reinforcement on the roof, unless you have a heavy snow load where you live. If heavy snow loading is expected, emulate the local roof design for the surrounding homes.
I love your potato-cellar. It is perfect for potatoes. Can my mother-in-law live there ? She is just like
a box of potatoes.
😂
Cool video brother! Now I want to build my own things.
No wooden underground root cellars, only concrete please. It was my school.
you didn't go cheap on this. Looks great. good work.
Agree with you! I told the same in end of my video.
I love your attitude. I think I’ll subscribe.
The wooden root cellar will buy you time to get your act together and build your concrete cellar the right way.
Thank you! "Will buy you time" , yes, you are right!
You are correct to be afraid because you built it in wood. First you should have pored a concrete floor with footings. The build the wood frame, put rebar around it and wire mesh. Then poured concrete for the side walls and roof. Then put the dirt back. Doing this would cause the root cellar to last for many years. Not doing this will cause your root cellar to collaps, leak water during the rains, and rot. So, you get the joy of building it twice and the extra cost of building it twice. Enjoy
Great job 👍 liked and subscribed 👍 hello from the Kentucky mountains USA 👍
Cool, thank you! :)
You don't actually needs to do all that work and construction and spend money. Just dig a big dirt room and hang a light with a string. That what we all do in North Dakota.
Today I know it too! Yes, keep it simple!
Child labor is very important.👍
More sturdy and reliable longer term
If you build in concrete. Get yourself a concrete book. I tried "concrete" and "concrete formwork" of ATP books, I bought 2nd hand books on abebooks.com. It really was worth the effort. Now i know how to build formwork for concrete and how to build a concrete building.
the main thing is: you want to excavate to have some room around your structure to place the formwork. Initially you want to excavate to your depth plus 2 to 4 inch (5 to 10 cm), so you can place little rock granulate 1-2 inch(2,5 to 5 cm), than place something like pontliner or another moisture foil to keep moisture out. Since it is a rootcellar, no need to insulate the building. Otherwise you place your styrofoam on top of the foil. So now you lay in your reinforcing material, concrete rebar mesh. Use some spacers to place it in the middle of your slab. The slab should be at least 4 inch (10cm). So @ 5 cm hight, place the rebar mesh. Make some planks on the side so the shape it surrounds is your slab shape. Be sure to make it sturdy enough so the planks will not move trying to hold the concrete back. Just get a portland sack of cement, what you need to add is probably marked on the bag (stones, sand, water). Make sure some rebar is going vertical where your wall comes. And you might want a indentation in the concrete so the walls cannot shift because they grip into the indentation in the floorslab. Tear the wooden form planks of after 3 to 5 days. It should be strong enough. After 28 days the structure is at full strength.
After 3 to 5 days (??? im not sure how long you should wait, but 3 to 5 days should be enough, it could me more early, so read in on it), make the walls 10 cm width, it should be strong enough. How you build a wall, it is like building walls of a house, and use those a from. With "all thread" and some nuts and washers you keep the walls bound together. (You really want the books from ATP books to see how it is done. But i will explain all i know.) First place one side of the concrete formwork, and then place the rebar mesh. Place it in the middle like the floor slab, also use spacers. Than place the other side of the formwork, and screw the all thread (or other formworks system you can buy where you buy the spacers, and concrete). When placing, you want to either mix it yourself, or get a concrete truck. It can be less labor intensive to bring a truck with concrete (look for yourself to see what is right). Place the concrete in 50 cm layers in the wall forms, and vibrate the concrete. You also want to vibrate the floorslab, but you do it when placing the concrete of course! When you have fibrated the concrete, you can add another layer, be sure to vibrate into the lower layers too to get good bonding, and no "cold joints". If you did everything right, and you have build a fromwork for the roof already (this is preferable, because than it is only 2 pours instead of 3, so depending on your truckloads you can design your structure how big it gets.) along with your wallframes. You can do it in one pour.
Same deal as the floorslab and the walls 10 thick, at 5cm the rebar wire mesh. Do connect all the rebar in the structure to each other. Either by welding or by wires. Welding being the strongest.
Like i said: after 3 to 5 days you can strip the forms, after 28 days the concrete is at full strength. The thing is, i am not a concrete engineer yet, i am reading on the subject. There a tons of books on concrete engineering so if you want to calculate how to do it, you can. If the span is not to wide, the 10 cm slab/wall/roof design should do fine.
So that was that. "Concrete", "Concrete Formwork" from ATP books. They also have a nice agricultural book i am trying to get my hands on, but they dont have that 2nd hand, so i have to pay top dollar to get it.. I think its worth it, especially if you have a farm of your own.
If you really like to keep it wood, try "FM 5-15", there are different version of this file, they have a lot of different designs on underground wooden and corrugated metal buildings. So that might be more to your liking. The corrugated metal seems to be fine and easy, but it may be hard to find. Just like the concrete walls and roof, use bitumen paint on it, in nice thick layers. To keep from water coming in.
Get everything i mentioned, and you will not be disappointed!!
Greetings,
Jeff
Thank you for so detailed explanation, will go trough! Thank you!
I love it
Nice build. I'd be concerned about wood as the structure being buried underground.
;) me too, today!
Hmm, i need to cut some 2x4's... Yeah Chainsaw will do it!
😄 From my kids age I work only with chainsaw.... but today I have Ryobi 18V circular saw, so, trying to use it too. I Like your comment!
Good job. Im hoping to start building mine soon. Just cant make up my mind on the design.
I do not recommend do in wood, better concrete blocks.
