    GREAT ADVICE... from one plugger to another. Here I sit, 75 years old enjoying life after over 40 years of keeping at it, plugging away. my properties paid off, rents coming in....life is good. I can not quit plugging so I do most of the maintenance myself so as not to wear out the sofa too quickly.

    Your statement about not being flexible and why did that hurt, hit me on so many levels. I just turned 48, and my brain says I’m still the lean, mean, fighting machine I used to be. My body says my brain is full of crap.
    You’re a braver man than I. At the first sight of that recluse, I’d still be running away.

    not every day can be rainbows and sunflowers. some projects make you just wanna bail on it but sheer will, stubbornness somehow find a way to prevail. the cove project is a helluva undertaking Capt, for a 1 man band you making headway. the fact the Triple 5 billygoated its way up muddy sloppy hill was a win in my book

    We’ve all had days where we wanted to just say that’s enough of that and take a break. What separates you from a lot of folks is that you will get right back at it and eventually will finish your projects. Your drive and determination truly is commendable. Stay safe Captain.

    "It's not the hoot I was havin' earlier... But - the DIY rule: you just gotta keep moving...!" Mike, you're a sight wiser than your years, and always a tonic to watch you as you plug away at your imaginative projects! Respect, from an old plugger across the pond. 😎🇬🇧

    Good evening Mike. The problem with most people nowadays is that they’re always in a hurry. They don’t know how to enjoy the simple things in life. Always look forward to your videos. You’re a very intelligent person who can always figure out how to make things work. Thanks for sharing. God bless you and your family.

    Rock and drainage in place. Starting the other retaining wall. It's moving along despite the weather. Mother nature doesn't wait for anyone, so you just have to work around her schedule. It'll get done when it gets done. We're just along for the ride and enjoying every minute of it!

    Next on the list is finish cutting broken limbs, doing a big service on the zero turn, putting up a new fence, installing the 2 post lift, cleaning the garage....one bite at a time!

    Sitting here in North Carolina in the middle of Tropical Thunderstorm Debby watching your video while I still have power. 4K people immediately to the south of me are in the dark. Multiple Tornadoes hit north and east of me overnight. I am very fortunate at the moment. A tree just came down on my neighbors house!

    Gotta admit that when you first made the mason bridge, I was excited when you finished and made it happen. [me laughing out loud at “finished”].
    I’m glad that your vision was so much more and frankly, you have surpassed multiple stages of: there’s no way that I heard that right; and I don’t think that this time his ambition is gonna happen. I’m convinced that if that pit began to start manifesting dangerous life that you would somehow convert it to an up close wildlife experience, if not a petting zoo feature. Push on brother….i believe in you!

    I just finished a 220 foot long 5 foot tall retaining wall in my back yard, it was 100% by myself. I thought I could finish it in a year but it actually took me two years, it is what it is and you do what you can. Anyone here who does for themselves understands that these things always take longer than we first thought and hoped.

  • @stevev3962
    @stevev3962 Місяць тому +1

    Keep on Keepin on. Not that many folks who can work by themselves and stay motivated and with it. Few have any sort of vision, let alone the ambition to see something through. You have that inner drive to get it done. You do a tremendous amount of work. It is so hard for people to plan and execute a project of any magnitude by themselves, working alone takes a bit more planning and thought. You are a special breed. Keep it up.
    You do all the work and then make and edit the videos for us to enjoy. Thanks always enjoy them, and I always enjoy seeing how you solve the work to be done.

    Sorry Captain no need to apologise, but if anyone thought you were going to get the pond finished this year, well they must have been asleep. There was no way in hell it was going to be finished ready for this summer, unless of course you had your own construction team hidding in the woods. Or perhaps they thought that the woodland fairies were going to come out in the night and finish it off for you. 🤣😂 😂 Whenever it's finished its going to look marvellous, from the UK your weather is as crap as ours. 👍

What you were saying about finishing the pool, was related to all the other projects on hand!
