“I’m not a professional, Just don’t want to pay for one !”
Best disclaimer ever !😂😂😂😂😂
Watching his work, he's just as good. 👍
I’m not a professional, but I play one on RUclips. 🤣😂🤣
Love the use of the rescued limestone.
My back is killing me just watching you lift and move those bags of concrete.
Doing a great job there. Your vision and creativity is unparalleled!!
The best projects are self paced with zero expectations. Makes them enjoyable.
You got that right
I worked at the local ready mix for 15 years. I was around cement every day of that. Never wore a mask/respirator type thing.
18 years later and I'm fine.
I think you and 100 bags of sacrete will be fine too.
On another note, this is maybe the best property project I've seen you do.
Hey I appreciate it!
Definitely go with the people wheel powered waterfall , Cap'n .
Call it a fitness center for the Airbnb and market it as an additional amenity with a complimentary team building program .
I second that idea with the option to switch between solar and bike power. It would be another “one of a kind” feature and a talking point for those building memories.
You make me laugh and smile every time I watch your videos. Please do not change. Also, this place is looking crazy cool. I often have to tell folks to just hang on until the vision starts to come together and you'll see. I love being surprised by the outcome of such projects.
Thanks randy
Your doing a great job Captain!! Retaining wall came out very nice with the existing lime stone deck.
When you enjoy what your doing it doesn't seem like work. You seem to be enjoying yourself. Great project.
Stonework looks great Mike. Stay frosty brother
“ horseflies have been friends with me all day “ 🤣😂 your humour is right there with mine Mike, love your quips, love this video and love your channels 👍👍 keep at it Captain, you’re doing great. Best wishes to you and your family, from Britain 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
Hey thanks for watching!
I agree 15 minutes on the bike for 5 minutes of waterfall. Looking good Mike. 🐶
“Up down left right triangle square” I laughed so hard at the PlayStation reference. I never would’ve guessed you ever played video games.
🤣🤣
Come and enjoy the Kleeman experience! A boat in the woods ? A bicycle powered waterfall? New additions coming daily 😂 great progress bud 👍
Good Morning Captain!! The oasis is looking great.
You must sleep very very well Mike.
Awsome build so far.
The Admiral should be a very happy Lady.
To devote all of your time off work. . . . to Work is a huge credit to the prosperity of your Clan and a measure of the great man that you are.
Making America Great Again.
Your Forefathers would be proud .👍
💪
Captain you do have a great vision of what you want. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
DUDE!!! That wall is freaking awesome! Love it.
Thank you!
It is looking fantastic! Amazing how your vision is developing little by little on every episode...can't wait for the next one.
Thanks!
Cap’n I like it!
Dyeing those limestones blue is a pro landscapers touch!
Can hardly wait to see what comes next!
PS… those pool pumps are made to have the intake above them. You may end up putting a backflow check valve at the inlet end of the intake pipe to hold prime when the pump shuts off.
Backflow preventer would definitely help.
Ah, ha! The Gilligan's Island method, kids on a bicycle. Now you just have to make a bicyle out of bamboo. Thanks for the video, take care.
🤣🤣
I like the waterfall where you can get under and spray your head. Lovely in the heat. It’s shaping up well 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏾💋💜
Captain, you have done a great and professional looking job. The Admiral should really love what you have done so far. God Bless.
Appreciate ya watching!
And the man knows how to fill in the puzzle pieces. So talented.
💪
Seeing the retaining wall 90% complete and the water flowing is such an accomplishment. Looking forward to the finer details till it is complete!
Hi HI Captain. Greetings from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Just love how innovative you are, making something out of nothing
This pool is looking better with every video!
You have a lot of great ideas. Watching this all come together is a beautiful sight.
Thanks!
Lime stone & concrete wall turned out very good. Looking forward to a completed project with everybody enjoying the shelter & plunge pool.
Awesome project!! It's a lot of work but you'll end up with a unique and fun gathering spot. I find myself watching your videos twice...cause a fella can just really enjoy them!!
