/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1384410
I don’t think you realize how much work digging is, especially if you have been sitting at your PC for the past 4 years playing minecraft.

With that said, good luck. Don’t die. You will probably be safe though because you will give up before there’s ever a dirt cieling.

enjoy the collapse OP you'll have a minute of sheer terror before its lights out. Your muffles screams will haunt your soul

>>1384411
Digging is the easy part.

>>1384411
>>1384414
Yeah, I haven't received any words of encouragement for this project from people I know either. Needless to say I'm still determined to pursue it until I decide for myself that it is not safe to pursue any further, or that I grow tired of it. If for nothing else, it is helping me shed a few pounds in prep for some boxing exhibitions coming up at the gym I frequent.

My current routine has been to spend about an hour each day shoveling dirt, then heading back in for a break before pulling weeds in the garden. Pic related is my progress in my first hour of work several days ago. I estimate it is about 10-12 cubic feet given the slope of the hill. It is about 2 feet wide in the pic. I'll post updates updates every couple of days for those interested in my well-being. I'll also have my discoverer give a shout-out to /diy/ for trying to dissuade me in my obituary should it come to that, lol.

You my fiend are a complete idiot

>>1384428
Uh, you could watch videos to deem it unsafe. It's pretty foolish bro, but at least watch some videos on how to shore up some bracing as you go.

>>1384426
this op. do not dig underground without properly engineering cave-in prevention support structures
there is a high probability of being caught in a cave in, which could result in a somewhat quick death if you get surrounded by dirt and buried,... or a slower death if the cave-in traps you inside a sealed off void area.

>>1384428
It took you an hour to dig that? Is this a joke?

>>1384450
>whoa, digging into the ground is hard work that takes time?
have you ever been outside and done any real work?
this shit takes time when your doing it by hand

>>1384438
>>1384449
If you could link me some sources on how to properly brace the walls and ceiling, that would be excellent. My Google searches are not very helpful unfortunately.

Should of encouraged my x wife to dig a bunker

>>1384410
Press F to pay respects in advance.

>>1384454
idk. if I was seriously looking I would start with OSHA construction safety standards. OSHA website has tons of links to guidelines and other governmental/industry groups that specialize in this stuff.

would probably end up in the library researching engineering & construction methods for underground excavation

I dug a 6-7 ft. deep hole in my backyard a few years ago. Could have kept going but I didn't have any supports and it seemed dangerous. It was also very narrow. I could still get on top of the shovel and worm my way out, but it was way over my head. Ended up filling it was piss bottles (serious) before filling up the last foot or so with dirt. Was thinking about digging it back up though cause I'm afraid someone will find it and I'll end up on the news.

FUCK OFF SKYSEER!

>>1384428
You need a lesson in digging. Get yourself a pick axe to break up the soil then go at it with the spade.

Anyone else really enjoy digging? I wish grave diggers still used pick and shovel, I would be all over that job.

WW2 POWs would dig tunnels all the time just use some pallet wood slats to support the walls around you. don't use the obviously shit wood though. remove the material often and maybe invest some time in an air circulating system like a PC fan on the end of a tumble dryer exhaust pipe. Do a shallow dig first then go digging for coal once your comfy
Your life is your own you take the risks but your responsible for yourself.

We all know that building an underground bunker can be done. The issue is OP is ignorant of the proper ways to safely build it. Which will ultimately lead to his death.

And when OP needs advise, he comes to 4chan which tells us he is ok with being buried under tons of soil. Added to the fact is OP would like to dig his grave as cheaply as possible.

OP perhaps you should not dig down. But instead dig into the side of the hill. Spend the money to dig safely, your life depends upon it.

Set up a camera to record your progress so we can watch the video of the collapse. Bonus points if extremities are poking out of the soil. Try to wave to the camera before you loose consciousness. Maybe 4 finger wave for 4chan.

>>1384410
While a cool idea I wouldn't bother anon

It'd be different if you were mining out a rocky cave or outcropping but with plain dirt you're just going to get yourself killed. If you really really want an underground room dig out a large trench, build the room out of metal/concrete and then rebury the whole thing. It'd be a lot easier, safer, and probably faster than trying to dig out your own personal dirt coffin.

