I wish I could find this one hobby tunneler YouTube channel again, some German (?) guy digging a huge underground lair by himself by hand, seemingly as a residence, no talking and lots of techno, where I left off he was trying to cast copper throwing knives.

Several years ago there was a goon that wanted to build and underground rape dungeon "server room" in his backyard. Digging by hand, in soil that is known as "Texas Hardpan".

The thread was closed, and I don't recall the conclusion to it.

Yeah I didn't make it to the thread before it was closed but I've shovelled my share of dirt and its definitely a lot of work even when it's already disturbed. Let alone when it's undisturbed. A small excavator to rent would have been better. But that was too expensive, or not fun enough or something.

I have buried my grandaunt by hand. Not by myself, mind you, the whole congregation was there shoveling. The hole was already there, we just filled it.

In the process we met the bones of her husband, which had been picked up by the excavator.

Turns out engineering for confined spaces is actually really hard, and doing it right is really expensive, and if you fall down and hurt yourself, the fire department is gonna shout advise to you for the half hour it takes them to get the confined space team out and geared up to come grab your stupid rear end.

Then they're gonna give you a mid 5-figgies bill for the opportunity!

I'm reminded of a guy who decided to buy a used cargo container and bury it in his back yard as a "party bunker". No reinforcement to handle the weight of the dirt, no ventilation, just a single hatch in the roof. I gather that, after being told just how stupid he was being, he did some significant re-engineering to add reinforcement and ventilation and make the exit easier to access, but I dunno if it was ever actually safe.

When in doubt, err on the side of Awesome!

Every time I see DIY bunker poo poo I just think to myself that carbon dioxide weighs more than oxygen and I'd never trust myself (let alone some random idiot on the internet) to set up the proper ventilation to prevent it from becoming a makeshift tomb.

The sequence from 0:30-0:35 tells quite the story about the quality of her ventilation system:





No discernible air movement except for the plume from the cutting wheel when there should be a steady flow sufficient to keep the air clear. She also should have a lifeline attached and someone else at the other end of it ready to drag her out of the hole if she were to fall unconscious or be injured.