Hey I appreciate that! Thank you
I'm in the "twice" club too! Partly because my daughter is sometimes up ridiculously early and I don't have all my comprehension brain cells turned on at 4am California time when the videos get released. ;)
Looking forward to the next episode.
💪
That will be, with out a doubt, will be a million dollar addition to the property, it is going to be awesome, I am excited for you young man. Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.
Appreciate ya watching Terry
9:59. Love the nature break!
so cool indeed. A gorgeous lil buddy
💪
Thanks Mike - very promising. Great to have a vision.😊
Appreciate ya watching!
Good morning Mike! Awesome
Hi Mike. I know you're not a professional, but you do some really nice work! I would say you are a Ninga DIY'er. The whole wall/swimming area/waterfall looks awesome! The Blue Bayou is the kicker!
The stone is looking devine ❤ you have inspired my new kitchen.
Not sure which is more impressive, your skill set or your creativity. As always, love the channel.
I think it's a four-way tie: skills, creativity, work ethic, and humor.
@@user-yu3qv7yw2e 100% agree.
You could create a manifold on the outflow side to direct water across several of the rocks for a larger waterfall feature. Looks like you've got good flow with the pump and it'd support it.
Be worth trying
It's amazing what you start out with nothing and come out with something that you made!
Just love how you’re winging it. It really shows the creativity of the designer. Can’t wait to see the more videos. Btw watching your videos from Guam .
Hi Mike & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mike & Friends Randy
Appreciate ya watching randy
the blue dye really makes it pop, it's going to be awesome, i don't travel much to the US but when the house boat is up for rent i will make the effort to book a week just to see you and your amazing family and visit all the amazing places on your property.👍👍👍👍👍
Captain, you have incredible vision! Just love your projects!
Thank you!
That’s gonna be Beautiful Mike, my wife and I over it❤️❤️👍👍😎😎🍮🍮
Thank you!
How bout barbecue grill down there so family’s can cook out. Not much chance of them spreading a fire. And some Koi or goldfish to keep mosquitoe larve down. Would be nice spot to hang out. Way to go Captain!
Good idea!
Love It, Love it. Kids on Bicycles for power. LOL Its all looking great Mike
Thanks!
Looks good, top tip.
When finished with the mixer, put a bucket of water and two half bricks and let it run for 20 mins.
It will be spotless and no need to chip out hard cement with a hammer. lol
Its nice to see the progress in this vid with a flowing waterfall , the blue tint really stands out - keep up the good work 👍🇺🇸
You are Amazing, Mike! I love the progress and the vision!
Thanks!
The wall came out awesome. This is going to be an amazing project
Looks brilliant Captain, just a little word of advice with the generator, make sure everything pulling power is either switched off or unplugged. Its only because the draw is greatet than the starting action, the generator is just panicking because it can't produce enough power. 👍
Your vision is coming to fruition . Very cool
Thank you!
Captain, you never cease to amaze me!
💪
Outstanding Captain!
One man gang
Super project
Well done job
Hat off
Thank you!
Beautiful!!!❤ awesome job Mike!!💪🤗🇺🇸
Thank you!
Pools looking good. Almost seems like you could do to pipes and make a bigger waterfall. Hopefully we get some dump truck vids soon.
Probably not for a while.
That is soooo cool! Love the look of that limestone. Great video. Alot of work, keep it going
Thank you!
Great use of the lime stone. I bet it makes the work removing it from the church building worth all the hard work. 🚒👍👍
Great video, thanks for sharing. Things are just looking better and better. Wishing you and your family the best.
Loved the kids on a wheel comment. 😂
Thanks Tom!
Looking great Mike.
The waterfall might need a little tweaking to get the look you want but I have a feeling you’ll get it just right.
Definitely will take some figuring out, but I think we'll get there
Awesome, another great project, thank you for sharing, i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
Appreciate ya watching!
A couple of rocks thrown in the mixer with water at the end of the day works wonders, works better if you turn it on ;)
Yup
Man, this is lookin' great Cap'n! Wish I had your vision.
