I worked hard for 4 days straight to get as much concrete and block done before shutting down for winter. The Embattled parapets look great even though there are a lot more to do!

it would be nice to have a fireside chat, explaining how all this came to be ..... buying the place, first idea of it all, previous jobs, all the vehicles at the bottom of the mountain , life and times of the wizard

I second this

@neilfromclearwaterfl81 6 месяцев назад

In his first video with Dave Sparks I believe he presented it as fulfilling his dream of having a lab for running experiments and environmental studies along with delving into his background in engineering, etc (possibly physics too... I forget all the details) but lately Alan has been expressing concerns about completing it in-time to escape coming civil unrest focusing more on the Fortress aspect. If its to also be a fortification to sit out a civil war and social collapse type situation its a bit too obvious an attention getter screaming "food, water, supplies are here" making it a prime target in that scenario especially with all the RU-vid attention. Lack of a secure water supply though could become a critical issue so a good well accessible from the top is sorely needed. It may however come to pass that not having much might save your life if the social unrest some fear comes upon us. Best!

Is it me or is Allen doing a much better job with his videos, Great Job Allen.

@RealLifesJourneyBecomingPinoy 6 месяцев назад

he is doing an awesome job, I should know cause I have been busy as well with filming and editing my own film footage too.

@duaneayers6117 6 месяцев назад

Allen, u really should start asking for help with building your Fortress. U don't have enough time in life to see it finished and for u to enjoy it if it's only u working on it. U should set aside some weekends next year for having the people who really want to see the Fortress finished. Good Luck 👍

@SeanWald0 6 месяцев назад

enjoy the journey!

@Propaneo-insaneo 6 месяцев назад

Kinda downer comment, do you know how long it’s taken him to get this far? Perhaps he doesn’t want help?

@MacGyver2154 6 месяцев назад

So a volunteer weekend at Allen's fortress. Bring your own camping gear.

@sandrabell6532 6 месяцев назад

Yep he has a great vision. ❤I’ll probably be in another realm before he finishes. Good luck 🤘

@charleshyde6461 6 месяцев назад

I get what he's saying. Just realistic. There so much more work to be done and for one person no doubt.

@DBCooper81 6 месяцев назад

Every Wizard needs a Fortress...100%

@johncroboski4836 6 месяцев назад

Truly inspiring to see what one man can accomplish bag by 80 pound bag not to mention the block. Thank you for the interesting content and for showing us what can be done with dedication and hard work.

@jonnyringo6338 6 месяцев назад

The Crenelations on the parapets look amazing Alan. In the old days you would need a licence from the King to add those to your manor to make it into a castle.

@sarahbowman7566 6 месяцев назад

The embattled parapets really do top off the fortress so nicely and the contrast of them to the solar array will really be the icing on the cake. Not to mention that the view at night into that inky black sky looks insanely cool.

@sharonkasper5126 6 месяцев назад

Must say you are one incredible man Allen. Doing such an immense job is truly amazing. Praying for you friend to keep strong and dedicated. Blessings.

@hamiam2243 6 месяцев назад

You won’t regret putting the parapets in super cool 😎

@Dee_J_T-n-B 6 месяцев назад

@jimkhana007 6 месяцев назад

We’ll done Allen, slowly but surly getting where you want to be. Your patience and commitment is admirable and I hope someday we get to see you enjoy the fruits of your labour 👍

@MrLaking123 6 месяцев назад

these updates on the fortress are great to see

@Kiki-Kauai 6 месяцев назад

Wonder how much thinking Alan does about the fortress? There are so many things to consider but it seems he has a master plan already. It’s a great content creator as it seems we are all anticipating seeing the final build.

@justnana2256 6 месяцев назад

You're awesome to have done all this basically by yourself. Good luck with the weather. ❤️👍🇺🇲

@clarencewiles963 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the update. Being an Army of one you’re doing fantastic on the Fortress. 😊

@michelehaderer8069 6 месяцев назад

Wow! You’ve really been working hard, Alan. It’s good that you’ll be able to work on the inside. Blessed Be, friend.

@garyhopkinssr8561 6 месяцев назад

Allen you are amazing. I hope you can get the third floor done soon so you can enjoy a little bit of your home. Get the windows done. You can use propane heaters to keep it warm and have a propane cooker for food and enjoy the fruits of your labor and your home. You know what I am saying. Do it for yourself and us. You deserve it Allen. Please take care of yourself so I can see you enjoy at least the third floor or any room. Of your your fortress . ....please........✌

@menow7851 6 месяцев назад

In an older video we got a tour of his underground living area and workshop. The man is a Wizard.

@simonworthington3330 6 месяцев назад

Alan your doing amazing things and a pity you cant finish the block work before winter. When you say light at the end of the tunnel is keeping you going . We cannot wait to see it finished.

@derekkinsella2343 6 месяцев назад

Hi Allen thanks for the updates , im not quite sure of the product but when i was a brickie / block layer years ago we used a additive when the whether turned bad it prevents the mortar from freezing and loosing its structural integrity, its not mortarasiser but a special additive you mixed with the water befor mixing, it accelerates the setting time stopping the frost from causing any chance of effecting it properties ill see if can find the name of it . Gerat work getting so far, and thanks you for all these cool videos a mix of everything. You are an amazing person with so many great talents, Thanks Allen keep the videos coming 👍💯%💙 from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

@everettdegrasse8478 6 месяцев назад

I sure hope you have weather that will let you work. The Fortress is looking great!

