Not sure which is more impressive, your skill set or your creativity. As always, love the channel.

[@FlapjackMcGee]

I think it's a four-way tie: skills, creativity, work ethic, and humor.

[@shepgre]

@@FlapjackMcGee 100% agree.

[@stevezwemer1262]

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!!

[@AutisticDigger87]

it's nice to see someone that acts like an ordinary human

[@CaptainKleeman]

🤣

[@AutisticDigger87]

@@CaptainKleeman yes it was a little unintentionally humor in there 😅. You seem to have a lot of ideas going on there inside that noggin.. Let's see how it all will turnout..

[@guyina4x499]

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.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hey I appreciate it!

[@garyflores8992]

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 .

[@stevenlatham4397]

“Up down left right triangle square” I laughed so hard at the PlayStation reference. I never would’ve guessed you ever played video games.

[@CaptainKleeman]

🤣🤣

[@lionelgardiner4408]

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

[@CaptainKleeman]

There ya go!

[@2wheelzdown180]

Come and enjoy the Kleeman experience! A boat in the woods ? A bicycle powered waterfall? New additions coming daily 😂 great progress bud 👍

[@markrwc6185]

This content is incredible. You should be getting so many more views.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@dansevern3291]

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.

[@CaptainKleeman]

🤣🤣

[@kaboom4679]

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 .

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

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.

[@garulusglandarius6126]

“ 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 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hey thanks for watching!

[@mikesorg6746]

The best projects are self paced with zero expectations. Makes them enjoyable.

[@CaptainKleeman]

You got that right

[@carloskawasaki656]

Awesome, another great project, thank you for sharing, i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍

[@CaptainKleeman]

Appreciate ya watching!

[@scottmyers226]

When you enjoy what your doing it doesn't seem like work. You seem to be enjoying yourself. Great project.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

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.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Backflow preventer would definitely help.

[@dale5898]

That’s going to be a nice grotto.

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@Popeyes66]

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 .👍

[@CaptainKleeman]

[@goptools]

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!

[@Phil_86]

Your doing a great job Captain!! Retaining wall came out very nice with the existing lime stone deck.

[@Crewsy]

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.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Definitely will take some figuring out, but I think we'll get there

[@randycook4364]

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.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks randy

[@bobmoroney3643]

I agree 15 minutes on the bike for 5 minutes of waterfall. Looking good Mike. 🐶

[@stuartlafrancis1371]

Going to look great when done

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@dougtisdale1380]

Captain you do have a great vision of what you want. Thanks for sharing!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks for watching!

[@PiezPiedPy]

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 ;)

[@CaptainKleeman]

Yup

[@garydillon3960]

Captain, you have done a great and professional looking job. The Admiral should really love what you have done so far. God Bless.

[@CaptainKleeman]

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.

[@tbix1963]

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. 😂

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Tom!

[@MikeGetsItDone]

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.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Be worth trying

[@topfuelrules4me]

DUDE!!! That wall is freaking awesome! Love it.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you!

One man gang Super project Well done job Hat off

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you!

[@everestyeti]

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. 👍

[@southerncharm2023]

You have a lot of great ideas. Watching this all come together is a beautiful sight.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

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!

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!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hey I appreciate that! Thank you

[@FlapjackMcGee]

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. ;)

[@terryrogers1025]

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.

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
