Just wait until holiday season when guests are expected and the weather won't allow you to play outside. THEN, start on the bathroom. She'll never ask again.
These words of wisdom come from a 74 year old life long bachelor.
Im not sure you have covered this in future vids, but when it comes time to install that liner 2 critical things. 1 please compact the bottom or "floor" areas of the pool. Since you have excavated out the materials anything that is now the bottom is naturally loose from excavation. This will ensure there is minimal shift and undue stress on that liner, helping insure against holes and tears. 2nd, make sure you get a thick, flexible, high quality, BREATHABLE underlayment material installed first. It will protect that liner from cuts and holes that can occur against the sharp rock underneath. You may need to double it in spots where pinch points and rub points exist. Remember that entire pond will shift and move over time, both naturally and with the weight of the water on the liner. The dynamic forces also play a part when the water is moving. Hopefully a helpful tip from a water feature / pond installer. Looks great so far !!!
Love'n the way the plunge pool is taking shape, but what I love most is the awesome father/daughter times. She will remember these days when you are long gone. What is life, if it isn't a collection of fond memories! Great video! Thanks Mike! Lee
Well said. Appreciate ya watching sir!
I agree 100% Got the feeling she's growing up right!
Looking at the fossils it could be your building on what was once a seabed. Maybe your yacht in the woods is more fitting than you thought 😀I'm loving this build.
Lol good point!
Great thought!
Power washing the woods, brought to you by Kleeman
Couldn't visualise it when you started but it is starting look amazing.
It's coming together
Man, his machines, his mind and his talent just get things done. BRAVO
Your sense of humor is over the top Mike. I love your channel! Thank you. 😆🤣👍
things are looking great!.remember that the most important legacy you are building is the memories your kids will have of all these projects.
Absolutely
I don't know why anyone would unsubscribe from ya. They'll surely be missing out on seeing you Miking around!
Cap’n that one of a kind floor is speck-tacular. And having built in drains and spillway for the waterfall is truly a God-send. It’s like it has been sitting there for eons awaiting discovery!!!
I’m loving the progress… your vision is clearing with each step you take. Keep striding along… I’m already ticketed for the next ride.
Your videos are always full of little gems. When you were opening the door on headquarters storage and your daughter says; "Daaaanger?" With innocent excitement. Gold...
🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. I’ve been waiting for you to pressure wash the stone for what seems an unreasonable amount of time. 😂 Was definitely worth the wait. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the future episodes, definitely sure it should be great to see. Wishing you and your family the best.
Lol glad you stuck it out!
My wife says the exact same thing to me! Love the fairy pool :) keep up all the good works you have going on.
Thank ya sir!
All Admirals out there have that instant knack of bringing you back to reality, when you don't want to hear it. My Admiral for 29 years kept reminding me about the Kitchen / Dining room floor, managed to get out of that one by moving to a home where all the floors were finished. Got out of that one by moving to a home where all the floors were finished .😂🤣👍
I’m a rare Admiral- i do my own floors! Kitchen demo and renovation, Master bath and now Hall bath .one more to go, and it’s done!. 😃
Just love it when mother nature and mother earth provide the features you need to accomplish your project! It's as if it was meant to be!
your ability to see the forest through the trees on your projects amazes me. keep up the great work
Thanks!
The vision becomes clearer with each video, I think we can now see what you’ve been seeing all along. Cherish those moments with the kiddos, before you know it they’ll be grown and gone. Stay safe Captain.
Appreciate ya watching!
A quick tip for a happy & contented life; DO THE BATHROOM! It'll make a fine video
Lol
Just like the comic that shows a man sitting in his chair scrolling through a magazine of yachts asking his wife what they should call their new boat,
she answers "Oh honey... what about baby's college fund?",
and the next pane shows the guy standing on a bough of a yacht with a smile, and the name of the yacht is "Baby's College Fund"
Ha ha, I feel you about having small, boring projects to finish vs. interesting new problems to solve. I just nailed in in a little section of baseboard that's been just leaning in its home for the past several months. I ought to do the spackle and touch up paint.... But my daughter an I have a great start on her birthday piñata and that project is way more fun.....Keep at it, you're doing an amazing job.
Pinatas over paint any day
The Spackle 'n' paint will wait ;)
Let the Great Wall of Kleeman begin!
I am gobsmacked at how perfect that rock ledge turned out to be. Without a doubt, there will not be another rental in the area which has the features you are highlighting (and sometimes creating). UH MAY ZING!
A phrase that helps people push through challenges: “do what others won’t do now so you can do later what they cannot”. As you invest in your future retirement plan by having passive income streams developed, it grows faster when it includes a little sacrifice. Being happy (or happier) with what you have, repurposing your scraps, harvesting others trash, and reducing consumption are all difference makers. Compare all expenditure savings against what you would have to earn (pretax) to have the privilege/convenience of dropping it on a credit card (or line of credit).
Enjoy the weekend, see you on Monday sir!
Thanks!
