A breath-taking sight to behold. And the elevator install wasn't bad either.

Have you considered building a small shed above the elevator? Privacy, seclusion, weather proofing, etc. a new raised sliding cover could allow the elevator to come up higher. You make an excellent video and you are quite the talented guy.

you have no idea how much i love this series, your so funny and extreamly inventive!

Regarding the furniture: Movie Studio's love period furniture and may pay big bucks if any of it is salvageable for restoration. If you can't sell it, offer to donate it to a restoration company. Rotten wood, cloth and leather can be replaced, but leaving it in tact as much as possible allows them to find matching fabric and recreate the wood to ensure an accurate period restoration. As a last resort if no one wants it then toss it.

Emergency route. In the structure of the frame, it would be good to have a "ladder" along which you can get up if there is no electricity. As well as an elevator floor hatch. So you can get out even when the elevator is up. Both easy to add. You will add horizontal steps between existing supports.

Love the recaps at the beginning of the videos... Also, major props to your wife for putting up with your crap. ;-)

I was thinking about that scene in, "The Guns of Navarone", where there is a lift that transports shells and powder, up from the magazine. An underground swimming pool would be a cool thing to have down there. Your wife is such a good sport.

Two things, your wife is a very understanding woman, second don’t ever take her for granted.

Really appreciate these videos. I know this project definitely had its ups and downs.

I think that it would be a good idea to store your extension ladder down in the bunker incase of a power outage. That way you wouldn't be stuck down there

Wow! What a beauty. Ruby red Lass. Especially with no visible tattoos. And you're not bad either, Herb. LOL What you need down there is some amateur radio equipment so that you can stay in touch with other "Ham radio operators" during the apocalypse. Ham radio operators are mostly single guys that live in their mommy's basement so I believe they will be able to relate to your bomb shelter videos. Good luck in the contest.

Super entertaining! I love how much easier, cheaper, more convenient, more reliable, faster, and safer the elevator is rather than just replacing the stairs. Video breakdown: Entertainment value - 98% Practical value - 2%

Great job! Fun series to watch and enjoyed your craftsmanship. Pays off keeping all extra bits and pieces of scrap! Looking forward to the renovation.

Love the humor in your videos. The bunker is cool too.

Absolutely love the lap dance music playing during the spider twerk. Epic!!!

I don't know how I have not run across you before, but you sir are hilarious. Subscribed.

Looking forward to the big clean out! Really gonna put the elevator to the test. That furniture had to be from the 60’s! Loved seeing Mis-o-matic, you two are 2 peas in a pod! Hope she makes more vids with you. Stay beautiful, Oh and herb you too.

This made my day keep up the great work! Can't wait to see the restoration of the bunker Begin, maby you could even make a tunnel to your show like Colinfurze (:

My dad used Brylcreme back in 50's-60's brings back memories. Great video series

Your humor is brilliant! I keep rewinding to hear things again lol

Man I love this series! You've got amazing fab skills! Can't wait to see the shelter cleaned up. Keep up the great work

Fantastic work! It looks as if you could some additional horizontal bars going up the framework (in-between the existing ones) and you'd have an emergency ladder as a way to climb out with no power :)

I've binge watched the entire series on the underground shelter. I've come up with a good use for it after you rehab it- in-law guest suite!! It's perfect for all those unexpected guests that you just don't have space for. You could build a little shed over the opening.

Your videos are getting better and funnier. Thank God your wife is a good sport.

I am sure everyone in the apartment complex likes watching you work on the bomb shelter. I don't think I would like everyone watching me out in my yard though.

Recently discovered you guys, can’t wait to see how this project turns out!

I love this series and channel. This is my new comfy place. Your type of humour is so rare these days, please don't stop.

Found you randomly last night. Genuinely made me laugh. Instant subscriber. I really appreciate the skills, tools, comedy, interesting challenges and personalities. You can feel the love. Love it. Thanks so much. Hope your business challenges can be overcome assp. Regards.