Check out "Ask Jeff William" on YouTube. He is a professional miner and just poster a few videos on building a mine shaft.

Maybe I will be saying retarded shit because I have no idea about the subject in ops but can't he dig the sides on a 45° angle as he keeps going? That way there will be not enough dirt to bury him, then build a structure strong enough and fill the open space with the dirt he removed before.

>>1384674
this is what I mean

Where in So IL anon? Just a county if you dont want to give city.

>>1384679
>>1384674

Yes you could if you want to dig about 300% more material. But that is the price of safety. It would make it easier to get the excavated earth out since you could make a long spiraling route up and down for wheel barrow access.
Don't forget the 'green box' will settle over time if it doesn't have suitable foundation to sit on. so don't forget to add the extra to the depth of teh hole

Keep going op don't listen to these losers and haters, chances are they are all renters and can't dig up something because they don't own anything

>>1384674
It depends on the soil, it's called angle of repose. It's easy to figure out. Just pile up a little bit of dirt until it falls and that's the angle

pretty sure your best bet is to bury one of these

definitely doable with only hand tools take about 1 month of digging 8 hours a day, could be rolled into place using egyptian alien lever technology

That sprayed with truck bed liner inside and outside would work well. 2-4 inches of spray on insulating foam then truck bed liner would be best for inside.

>>1384452
Verifying that it would take about an hour to dig a hole that size in southern/central Illinois.
>>1384450

>>1384799

Anon isn't wrong. There is effective digging, and then there is easy/lazy digging.

>>1384563
Once of these days when your nuts drop and you grow up, you'll learn that doing stupid dangerous shit is just that... Stupid and dangerous. Usually sometime in your mid 20s you get a tiny bit of foresite that helps to prevent you from killing your own dumbass. But not everyone acquires that skill.

>>1384811
That does not really make sense, you are either effective or your are working considerably harder then needs be, nothing easy about ineffective digging.

Either way OP and >>1384799 need to acquire and learn to use a pick axe.

>>1384410
shipping containers make the best bunkers OP. they literally cannot fail

>>1384887
With one you put effort into digging, the other you are just lifting and letting gravity bring the tool back down.

>>1384887
No. The whole OP is digging doesn't make any sense.
Around here, you have to dig footings about 4ft deep;
And your generally going straight down, trying not to disturb the ground.
That takes about an hour with a spade and post-hole digger.
The last foot is a bitch.
A pick axe is useless.
Again, OP's hole is not normal.
This is generally something you wouldn't dig, therefore, no pick axe.
You get a fucking excavator.
Go back to the stone ages, and
Quit working Mexicans to death.
Fucking Baby Boomer.

>>1384827
It's not that dangerous if you
1. Call and ask if it's kosher
2. Build good support

>>1384892
The pick axe just breaks up the soil, to make life easier, slam the pick in, lever it out. OPs hole would take 15 or 20 minutes with pick axe and spade instead of the hour with just spade. Must have for any hard packed or clay heavy soils.

>>1384893
So what you are saying is that you once dug a couple footings for a deck and did not know well enough to spend $25 to rent an auger.

>>1384893
Look up spoon shovel for all your deep hole needs.

>>1384658
This

>>1384908
Pick is an absolute life saver if you come across stones/rocks.
Even a miniature pick is worth is weight.
As for digging a well nothing, in my opinion, beats an old saucepan with the handle removed(just stamp on it a couple times lol)
Steel toe boots are also a huge bonus if you need a fulcrum for picks/spades.
I did get a laugh at op getting checked on every hour. Unless you have a team of foxes or the hulk watching you your dead. A single human is not useful. At all. Send them home, don't get them involved, if you die you are only roping them into your mess.
The point of doing a dangerous buddy system lookout is that they are capable of at least making safe if not rescuing you without putting themselves in danger.

>>1384908
This is back woods here.
It is not worth it to drive an hour and back to the nearest tool rental for four fucking holes.
Four is the usual. Six I would still dig by hand.
Over that is the tipping point.
Point is, even for a general contractor,
Digging these types of footings are not something you or your guys do every day.
No point in trying to give someone a heart attack.

