DIY Budget build pool - Is it what you expected?

[@shepgre]

All of us who have watched from the beginning of this project know you have an amazing ability to see what can be. I don't think I could have envisioned half of what you have there based on that spot originally. Great job!!

[@chugaaa]

Just the fact that you built this by yourself is shocking enough plus the clear evidence that this is going to look amazing makes me so impressed, kudos Mike you're a legend captain.

[@scragmanw]

This put the whole plunge pond project into perspective. Your vision of how the area should look knows no bounds. Thanks Mike for sharing your journey.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Absolutely amazing your family will always enjoy it, Mike you are awesome

[@bobmoroney3643]

You are unbelievable. Great progress and new ideas to add.

[@stephenlucas9995]

You are AMAZING watching you continue to work alone project after project I am spell bound!

[@leslieb.1907]

This project is really coming together nicely! I can’t wait for the next phase next spring/summer! You’re a real workhorse…and the results are amazing! Well done, Mike!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

The progress that you have on the pool is very impressive. I still can hardly wait to see what is next on this amazing journey. Thank you for sharing 👌 😊

[@cyrilhudak4568]

Honestly Mike, I could not see this when you started the project. It has really turned out well.

[@Richard-C]

it's really taking shape Mike, it will be beautiful when you get done, good progress today, and thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Dang Captain you're knocking it out of the park with this project. 😅😅

[@casycasy5199]

that house makes such a change.looks like its going to be fun putting that front roof on

[@bfcmik]

That is turning into a fine piece of work. It will be a huge benefit both for you and your family and your paying guests at the KZbin yacht!

[@everestyeti]

It looks lovely now Mike , going to fantastic when it's finished. Really like that gazebo, looks like it's well made. 👍

[@dougyurecko6500]

Brother that sure is coming together. I am working on a plan for retirement and you are Basically my beta test. Keep pumping out the great content and stay frosty......

[@chillywilli]

You know that feeling that you should build the shelter with two persons, but you are so eager to see it finished you start building it on your own. Well I just watched a whole video see it happening😀.

[@imurhuckleberry7777]

Beautiful just beautiful.

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

Mike, it is amazing how you can unpack, clean up and construct this gazebo in less than 30 minutes! 🤔 Carry on Cap'tn!

[@tomswindler64]

Mike,it is amazing what and how you are able to accomplish so much on these projects.you are the man.place is coming together very nicely.just continue on doing what you do best.be safe.your family I’m sure was very happy with the results.😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@katieallen3927]

It's a bit more polished than I thought. I was thinking it would be more rustic. I think it will be awesome when finished.

[@paulbeasley5026]

Absolutely fantastic Mike, I just love the way you work and do everything yourself, such a hard working dedicated man. Best wishes for you and the family. Love from England 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@mooshaker]

Come springtime I wonder how many times you will question why you installed that before completing the pool. It looks amazing btw. You still continue to do incredible work alone. Kudos to you sir.

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Plunge pool is looking great. Thanks to the supplier of the shelter, looks amazing in that spot. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@douglasashleigh4989]

We're watching the plunge pool encasement , And Kleeman's meticulous placement Of dirt, stones and rocks, And those salvaged blocks Built better than most people's basements! Cheers!

[@frick_works5082]

If only you had a small loader tractor to help pack the backfill.. hahaha. looks awesome Cap. Keep it up 💪👍

[@CaptainKleeman]

There isn't enough access to utilize it around the edge for the wall

[@jk9086]

Uh oh. You better go back to that shelter, smack it a few times and say the magic words. “Now that ain’t going anywhere “. Hate to see it fly away. Much simpler construction than the cedar one I got at Sam’s this year. Looks great!

[@tracywagoner4907]

Looking good there sir. The vision is coming to fruition.

[@Bman2020]

Wow looking awesome Captain 👩‍✈️ we can see your vision now right fancy 👍👋🇨🇦

[@larsdaun1518]

You are a really handy man Captain.

[@terryrogers1025]

Looking nice young man, this is sizing up to exceed what I was expecting, really like the shape of the pool and the shelter is a nice looking addition, this project is quickly becoming my personal favorite, thanks for the update, enjoy watching this come together.

[@gakrazykajun]

Kleeman Khronikles kontinue....Great progress on the pool project there Bud, things are taking shape. Even though the shelter house is not yet completed just having the shell of it completely changes the landscape. And thank goodness you fast helper, Manual Labor, showed up for work today...the Admiral needs to add him to your retirement plan. Looking forward to seeing further progress on your projects. As always....great channel, great content.

[@lhr1701]

Mike the term you were looking for is “Leveling plate “. Keep up the good work.

[@fransinyard891]

Good morning sunshine! I think it looks AWESOME! Y'all are really going to enjoy it next summer! Can't wait to see how it turns out! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA

[@stephenc.3605]

Captain you’re definitely a "glass is half full" kinda guy! Just you by yourself and a lot of hard work……Keep it up!

[@johnwaltman9561]

It's looking good.

[@rickbell3402]

Love it, Mike! This plunge pool is going to be amazing!

[@kenpgh]

Its nice to see the progress on this project , it sure is looking good 👍🇺🇸

[@randydobson1863]

[@jilldunn1041]

Just in time for me to watch so good are these videos makes my night cheers whose mini excavator

[@roberthill6393]

Good morning Mike

[@OLDMANDOM42.Dominic]

Good stuff Kleeman!! Looking good!

