We Rebuilt an Abandoned House Left for 180 Days into a Modern Home with Tunnel Swimming Pools
In this video, join our tiny but mighty team—just three builders and one dedicated cameraman—as we take on the ultimate survival-style renovation: transforming an abandoned house, left empty for 180 days, into a sleek, modern retreat complete with secret tunnel swimming pools. Working with nothing but primitive hand tools and raw materials, we channel the spirit of the Survival Builder channel to prove that big dreams can be built from the ground up—literally. We start by clearing decades of overgrowth from the property, using only machetes, axes, and pure elbow grease. Watch as we fell trees for structural beams, split bamboo for scaffolding, and quarry local stone for the foundation. Every nail is hand-forged; every log is notched by hand. With just one camera capturing our every move, you’ll feel like you’re right there in the dust and sweat. Next comes the most ambitious part: digging a hidden tunnel beneath the house to create two interconnected swimming pools. Without heavy machinery, we rely on shovels, pickaxes, and careful engineering to carve out over 20 meters of subterranean passageways. You’ll see how we shore up the walls with timber supports, line the channels with waterproof clay, and hand-pour concrete to create a polished finish. Back above ground, our team raises steel beams for the modern façade, assembles large glass panels by hand, and crafts a minimalist interior that balances comfort with primitive charm. From thatch roofing accents to industrial fixtures, every detail blends raw survival techniques with contemporary design. If you love DIY challenges, primitive building methods, and epic before-and-after transformations, this is the project you’ve been waiting for.