OP here and im tired of being berated by jealous arm chair warriors
That's a great deal of digging in one day with a spoon. I'm eating the dirt to hide my local OK? Now please fuck off as I continue with my awesomely bunker hide out fags

>>1384931

A mattock would be better for the clay

They walk among us

>>1384656
That is what I have planned. I live in the mountains of Costa Rica. I have a cliff directly behind my house made of volcanic tuff. My plan is to dig deep horizontally into the mountain and build a wine cellar. I will use rebar arched at the top as a template, and fill in with steel and brick every few feet. I know a guy who is a civil engineer and he is going to check it out before construction begins.

>>1385188
As long as you reinforce as you go, it'll be fine

>>1385135
Indeed, if the soil has enough clay in it to sculpt with, switch to a mattock.

>>1384410
Don't listen to the naysayers here. How many times have you heard that you can't do this and you can't do that and it's never been done before? Just imagine if Bill Gates had quit when people said it can't be done.

If the gooks can do it, so can you.

>>1385188
There was an amazing DIY on a wine forum circa 2008-ish where a guy built a cellar in his backyard.

Here's the only remnant I can find that's left after an hour of searching. He walked you though every tiny detail.

>>1384410
You're fucking stupid. Like a braindead Wojack would actually be a compliment.

>>1385286
Thanks that looks good. I'll try to find more info on that project. I won't have to worry about cooling. In the neighboring village there is a cellar dug about thirty feet down and a 15ft x 25 ft room at the end. It is always about 60 degrees in there.

I took the advice of a few anons and purchased a pickaxe. Scraping the edges, as well as breaking up the large clumps, goes appreciably quicker than with just the spade. I've also bookmarked the mining Youtube channels linked in the thread to watch throughout the week.

New pic is approximately 5 hours of work, 1 with the pickaxe included. My current estimate is 50-70 cubic feet removed from the hole given the dimensions. I'll begin using a tape measure in future updates. I will continue to check daily for new advice and nervously chuckle at the ominous threats of collapse.

>>1385692
not bad
now is the time to seriously consider shoring.

>>1385692
>Scraping the edges, as well as breaking up the large clumps, goes appreciably quicker than with just the spade

Remember when I asked if you were joking that it took you that long to dig a hole?
How's that humble pie taste now you nutsack?

OMG HAAAAAALP

>>1384561
Ehh, honestly he is better off digging and hitting an electrical line with the shovel. It will be better than dying from the inevitable cave-in if he makes it that far.

>>1384410
Not this shit again. Just check the archive. We been down this road before. There is much specialized knowledge and skill required. You've already proven you don't have it by posting here. But, this is obviously a bait thread, so, I will dance at your funeral anon, and shit upon your grave in the name of 4chan/diy/. Amen

OP how many victims do you plan on storing in the torture chamber? Will you strap them to a carousel so you can spin it to see which lucky lady gets lovin from Touchy The Clown?

>>1384890
Shipping containers can buckle at the top.
They aren't designed for that type of weight distribution.
When the containers are stacked for shipping, weight isn't sitting directly on top of the centers of the panel.
When they're underground, the weight of dirt and soil sits on the weakest points.
I read about them being reinforced though.

So.IL fags know that it is currently storming around our area. I went about trying to prep for any potential rain threatening to turn my hole into a pool about an hour ago. I have secured a tarp over the hole, and dug a trench a few feet above the hole in order to detour the majority of the runoff. It's not a perfect solution - merely temporary until I plot out a more permanent design for directing water away from my entrance. Any tips?

>>1385740
You're a fucking idiot. Shipping containers have withheld multiple direct hits from the A10 warhog. A little bit of dirt is nothing.

>>1385740
You flip it upside down. Floor (structural weight support) is now the roof.

>>1386527

Or you could stop being an autist. Get a job and get a used skid loader and concrete setup the scale the walls and ceilings after lay rebar.

Instead of 3 months diging a coffin you could have a real buncker and a random chance to find a coal seam or other mineral. Even crushing and sorting the rock woukd be enough to pay for parts and fuel until msha catches you.

Just dig a huge fucking hole with sloping walls and save up for the concrete and rebar necessary to build something solid. It will probably take you a year or so, so plenty of time.

>>1385709

What?