Got to love it, " The Level Gague". 😂😅😂
Epic intro (says the also married guy)! If it helps, the trim isn't done in my bathroom either that I remodeled 5 years ago. Oops! lol
Yep, five or six years here also. Fortunately I'm single, so I don't have someone to remind me how long its been.... 🤷🏻♂️🤣😂😁
Trim is the worst part of any build 🤣
It has to be said Mike, you are one very clever man. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
God has given you many skills my friend. Please appreciate all that He has blessed you with. I can see that family is number one. Thank you for allowing us to share this adventure .
Heck yeah, pool in the woods!
Mike one of your best videos keeps changing, in part thanks to the Admiral.
💪
They keep getting better and better.
Hello Mike. Around 10 million years ago, someone thought that a person like you would need a ledge just that, so it has been waiting that long for you to show up. I thought the strap job was to transport the mortar not lift it. Your worst plan, which this was not, is better than most engineers engineered idea. I like it when your preview is to return to a previous project although, I like it when it just happens. Have good days!
They definitely had some good thoughts indeed lol
I love the Admirals name for pool. Anyway, this is one of the projects you want to see go start to finish. Like a land yacht. Again, anywho. You're doing great.
Thanks!
Great job! The fossils pretty cool to see. Cant wait to see this pond/pool come to life. Keep it comin, and “ I don’t hate it”! Lol
I'm loving the plunge pool videos! But I'm so ready for the dump truck to get back on thr channel. And the world HQ. Oh, let's not forget about the UA-cam yacht. I was skeptical about this channel at the beginning. But he has drew me in! One of my favorite channels on here. Thanks for another great video!
Good morning Mike!
Morning!
I don't know if you are going to do this, but.... I would drill a half dozen or so holes in the limestone under the concrete and stick some rebar out of them to help stick your wall to the limestone slab! Luv ya's from Kentucky!!!!!
Yup
Karl, this is an excellent point! Capt. Mike needs a way to firmly attach the different materials' surfaces to one another.
Yes Captain, your fabrication skills are top notch. We would expect no less. Amazing job on the limestone. The pool is going to be stunning. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
And it helps to have 10 foot long arms to hold the wall up while reaching for that piece of 2 x 4 at ~16:18:37.7. 🫣🤪
Not completing the bathroom is a worldwide phenomenon...... I need to finish tiling around the window, been putting that off for eight years 😮😂
And other projects have come along and been completed 😂😂😂
You stone floor is fantastic after cleaning off all the clarts.... No wonder your little helper came down for a look 😃
And you added brown dye to the pool, it blends in perfectly for now 🤔😂
And now for the stone walling to start..... 💪💪💪
Lol sometimes projects just get boring
Captain, you are doing an outstanding job and looking better with each episode. God Bless.
That mixer looked like r2d2 being lowered😂😂
Maybe take the bathroom trim, and combo it with he goat barn chicken coop, that should get more eyes to the channel!!! 😅😅😅😅
27:30 Yes, you may need to tell us when you are joking. I like the level gauge the most.
🤣
7:20 mark. I can sympathize with your digging out that clay!
I installed two guardrail water bars this weekend, and I had to dig out the same red sticky clay to get them seated into place. It was a PITA!
But I am glad I did it when I did as it POURED five minutes after I returned to my shed!
Definitely difficult to work with
Always impressed with your use of the extend-a-hoe, Mike! Such a useful accessory, even in crane mode ;)
Definitely handy
This area is going to be amazing and well worth the work. Stunning already!
Pretty epic addition for the Kleeman Holiday Resort Mike. Looking forward to seeing how you will use all that salvaged Limestone
💪
I can’t wait to see you guys get it up and working, I’m just as excited as you guys and girls are, lol👍👍😎😎🍮🍮❤️❤️
I love "the Admiral calls it I think it's awesome and I appreciate you doing............................................................................................................................................................
🤣
The magical pond will look out of this world - your vision and Mother Natures efforts spanning millions of years have combined to form a most beautiful feature. Your ingenuity and skills are a joy to witness, Captain, and those fossils will thrill and enthral kids of all ages for many years to come. I salute you, sir ! Thank you for taking the time and trouble to record your art.
Hey thank you for watching!
That floor is going to be insane!!! I'm very excited to see this take shape.
Loving the videos and your ingenuity and the banter captain
Thanks!
You deserve the luck, with all the work you’re doing there’s a lot boiling on the stove, but we have faith in you!,,
This man is so busy , but still finds time to get in a quick zinger on Delta......😂
That is going to look great. Your ambition is contagious. Just finished my small walk bridge this weekend. Stay safe
Hey that's awesome!
Good for you!
You're Admiral names things like mine does.
I always say; "If I say I'm going to do it, i will. You don't have to nag me about it every 6 months." 😅
Capt stepping up method to his madness. the toter/water tank on site with mixer save alotta time and trips. that limestone ridge and slab going make for sweet shelter house/rest area. that reclaimed limestone finding a new lease on life. its my building, its my box is right Capt
💪
It looks like a 'Landscaping Destination'.
