Sorry if the photo is gay-i but I am wondering any ins or outs for building a similar styled in ground shelterSo far I plan to dig a 7 foot deep hole about 8x8 foot wide and then build a strong lean to or gable wood framed roof and then sod or dirt over itAnd have a hatch or maybe even regular door to get into it. Or a tunnel style entranceMy main question is wondering whats a cheap good material to line the walls to prevent water from flooding in and it just being straight up dirt and shit
>>2984828>cheap good materialConcrete. Other stuff will leak or degrade quickly.
>>2984849>concreteBuild wood forms and add rebar right? Itll be water tight unless it cracks right?
>>2984828It will fill with water. If I was going to do this. >Find a hill that faces south >Dig into the hill about 15 feet and add weeping pipes and gravel>Add a pipe for intake of fresh air that can be closed and keep things cool >Pour at least the floor in concrete, walls can be wood but water proofed completely >Roof and more water proofing, some vents for later use, ie, a chimney vent >Front wall with small windows down low for lots of sun >Backfill it all>Plant on top of it >Enjoy Any other way will eventually fill with water, it's inevitable
>>2984895Something like this
>>2984851>concrete>water tightlmao
>>2984897>>2984895Cool thanksI should of included my reason for building this shelterI want a mostly sound proof shelter (traffic noises annoy me) that is just a simple hangout and relaxing spot, but i figured if it was in ground it could be budget friendly (i would dig it with my buddied mini excavator on the property)Okay so maybe a better plan is to build a wood frame shed and maybe instead of buying insulation I can stack dirt around the outside of the walls and hope it soundproofs it good. I would build the overhangs to cover the outside dirt wall so that it never really get wet
>>2984828You want windows letting natural light in from a minimum of 2 sides. For underground houses like this 3 sides is best.
>>2984851Really bro? Lol
>>2984971Please forget that I said that and please answer this , you probabaly work an office job and think women should vote and are probabaly not worth talking toIs there anything particular to know about building concrete forms or should I just follow whatever google says
>>2984940>should of
>>2985002>shaint
>>2985005You had one job