Tip: if you want to raise the platform to be level at the top so you don’t have to step up to get out, just build a box the size of the platform at the height needed to finish flush. At the bottom you can just do a raised floor with a couple of steps or a ramp to the door. Might just need to raise your safety gate. Just an idea 🤷🏽‍♂️. I’ve been loving watching the build and your humour is 👌🏻.

"the steel on our handle has dried" is probably the best hot glue gun explanation of welding I've every heard before.

wow big job, thank god the dog was helping you two

Great finished product. Fits its space well and looks like it was always meant to be there. Loving this build, can't wait to see what you do to line out and tidy the bunker

This is a cool project. You did very well. I can't wait to see more

congrats on reaching another milestone - the first episode filmed entirely in ass-cam

The music every time a Butt appears is hilarious!!! And there was even Lotion in the basket i mean bucket!!! Haha

I love your humor. Thanks for sharing.

Good idea may be to weld some extra runs on the elevator. so incase of a failure in the motor/winch you can use it as a ladder to get out

Good job , a bit slow , wife star of the show

Your angle grinder safety is amazing!!!!

So…. if the power goes out or the winch fries or something, how can you get out? You have a ladder in there? Maybe make a ladder out of rebar going up the side of the cement? Something like that in the future. I think you did an amazing job and I really enjoyed your videos man, I can’t wait for more! 😎

So as a follow up to the offer for real elevator buttons, are you interested or planning to make it more automated? Like press the button once and it run down and stop on its own and vice versa to have it come up? I don’t have a property like you to carry out all this fun so living through you. BTW, I def think you can take the channel full time, I think you are on your way.

when you're a dreamer it's good to have someone around who can always see the potential for failure.

It was a Bomb shelter for the big 'what-if'. If it's going to be used for more than that (obviously) it should have some basic fire safety and a second egress. Even a simple vertical shaft with a built in ladder in a back corner or over the bathroom would make it practical. Even the missile silos like the one in Tucson had emergency egress routes. A little shed over the main hatch also makes a lot of sense. It would just look like a standard storage shed at the corner of that fence. Super fun watching. I'll trade you an airplane ride for a tour one day :) Scott in Chandler.

I remember the first video that you made when you first opened the bomb shelter and the two of you went down there and investigated it. I don't even remember how long ago that was. But I'm glad to see you finally have made some progress and have gotten an elevator system in there so that you can get up and down safely. And I can tell how much you love your wife because of the fact that you are constantly zeroing in on her butt. Only a man that is in love and very attracted does that.

Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭🙏🏼👏🏼 That's good idea man!👏🏼

Cool idea to build an elevator! Now You can clear bomb shelter more easily.. Great video! 👍

Looks like the floor could use a bit of bleaching. I love your creative ingenuity!!. Great elevator!

I just genuinely gufawed at these absolutely good dadisms. You must have a great relationship, and it shows.

OSAH has left the group chat. This is one long video about why women live longer than men and the thoughts that run through men's heads... Also it's amazing the effect the different colors of shirts have on her hair color, bringing out different notes with each change. May I suggest also that you install a limit switch of some sort that will stop the lift if it rises under the lid while it is closed since otherwise it could just go squish and or crunch.

Crazy, I'm going to have to watch this. Thanx for the entertainment

36:51 it all comes to pass. Your elaborate scheme to trap a pretty lady worked! SUCCESS!

This guy knows why I clicked that thumbnail! Bow Chicka Bow Wow!

Preserving history right here.

I JUST found u...u ARE a genius. I'm HAPPY to.follpw and learn. Thank u. VERY talented Friend

Subscribed!.. let's get this party started!

Hopefully u get back to the bunker work again can't wait to see it

The intro recaps and butt music is hysterical!

Y’all really know how to make an uplifting video entertaining.

looks pretty cool....totally jealous. now I need to buy a big shovel to make one under my man cave/work shed

This guy is a good videographer.empty it and tile the hole thing would be killer

What a great creation, very well done!

DUDEZILLA! I LOOOOOOOOOVE your 'recaps'! I laugh out loud A LOT when I watch your videos! THANKS DUDE!

