It is that time again /diy/. I want to dig and dig and dig and have a giant cave system under house. How can I live out my dream?

Ask Colin Furze.

Do it at night and make sure to learn some Chinese beforehand

Start digging

This is the abandoned tunnel I found under my house. It is lined with corrugated steel and has old electronics laying around. Obviously there had been a serious fire at one point.

seems like a good way to get yourself killed

You threatening me brother?

>>2921636
You should get one of those new fangled… um… oh yeah! … Light Bulbs.

if children in the 1820's can do it, so can you

this was a miner(pardon pun) crazy in suburban Silicon Valley in late 1980s when RE prices were running wild before the big crash of 1990.

IIRC at least one guy made two story secret basement.

Helps if you have an attached garage to load the dirt into truck.

>>2921659
I don't go down there.

how do you start do you literally start tearing into the floor from the room? do you try to bypass the foundation somehow?

>>2921567 (OP)

>>2921655
sounds like it to me bro, are you gonna let him talk that way to you?

>>2921567 (OP)
pneumatic rams to break up rock, can even be the foot pedal powered kind. also make sure you reinforce as you dig, with the weight of a house above, it can cause shifting ... that means your house falls down AND you get stuck in a collapse underground and probably die.

No I don't think I will

When I was a kid my friend's basement had a door that lead to an unfinished but HUGE communal fallout shelter, with a staircase that went down at least 30 meters before reaching raw dirt. I've often dreamed about going there and keeping those stairs going or setting up some living quarters in one of the rooms. I fucking love bunkers.

I think tunnel girls rivals his.

>>2922417
I imagine a true tunnel system would start in the yard. And then connect to somewhere under the house. You literally wouldn't want to start digging under your house. You may undermine the integrity of the foundation.

Start the work away from it

you might wanna check for nearest synagogue on a map first, so you don't accidentally bump into one (otherwise they'll call you a terrorist, and take your home)

Just start digging. Nothing bad will happen. Pic related is all just a Jewish plot my bosses use to press money out of our customers (and admittedly, it looks kinda cool) but it’s all for show. You just need a guy (needs to be strong (Mexican) though), a pickaxe and a wheelbarrow (or bucket, but wheelbarrow speeds up work considerably.

Never trust a woman with anything important.

A certain archivist will not agree with you

>>2921655
seriously, colinfurze poking at overhaving rocks without a helmet is just asking to win a darwin award, but at least he hired a professional to do the calculations for his underground garage

You shouldn't post your mom's vibrator on the internet.

>>2923581
well it was my turn with it

>>2922427
I wonder if linkrel might work better than a pneumatic ram, as long as it was a hydroxy torch and you had good ventilation to keep it from getting too hot, thermal spallation might go faster than pneumatic rams

Hell yeah bunkers, Nuclear War Survival Skills by Kearney is a must-read for some really choice diagrams and great info. I think the Kearney Air Pump is legitimately a great choice for high volume low pressure ventilation

I just dug 2 holes for fruit trees and now I am exhausted

>>2922763
because "shes" a man dressed up as a woman

i want to dig but i have no dirt ;-;

This dude built this entire basement and zoo style exhibits with a shovel but he lives in Europe so many it was easier.

My house is built into the side of a hill, so I bet it would be easier to get started since I won't have to dig straight down and can go sideways, but I would still have to go through the block foundation to get to the hill, wonder how I can do this without fucking up my house.

>load the dirt into truck.
And then what?
Do you have any idea how many truckloads of dirt a basement can hold? Maybe region of 10k I'd say.

>>2922776
>You just need a guy (needs to be strong Mexican)
Russian coal miners.
Don't forget the fucking hats.

>>2926938
why not just poor the dirt down the storm water drains around the place? especially during the rain season, so long as you dont clog up the drain with too much at once, you could easily dispose of it at night with wheelbarrows.

>>2927843
Even better, use your sewer. That way no one will see.

>>2921567 (OP)
im also interested, anyone has resources for it?
Like security measures and stuff like that?!
If it's in video form is fine also