Good job captain you are full of talent
Thank you!
i used garden hose for a couple of years after it had developed so many holes in it (freezing every winder) that it was like a full yard water sprinkling system. Finally got tired of getting wet and threw it out and got two more new ones this year!!!
That's going to look amazing great foresight and creative thinking Capt. Love the channel, Stay safe, Happy and Healthy.
Appreciate ya watching
@ 17:40 It is nice to see that Commodore 2 is supervising and keeping you on a short leash and mistake free !!!
Have to agree a guys never short on garden hose when people throw away so much least it works for what I need it for excited for more and future content
This is going to be beautiful and unique. Nice vision there boss.
Thanks!
When it comes time to fill in the Natural trenches in the stone use a little brown dye to make the concrete blend in with the rest of the base slab. If a guy want to go full perfection use a concrete stamp to make it blend in even nicer. I love how this random spot you picked happened to have the perfect floor buried under many feet of soil.
Awe Capt Mike .... there's a fine line between genius and madness ... just not sure which side o' that line you're veering towards. Heck, either way, I'm just here enjoying the ride. Love your content, man! :D
👍 That boom extension is paying off big time. Scary mixing right over those fossils. Hope you make a cave behind the waterfall so you can stand under it. Good work.
I'm excited to see how this turns out - Great work, Kleeman
Going to be epic, I’m looking forward to this one, thanks for the update, enjoying this series I am.
Appreciate ya watching!
This project is looking amazing. I had a random thought though, if you will allow visitors there might I suggest you restrict them from digging out fossil souvenirs. Before you know it they could destroy the slab. You and your channel are great... thank you.
Appreciate ya watching
Captain your base slab looks great! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Your helper is just a tall as DP's helper, but a bit more cute.
🤣🤣🤣
Oh deary me .... Where's Aaron ? .... He's being besmirched! Actually, I have a feelin' Aaron would love this comment! lol!
Nice job sir Nice yard good show sir 😃👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Mike & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mike & Friends Randy
Hey, captain, love the videos. Here's a little pressure washing life hack....or whatever you wanna call it. I guess a tip. Lol, anyway get you a tennis ball to jam in the handle to hold the trigger for you... Your hands will thank you!!! Keep up the good work. Cant wait to see it all finished.
@5:57 those IBC totes are the bomb / I see people with RV's and campers complain about water but if you are hauling with a truck just throw and IBC tote in the bed and water problem solved / and the cages they come in are great for firewood and other things
😂😂the Admiral needs to temper her expectations 😂😂
🤣
you impress me so much with how much you get done. It's taken me 3 months to build a shed in the woods cause the heat is kicking my butt!
You'll have your own Falls of the Ohio fossil display. Cool project!
That hammers approved by dirt perfect. Enjoyed the video as always.
You are a gem! I was thinking a jack and you bring out the foot operated Lever ❤
Don’t worry about the trim in the bathroom. I haven’t finished ours and I built the house in 1998. You don’t want to rush these things.
Good to have a great helper. This project of coming right along with good luck on your side too.
IIt is how a wife can come up with those catchy names for our projects.
Coming along nicely
Thank you!
The mud makes everything fun alright. Subdued sarcasm makes me smile.
The Admiral has a good point.
My wife used to come up with long names like that too! 😺
Captain Kleeman it's starting to take shape. 😅😊
You have awesome vision of the possible. 🤓 Thank you for bringing us on the journey. 💖
Looking good Mike it's going to be awesome great video thanks
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Hey Mike, at the 5:30 mark, it looks like your tank valve leak may be due to that "ball" seal. It looks like it had a crack in it, but you probably have already seen that.
"The level gauge is showing full...."!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I've flown worse setups, Delta primarily." 😂I love the humorous dialogs!!!!!
Good morning sunshine! I can't wait to see how it all turns out! It's gonna be awesome! Great video! Much love from Henderson Ga USA
Morning!
I'm loving seeing your progress on this project. Can't wait for the next video.
The trim in the bathroom 😂😂😂 the admiral sounds picky i want to see more on the truck tell her that see what she says 😂
🤣
Love this build captain this is going to be a cool place to hangout 🎉🎉
Captain, you definitely got lucky on that rock ledge.
It's going provide a perfect base for the retaining wall.
And look absolutely beautiful once the whole project is finished.
Should call it the pond Fossil cove especially with that tropical looking dye water or limestone Fossil lagoon overflowing oit the tank the level indicator shows its full hahaha 😂 love it and dont lie u enjoyed throwing that mud in the warter and splashing like if u was a boy again 😂
Appreciate ya watching
That fossil rock is really cool!
That is really cool sir. It is a wild sounding dream that is taking shape.
That is going to be an amazing feature on your property!! And the bathroom trim is on the schedule but there is a trim shortage lol😂😂😂
Looking good! Just like a sculptor, you were removing all the mud that didn't look like a waterfall with that pressure washer! I would rather be out working on the water feature than on the bathroom trim molding, if it were me too. There isn't much fun in doing trim molding.
Lol thanks for watching
Better yet, the 'Fossil Pool'