Amazing build! Now add a safety switch to the elevator "door" so it has to be closed when operating the elevator. Also a safety switch if the elevator door frame hits the closed/ partially closed hatch. There is enough space between the upper edge of the elevator door and the platform for a person, so if it stops then its no problem. Put a ladder into the elevator shaft in case the elevator fails.

Some golden god energy at the end there with the short shorts

Just found this channel. I appreciate the honest camera angles and attention to the build. I will stick around for more uploads.

Would love to stop by one of these days and see this thing in person.

I don't know how much hoped she was for you both those close-ups of her Were definitely a help for me lol

Man what an awesome can crusher. Had to subscribe for this one. Great assistant you have.

My Grandma use to say “Have a nice trip?” “See you next Fall!” That part cracked me up. Excellent series and very entertaining. Keep up the great content and commentary.

Very cool. If you really wanna make it extra I would install a drag chain for the remote and a end stop so the elevator doesnt go up if the hatch isnt opened. Fantastic

Herb, I wish you were my Neighbor. You are hilarious and very creative. Thumbs up, Way Up !

Your commentary is hilarious.. Great work Man!!!!!!!

Absolutely love this channel and you two. Made my day watching this. I swear not twice. Also turns out I get addicted to your channel I've been checking it numerous times a day in hopes a new video will appear.

At the end now and wow that place is actually huge!!! Holy smoke a bathroom also. I’m looking forward to what you do with this. Sorry for so many comments and good luck.

Cool wife. Cool elevator. Thumbs up.

I just found this channel, and I binge watched all the uploads, and your content and humour are 🔥!! My new favourite channel!!

Amazing table , Charlie I made it all the wat to the end of the video

Sweet video, man, I was trying to climb through the screen to help you get the lift into its home , nice job, looking foward to this build 👏!! See ya next time!!

You need to put up down controls at the top and bottom of the elevator to clean out the bunker. Fun

Your sense of humor elevated this video to a whole new level 😏

nice job on redo, id suggest more runs on elevator so u can use as a emergency ladder if power goes out, id love that in my back yard lol...

I've ridden alot of elevators in my life, it's cool to see how the pros install them. Be sure to upload installs into office buildings, curious to how you do it. 👍

very interesting to watch, but a strong parttime helper might be a good thing to have

Why was I so amused watching this? 😂😂 The music with the spider doing it's moves had me laughing way too much. Lmao. New sub here. 👍

my first herb-o-matic video...subscribed. Love the sense of humor.

i think watching this youtube channel is contagious my wife says to me every day act normal. nice youtube channel keep it up

Excellant job keeping the wifes butt in focus. Thank you!

Thank you for a wonderful example of marriage and adventure

👍☑️ Looks like you got a winner here Herb! This series has been great so far and has the potential to go on and on as long as your lovely assistant /writer/director/actress stays with the project that is. Tks for doing this for us.

I love your assistant, oh yeah the wife to.lol. the posable things that you you can do with your bunker, you can have a slumber party for the two of you or a small get together with friends or family. But it's also important to have the bunker for all the crazy things happening now days. I would put the dog house on it,or build a shed around it to hide it and make sure you have ventilation pipes and a bio air pump and water back up to. Keep enough food down there like 25 year life storage food. But it's cool to have something like that in your backyard,along with your wife to keep you company so you don't get scared. Lol

Had to pause video at 7:54 to comment. This editing has me cracking up. Nice job.

Loving this project and love watching your videos lovely couple

Ya know what this means now, right? Elevator hanky-panky! Cue the booty music... Sorry, couldn't resist. As soon as the 2x4 went down inside; I just knew it was gonna be in the way - it's part of the laws of physics, you know! Same as: if you dropped buttered toast, it will ALWAYS hit the floor or dirt butter side down!!! Really enjoying the series - thanks for sharing.

Ohhh, so THAT’S why you’re such a happy-go-lucky guy… you got a wife that looks like that 😎😜

Gave a for using wife as a "Thirst TRAP" on the video. 🤗

You are Da Man! Great job 👏.

Fantastic shelter ! You should add phony planter box to the lid to camouflage it.

This is awesome, immediate sub

That lift is a great way to stock supplies

9:54 that's why I Subscribed