Thanks!
Shaping up nice! Think water hydraulics when you route your pipe. Shortest run, fewest couplings will get you the best flow. May be cost effective to run poly under the liner in one piece. Fine work on the wall.
Thanks!
" how cool is that ?" It's more than that captain, IT'S AWESOME🧱👍👍🗽 🇺🇸 💪
Thanks!
Good job Captain keep on thinking.
Thanks!
I thoroughly enjoy all of your projects, but this one is amazing. When it’s all said and done, I would totally make the 900 mile drive (and pay you) to swim in it.
Lol great!
Captain, i hope that You this Projekt in the next Time to Finish !!!! And not how the Boat the Production have in the next Years a never End !!!!
🎼 BLUE BAYOU 🎶
Your blue pond is Boss Daddyo. In a word it is “Awesome” 😎
Looking good! CC dust, silicosis etc.. Your a fireman, tell them about the products of combustion at a car fire!! Keep up the good work CPT!
💪
It's looking great so far Mike...while your at it with the bicycle idea why not have the kids running the cement mixer! lol
There ya go!
Best video ever!!! Outstanding work. Can’t wait to see the project all finished up.👍🇺🇸🔧
it is really coming around excellent creation Boss and sure the Admiral will be happy with your talents
Thanks!
@@CaptainKleeman any time sure enjoy that morning coffee with the Captain
Going to look great when done
Thanks!
I think the wall looks amazing, keep up the good work!!!
Thanks!
I love your enthusiasm and resourcefulness. You’ve got a great attitude. Keep it up!
Hello Mike. This place is already cool, so the rest of the build is a bonus. Waste not, want not. Use your resources. The Eagle Scout way.
Have good days!
Everything is coming together ❤️ Your foresight is amazing 👏 I absolutely love and enjoy anything and everything you do. Thank you for away making me smile and laugh. Thanks for sharing 👍 😂
alot of struggle and effort but its looking real nice enjoying the build. cheers captain.
Thanks!
Perfect Mike, a bike powered water pump. That really makes you enjoy it, and the more you pedal, the more you enjoy
Captain you are on to something there nice work a million $ must be a market for that if a fellow wanted to the pool seems to be holding water as well set in stone 😂 👍👋🇨🇦
wow! Captain, that is looking amazing. I had no idea how great your vision was. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Great job!
very cool the wall looks amazing love the way you caped it.since your testing what the falls will look like maybe a y on top and send water in both cracks
Might be worth trying
Cap, two word. LOOKING GOOD!
Thank you!
@@CaptainKleeman De nada.
Mike I mean u really impresse me with your fortitude. For what u do by yourself it would take at least 3 ppl to achieve what u do by yourself u should be very proud of yourself thks for taking and editing the vids
Cool video. That blue looks so much better than the nasty brown water. As always, thanks for sharing.
Now I can see your vision. Awesome!
That’s going to be a nice grotto.
💪
Lovin it all Mike
Thanks!
This content is incredible. You should be getting so many more views.
Thanks!
Looking 👀 great Mike.
Thanks!
It's looking really great Captain! :)
Have you considered having the pipe from the pump feeding the water toward the back of one of those cracks in the limestone slab? - that way it would flow like a little stream across the slab to the waterfall.
@ 24:00 you might want to experiment with the output of the pump because the flatter/wider the rock it comes off of is going to be more visually appealing and having the output farther back from the ledge edge will also give the water time to spread left and right to give a better look
Poison Ivy cove will be a thing of beauty.
Mike you don't half come up with some good disclaimers the pool is really coming on, your wife and the kid's will love it, thank you for bringing us along.
Excellent video Mike thanks
Appreciate ya watching!
Yip pretty cool Kleeman like it, maybe consider dead manning the back before back filling maybe just to be sure. Great vision and surrounding awareness
Thanks!
Captain looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
I can't imagine your motivation suffered! I think those "setbacks" were just extra motivation!
