if I started tomorrow, is this realistic to build within 10 years? considering I am working mostly on my own?

they'll find her eventually
>>
>>2877505
Yes, bur you'd have to start today.
>>
>>2877505
If you're posting here to ask, no.
>>
Its not impossible but the are some factors
>money
>tools/equipment
>hidden/secrer construction?
>open/closed
>ground water
>soil/clay/rocks

Anyway doing it just with handtools will take ages. Just moving the soil will take for ever

OP here, I live in southern Florida, do you think that might matter?
>>
>>2877548
Southern Florida is just deposited river mud, isn't it? Like, you'll hit the water table about two meters down, and you've still got fifty to go before bedrock.
At least you might be able to pass it to the government as a hurricane shelter, so you don't have to dig it in secret.

>southern Florida
Florida is the bunker capital of the US
>>
>>2877505
How old, how experienced and how much money do you have?

Underground bunkers in FL are stupid and you don't know why since you want one. You just think bunkers are exciting
>>
>>2877505
I got a headache just looking at that image. Ground water would be a real pain in the ass if I tried to do that where I live. Without a sump pump that whole bunker would be full to the brim with water.

OP lives in AZ, someone just larp'ed and claimed FL

i just got an earth auger but doesn't help since bedrock is just 10 inches or less below ground in most spots. I need to hammer drill out rock
>>
>>2877505
Absolutely no chance. You would need cement trucks, dump trucks, earth-movers etc. If you had those capabilities and resources, you could build the whole thing in a few months. But you're obviously here asking about a 10 year plan because you have none of it.
>>
>>2877505
If you can move the dirt everything else is elementary if you pay for concrete guys to pour for you; they aren't going to ask for permits 99% of the time and will forget you ever did business with them. Once concrete is finished, you're just building a house.
>>
>>2877505
what, digging a big hole, building some reinforced concrete structures, and burying it? yeah that's a reasonable 10 year project with power equipment and a few concrete trucks

Note about concrete trucks
If you pay for the trucks to deliver the concrete, but you do the ground work, it is always cheaper than buying concrete bags to mix yourself, and it gets progressively cheaper the bigger the project