@iainmceachran321 6 месяцев назад

Allan, you really are a wizard. Sparks is lucky to have you. That’s an epic project you gave yourself. Single handedly building the fortress on your own! Don’t burn yourself out. If you can’t get stuff done before winter really sets in, then so be it. I wish you had someone else to assist you. Take care brother.

@texasterri2002 6 месяцев назад

Looking like a wonderful fortress, Alan!

@dennismann9764 6 месяцев назад

Dennis from Holbrook ma. U have to run some kind of a contest and the winners get to come out next spring or summer and help u build ur fortress! Get people involved. People love to help...ok brother have a good 1...b safe

@R.E.A.P 6 месяцев назад

You're a great asset to your employer, yes we know they helped with the concrete and all but dude....... you deserve to see it finished and to be able to live comfortably for awhile. "Sparks" could send the boys and have you taken care of in no time.

@theLyzhendricks 6 месяцев назад

Im glad ur making so much progress on the castle/fortress its ganna be awsome when its done

@jimijester2424 6 месяцев назад

Love to see the progress on the fortress. I would like to see it finished before I die and we maybe cutting it close. ( 61 years old )

@menow7851 6 месяцев назад

I think he's more about the journey than the destination.

@jamesrogers6376 6 месяцев назад

Allen. Do you know how many cinder blocks you have used? I'm curious

@chadlusk2928 6 месяцев назад

Allen Your a good man!!! Hard working, stay focus. We are all with you 👊🏻 Good luck Stay safe Happy thanksgiving Brother 👍🏻

@shk2564 6 месяцев назад

Looking really good and I am glad that you are giving us the update and showing us your progress. I don’t know if you are doing it in response to my request for it but I appreciate it! It’s obvious that you have been hard at work! I can’t wait to see the windows and shutters in. I would love to see the plans or drawings of the finished product! It’s hard to imagine what it is going to look like and know what you are referring to when you talk about it…like the “green room” etc. ❤

@LuckyRubb3rDucky 6 месяцев назад

@mattborges5905 4 месяца назад

Utah looks awsome. A fortress at the top of a mountain is incredible. You are a exceptionally skilled person with a dream to make it happen. Go allen go.

@ronnydowdy7432 6 месяцев назад

I am amazed at how much work you do at your Mountain Fortress by yourself. When I look at all of these issues with this build I see a whole lot of hard work has been accomplished over the years. I do not remember if you have said how many years you have been building it but I sure would like it if you would make a video about how your journey began and you story of why you want to do such a long lasting build. Do you have any plans to live there at some point in time? Will you give us a tour of the whole thing or are some things you have done will be kept secret?

@edwardstephens247 6 месяцев назад

Alan, I can't wait to see the finished product.

@markhatcher4325 6 месяцев назад

You need a Team of hands next Spring get the exterior wrapped up faster Hell ya Brother great job on getting to this point for sure! It's going to be Sweet🤘🏁🇺🇸🏁🤘

@charlesurrea1451 6 месяцев назад

I wanted to talk to you about those solar panels. I understand you want to increase their longevity, however, putting them away as you have described isn't going to cut it. They're made to be set outside and do their thing. This is especially true if you're using batteries for night time storage. You're going to want to have them at an angle during the winter of course and not so much during the summer as the sun is much higher. I'm still quite anxious to see how the wind turbine works out.

@tomvelgersdijk9444 6 месяцев назад

Its looking like a real fort now 🎉

@edwardgilsenan2959 6 месяцев назад

Wow Mr Wizard an amazing achievement your videos are incredible keep up the best videos on you tube along with Sparks 😊 👍

@jamesrobertson4258 6 месяцев назад

I am really enjoying watching your videos and watching how the Fortress Is being built. Enjoying and enjoying

@davezxtt 6 месяцев назад

Can you not get the wind turbines up and running while your waiting for the solar panels you want to have? Are they designed to give enough power to help you have some heat and light while working indoors?. Cant wait till you get upto doing longer videos of how progress is going, one of my favourite projects on youtube is the fortress.

@charlierumsfeld6626 6 месяцев назад

Wild and crazy man. Great work!

@robertburns3014 6 месяцев назад

You're making great progress on the Fortress, Allen! I am in awe of your many skills and basic intelligence. You are blessed in many ways, Brother! I look forward to one day seeing the finished project! I hope you'll take us on a virtual tour of your place once it is finished. Stay safe and warm. 😊

@Golden-69 6 месяцев назад

You need dig a big hole in the ground. Time to clean the yard up. Put water tank in ground with a pump. Keep it from freezing up. Heat tape on the pipes.

@Andrew_kiwi_AF 6 месяцев назад

This is truly Amazing. Good work Allan, will it ever be complete and lived in?

@ryansauvageau6638 6 месяцев назад

It would be nice to get the fortress enclosed and warm. Good work Allen!!!

@Incorruptus1 6 месяцев назад

Hello Allen Sir! Looks great. More walls, more defenses Hehe. Awesome. This was a busy work year for you for sure. Great Winter break moment for sure. Have a great time sir, Christmas is coming. Was wondering if you still have plans also to hand the vehicles down the mount a comfortable roof,...and maybe some safety, since of the weird visitors?

@Tclans 6 месяцев назад

Godspeed Allen. Coming along nicely. Too bad winter is here, on the other hand we have something good to look forward to I. The new year. 👍🏼 Question: you seem to have clear vision about the fortress. But have you also thought about greenery? Like for instance foliage, top soil with grass and moss’s around the fortress. And second to that, big planters filled with different kind of flora.