Thanks you
Gostei 👏🎉👏🇧🇷🌼
Awesome
Thankyou!
Really like your channel...You are very skilled...Subscribed...Sure that big cat walking around keeps the mice under control...Beautiful home and property...What country is this?
Thankyou for nice comment! It is Latvia, in Europe. I like cats, they are independent.
Secret underground swimming pool LOL
:) Right now it is swimming pool!
you had me at deep shit lol

Never use rubber tire machine to backfill around structure 👍
Thank you! Will try keep in mind! But this time it was my fault, structure was not ready for backfill works.
I built mine with 12 concrete blocks
You did an awesome job!!👍..how long did it take for you to build??..be safe&blessed🙏✝️
Thanks for sharing this build. I am glad you didn't get the bad weather and were able to build it in the wood and did not have to start over with bricks. How has it held up so far? any issues with water or molds?
Thanks again God be with you. Hope you and your family are well
Thankyou, we are ok! No problem with molds, but I dig little bit too deep, around ground water level (we have 2 inch water in), and wooden frame structure 2x4 with step around 2 feet looks wrong (frame stud step should be no more 1 feet). I have plan to build in bricks this summer.
@@Dream4Design Yes I can see where water would be an issue. I have a friend that installed a gravel floor with a small sump pump mounted in a 5 gallon bucket with holes and 6 inch of small gravel in it countersunk into the gravel to handle his. He went 8 feet deep. Works pretty well but he had to watch it at first to make sure it worked. But note he also threw a mini solar panel up to power it. But hope you film the brick build if so cant wait to see it.
@@supabear2321 Yes, small pump with solar panel sounds good! And I will film my new brick root storage, definitely.
@@Dream4Design you're an inspiration, thanks for sharing!
👍 chainsaw Joe, lol.
Liked your video except if you do another maybe consider not putting music with it. Many of us have hearing problems. My problem is I can;t stand most music. But I am looking to build a root cellar. It gets very cold here and I like the idea of using wood but learned a lot from your trials. Thanks
Yes, I never think about that. Thank you for comment!
Don't worry about Cascadia. He's a rare human being. Most of us like background music when done tastefully. It's why movies have score in the background. Even during some dialogue. Keep up the good work.
There is a big difference between "underground" and "buried"
what’s the difference
Probably warmer in the winter than an upstairs of a house
Yanis you kicked but, looking forward to stone cellar with earthen mud mortar stabilized with lime this mix is classic and cellar should serve for 200 years or more I would encorage you to look up chicadee channel best i've seen since my great uncles off grid shops as a child i took their technology for granted but I have since rethought their philosophy they lived to ripe old active ages cellars for roots other cellars for wine...cisterns off grid farms in the hundreds of acres trading furs, ponds dug with mules wells dug by hand at high elevations so gravity made the head pressure few wires or switches they taught so much wish i would have paid more attention
Thanks
Hello. Thank you for sharing your experience. I ahve one question. What is the name of equipment your pulling by tractor?
Box blade, or BladeBox. Most popular tractor attachment. Imitate bulldozer, scraper, grader, e.t.c.
I built one but I used cardboard instead of wood to save money. So far it's doing very well, it's been up for about two days now.
😂
Why the sheet plastic vapor barrier on the bottom. I've always thought a root cellar needs moisture from the ground to keep humidity right.
Vapor barrier in bottom, is more like hydro-isolation, we do not want direct contact with ground water. Humidity control - ventilation. All humidity, what root cellar need, will get from air, absolutely.
i think what you are doing is really cool so dont take offence but i wouldn't have used that tarp it will just help hold water and two i wouldn't use osb you might get a couple years but i bet its all buckling in now. Thats just me i hope its all holding up. I love the effort i hope its holding up better than i imagine it.
It is holding up well, zero mold inside, but we are not using it, I afraid of soil pressure to the walls, it will collapse, one day. 2by4 was too small. Next one root cellar - only in concrete! Thank you for comment!
@@Dream4Design no problem. I am using tires in a root cellar hopefully soon i will be able to show you what im doing
No music when you talk. Thanks!
I like Concrete block walls and dirt/gravel floors if there are no water issues. That is a ton of potatoes, are they for resell?
Yes, I also understand, concrete bricks is the way to go! All potatoes are for personal use only, we still have them, yes maybe bit too much!
На дереве появится молд
It should, but not yet!
Only problem with that is the plastic bitten you won’t get the high humidity you need inside
Everybody comments are right. And your too! Next one will be in concrete bricks.
Traditional cellars are built with concrete, gravel floor for drainage. Wood seems like a bad idea for controlling humidity inside the cellar. Also won't it rot?
It will rot! Today, my decision, only concrete underground structures.
Lol at 7:07 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why did you use spruce when you should have used pressure treated wood.
Underground, only concrete bricks, no wood structure anymore. My toughts.
Hello, what did you use as a ground idolator? What is the black membrane and the green foil? I am planning to do similar cellar by wood. Thank you.
I do not recommend do my mistakes, consider do concrete root cellar please. green foil is simple tape, for vapor barrier. And black membrane is dotted PVC film, which can create breathable distance, from wall surface, that mean humidity can evaporate up. and maybe working as hydro insulation. Anyway, I do not recommend this to repeat.
It may work if you don’t get a lot of ground water!
Otherwise it will flood 🥺🥺
2inch ground water we have. We stop use it.
@4:30 "For this reason we have some hand job" !!
Glad: what were you thinking? Wood frame? This will last one or two years. Max.
Yes, it will be enough time to build next in concrete.
Ak šausmas, kas par akcentu :DDDDDDDD