It's pretty hot out today, and I can't be bothered to wear soggy jeans to ward off the poison ivy. I'm going to change up my schedule, and do my excavating in the early morning around 5:30 - 7:00 to avoid the heat. I won't be available to work on it again until Thursday morning because I am taking a trip to Madison county to get on a lease with a former mate of mine. I thought I'd reply more in-depth with some of you guys while I'm relaxing at home.

Thanks for the videos, anons :) Ask Jeff Williams has been the most informative of these, and has helped me better understand the construction of the sets for the drifts and shafts. I was a bit confused looking at the illustrations in this PDF I came across: http://www.idahogeology.org/PDF/Bulletins_(B)/B-21.pdf
In fact, there seem to be numerous publications available for me to study at http://www.idahogeology.org

>>1385696
I had not replied to your previous post, but you seem upset. Not much humble pie to be had if you offer no useful advice in the first place :3 Regardless, the pick mattock has been a godsend. Do you have any tips to properly fashion a dirt ramp for when my hole gets too large for throwing the dirt out?

For a better description of my project, pic related. I want to have a dirt/wooden stair way lower me to the appropriate height for a stable entrance. The entrance descends at an incline, and empties out into the tortu....the room I wish to excavate. I am digging this into the side of a preexisting mound of earth, which will provide some "depth" to my room beneath the surface.

>>1384428
>I'm still determined to pursue it until I decide for myself that it is not safe to pursue any further

this is the classic trap

without the proper engineering knowledge you won't be able to assess the danger you're in - at least until it's already a hazard

also; confined spaces are REALLY something you don't want to fuck with and can easily kill rescuers as well - assuming they can even try to rescue you. if you're in a space that's too small for them to wear safety gear you'll have to wait until they can get real engineers to expand the hole or otherwise get access to you - and as someone said upthread it can take ~8 hours to safely extract someone once they get to you, better hope you haven't asphyxiated from dirt compressing your chest or had your organs crushed by then

if you insist on following this path at least buy a tombstone and put it at the entrance to your hole so no one has to bother digging you up to bury you.

>>1388397
It depends where you buy. Some real estate is equal to Miami prices. No where near California prices though. If you shop around you can get some good deals on land. I have a small ranch with a huge house that I paid 200,000 USD a few years ago. Honestly I would not take less than a million for it now.
Coffee is difficult to grow. It requires a lot of attention and is susceptible to various diseases. Very labor intensive. And don't plan on making a lot of money from the coffee.
The trees also harbor what they call coffee flies. Small biting flies that are a real annoyance

How big is that in freedom units bro?

shipping containers do work for bunkers, the steel is pretty resistant to rust.

But you have to put steel strengthening braces every 4 foot or so. you can weld up multiple and cut openings for doorways or to make bigger rooms etc.

Or you could just make up formwork with steel H extrusions posts and beams and square tubing for studs and noggins, weld it all up.

Cover it with 3mm steel sheeting, and weld it all up. when fill walls with spray foam insulation and line with mdf paneling.

I've thought out making a bunker out of individual octagonal modules, then connecting them together and welding. then stuffing with a waterproofing tar/rubberised material.

I wish I had a yard to build vietcong tunnels in

The safest way is to excavate a trench with a sloping entrance that you can add stairs later. Then built roof supports then and then back fill it. But like other posters have pointed out trenching is dangerous. Don't trench vertical walls as the danger of collapse is high. Always have sloping walls. Better yet buy a sea can and hire a contractor to excavate for you. Then backfill in the seacan. Add waterproofing to the outside of it. Add gravel underneath for drainage so as to prevent shifting. Add supports on the inside so the walls and ceilings don't buckle. Soil is heavy especially when wet. Why are you doing this anyway?

idk if this has been thought of before, but could you cut a container into triangular instead of rectangular prisms and have 3 together like a trapezoid and bury that more successfully than one could bury 2-3 shipping containers side by side underground? say 12 inches of dirt on top.

>>1384410
You dont need a full mining cave OP. What you need is a nice liitle hobby trench. WW1 style trench werks make for a great fort complex. A few trenches connecting to dug out shelters and maybe a master bunker in the middle with a few trenches out. This will be better for you health wise, physically, mentally and socially. Running trenches is more fun than crawling through holes.

>>1402423
OP died.

>>1402423

what could go wrong?