[@philipfleming3546]

Amazing how you got it together by yourself, l have wanted 1 of those on my back patio. I feel like l could get assembled by watching how you did it. 😊

[@paulroxby8169]

I like your vision, captain.

[@clarencewiles963]

You’re rocking it ! 😊

[@gordonjohnson9470]

Another great day 😀

[@Edward_John]

Impressive project.

[@kenfrazier616]

real nice, the pool will be awesome

[@dale5898]

Can you double up those gussets? Wait I know the answer to that! YES. Can Do Kleeman!!!!

[@thomasleahy3767]

Good morning! Maybe another collab with Neil Koch Dig Drive Diy and build forks for your mini x.

[@dale5898]

A little to big??? That could be the camera though. Will it carry a wet snow load.I have seen that hut before,Costco? It sure looks sturdy enough. I can’t wait to see this when it done. You have a creative eye. Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!

[@joeheck146]

When my boss sets threaded rod for tower bases into concrete, he blows out the holes and cleans them with a stiff round brush and water to get all the dust out before epoxy. He also flattens the end of the rod so it tends not to spin after the epoxy hardens. The gazebo is not a radio tower, so I understand if you don't take such measures. Just wondered what your thoughts are on that technique.

[@GarrickBowen-ee9cc]

Really! That's all we get from the pool build. Come on maan!

[@robertsimmons3556]

Nice job LT!

[@roybrochu5409]

Looks amazing Mike!

[@harveylong5878]

Ole Floppy might not be graceful but sure does beat a shovel, bucket/wheel barrow. Shelter house went together relatively smoothly. Aluminum? the fabricated bus shelters we put in at our complex were steel. heavy SOB's. pre fabbed roof pieces were supposed to just drop in place. yea no, had to tweak/modify each one. Plunge pool shaping up Capt

[@guitarsbyatomixcustomguita2789]

I think a rock cave for a shelter would be much cooler and natural looking than the steel gazebo.

[@richardwest-q8w]

You have done some beautiful stone work. I dread seeing the stone work stained red from the clay. I know it can be cleaned up, but I still do not want to see the stone stained. I do not have any masonry capability. and I have enjoyed watching you lay the stone.

[@gbel9295]

Ya looked like you were checking out the "Center Fold"....Hahahaha (instruction manual)

[@mikestrand3747]

Gonna look good bud

[@kenmazer9481]

👍🏻👍🏻 because one is just never enough 🤛🏻🤛🏻

[@samsdoinstuff]

"Looks like we're done with step 1, so we're moving on to... step 1" 😂

[@er0030]

Great Job!! Question, do you think that there needs to be a drain pipe behind that wall for water to drain out?

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Keeping in mind that opinions are like butt holes and that everyone has one and they all stink, here’s mine: Why would you assemble that gazebo thing before the construction is completed and also right before winter hits? It’s probably going to be in your way as you finish the fancy puddle and now it’s going to have to survive a winter it didn’t have to. This is a rhetorical question and doesn’t need a reply. It’s also just my opinion. It’s your project and not mine so you do what you want. When and if I build something like that, I’ll do it my way 😂 PS that gazebo thing looks an awful lot like the one Andrew Camarata has.

[@jasonhovey815]

Gunna be awesome

[@Supertech-86]

Once I spent the night in a rain poncho under a sturdy oak tree during a heavy storm, but I don't think I'd seek shelter at a water source under a metal structure -- I'm sure It'll be fine.

[@therusticcaveman]

Good morning, What is the link to the kit? Have enjoyed watching this whole project come together

[@brentjensen85]

How did the wall work at diverting the creek from the pool?

[@morgansword]

Well I reached my seventy fifth birthday and on that day we got a foot of fresh snow. Your still seeing dirt so thats a good thing. Look, I do worry about you getting hurt out there by yourself doing stuff most would hire a team to do. Now when I was your age, nothing scared me. I was bullet proof so no worries "Hakuna Patata" as the lion king pup said. I give you this, its a epic build and I never skip a minute as its fun to watch. No I will never build again, I just got a pair of shoes as My feet are huge... nurse calls them elephant feet. A cheap pair of shoes are three hundred dollars. A guy needs more than just one pair so with shipping to this foreign country, Alaska, shipping was as much almost as a pair of shoes. over eight hundred dollars for two pairs of shoes that look like walmart sneakers. I am happy tho cause Donald Trump is now president so things might be brighter as costs of living may be adjusted.

[@cyndikarp3368]

Cool

[@scott4866]

Need the link to the shelter house.

[@tadams078]

Kinda surprised you aren’t putting a drain tile behind the wall or is it unnecessary

[@toddincabo]

👍

[@catchum5205]

Hi Mike, I know what it is but can you tell me how the name “chirt rock” (guessed on spelling) was derived? Thanks from PA and don’t have or use that term here. Dan

[@Poppi2006]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="564">9:24</a> Do I correctly remember that you are the “safety” officer at the Fire House?

[@rocksy71]

You forgot to post the link to the pagoda

[@mikeduda3173]

Are you sure that was a great idea?Building that before the area was finished? You're probably going to have to work around it???

[@karleck1119]

Sure looks awful nice

[@jamesbailey586]

All that and no drawings
