Edit: New Mining tee's are getting down in stock so grab one while you can Thanks for coming over to the 2nd channel, new update video wont be to far away so subscribe for more regular tunnel content. Also New phase 2 mining Tee's are getting low so grab one while you can www.colinfurzeshop.com

      There is no point in telling him he isn't being as safe as he could be because he already knows that and has accepted it.

      @raelik777 Рік тому +19

      Should be fine, as he's only exposed a small corner of each, and the space around and under them will be backfilled and set in concrete soon enough. The bigger danger would be damage to his house or garage from that concrete interfering with the normal expansion and contraction of the soil underneath. Luckily, he's not digging deep enough to hit anything like bedrock, so as long as the concrete itself is bedded into clay and rock soil like everything else is, should be a negligible difference.

      He's definitely buying new ones as the project goes on. At 3:20, you can see a yellow bucket that still has the paper label intact on the inside of it, which I'd imagine wouldn't survive for more than a couple loads of rock. But Colin's definitely getting his money's worth with them as I've seen similar plastic buckets only cost like $10 each.

    Hey Colin, if you haven't thought of it, I recommend that secret car port be dug deeper than the tunnels - it'll give you room to work, but also give you room for bigger vehicles in the future (or for the next home owners if you sell)

    Digging back to the foundations, sometimes underneath them a bit, I've wondered about how the downward pressure from the house would cause slow subsidence if you've dug out a chunk of the supporting ground around them. Did you get an engineer to take a look and suggest strategies to make this safe over the long term?