>>1402167
F nothing. I tool up a career in mining just to fuckoff underground and live like molepeople. Initial bunker closer everyday lads

>>1402036
Yes. But like 1/3 price to just build on land and bury

>>1401696
All who are not worthy!

I can and i WILL have a citris and fruit orchard in the middle of fucking oklahoma so help me.

This. Used to dig trenches. Bro in a hoe saved my life. Bent over tying wire and shelf off. Surly would have killed bit he was pay attention an slamed bucket into wall like 6 inches from my face. Lot of dirt still rekt my ass but no real injury. Needless to say beer was on me that night.

Doing a bit of digging today.
Remembering OP.

Op are you ok?

>>1404678
OP died approximately 20 days ago, that is,
Assuming he was suffocated or crushed.
-3 to 5 days if trapped and killed by dehydration.

OP is just attention whore, he decided to play dead to collect (you)s.

F anyway

OP is in Illinois.

>>1405163
That's not OP

>>1384410
I'll be seeing you soon, OP.

Thanks for burying yourself so me and my bros can snack on your corpse.

Jim?

>>1384450
Depending on the soil digging can be pretty tough work. I do a lot of digging for footing and shit and there are a lot of rocks, is clay or has a lot of roots it's tough.

>>1384410
Get an excavator and dig a bigger hole with it, pour some concrete so you'll not get killed by the collapsing dirt that weights a fuckton.

>>1407143
Readed the rest of the thread.. is op ded?mi

Moment of silence

Checking in, OP is still dead right?
How long before we get a search and rescue team to dig his bones out?

>>1384410
Make a sturdy turtle shell like thingamabobber that you can wear to protect yoyr torso from compression should there be an accident. Design it well enough and you could patent it and get a licensing deal and make a lot of passive income.

>>1384410
Please don't. You will 100% definitely die.

>>1390472
This is actually the right way to get out, joking aside. Dig sideways and use the dirt to make a pile on the opposite end that you're digging. It'll take a while but you'll get out eventually.

>>1384428
>I estimate it is about 10-12 cubic feet given the slope of the hill.

Quick and dirty guideline: 3 5-gallon buckets equals 2 cubic feet. At a guess, I’m going to say you’ve moved around 5 cf of dirt.

>>1385692
A ten year old could dig more than that in 30 minutes

GIVE SOME GOD DAMNED RESPECT.
OP FUCKING DIED DOING WHAT HE LOVED.

>>1413295
Oh, total respect. He died doing it very slowly. That’s a quality death, right there. A man can be proud of dying like that.

Better luck next life OP

OP here. I had a small collapse and ended up having my foot/ankle trapped for about 45 minutes while I tried to contort myself to dig it out. My friend showed up and helped get me the rest of the way out. I have a high ankle sprain but nothing that won't heal.

Here are the lessons I learned from my incident:

1. I need to look into some kind of shoring system while I am digging.
2. All the rain we've had here has hampered the integrity of my work. I'm hoping it dries out soon, but it's been raining nonstop for the past 3 or 4 days.

Don't worry though! I'm still going to dig! The dream is alive!

>>1413949
No, you’re not the OP, OP is obviously dead.

>>1413949
Post an image of your hole with timestamp so we know it's you.

>>1413949
where the fuck have you been, you haven't called or texted, what the hell are we supposed to think? you've put your mother and I through enough already; get your head out of the dirt and into your books or else young man

>>1413949
this >>1413984

>>1413994
But I am 26 dad! I don’t even live here anymore.

>>1413949
Fake not op. I demand a picture of the hole.

>>1413949
Show us the hole!
Show us the hole!
Show us the hole!

Just calculate the material strength and thickness and then the amount of dirt you want to put on it adjusted for water weight when it reins, it's literally 1st grade arithmetic

>>1414084
I hate seeing this.

The containers are insanely strong but retarded misuse crumbles them up like cardboard. The time/cost to redistribute weight across the corner posts and sides is nothing...

>>1390477
He can't stop killing. He just found a new way to go about it.
>tfw he can't keep getting away with it

>>1414103
Not really, you have to model both the elasticity of the upper surface and the extent to which either side will bow to the deformation of the upper surface, in addition to the amount either side bows due to pressure from material against them. Even if you can model each side as two simple equations, one F=-k*y and the other 0.25x^2=0.25x_0^2+y^2, it's still an awful calculation.
