Great job, Brother! Thanks for all your work. We’ll be sharing drinks around the campfire soon!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Gonna be awesome!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Tony, you have a great place there. A veritable treasure trove… of neat stuff and future memories. I hope you have a lifetime of good hunting and great times!

[@billtefft4315]

Takes me back to my formative years of the 1950’s and building forts, treehouses and soapbox cars out of found materials. Great memories (sometimes some of the found things were maybe not so lost). I’d love having a cold one and mane some s’mores around that campfire. Enjoy!

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Tony admit it he has crazy ideas. Yet somehow makes it work. God bless

[@BWYinYang]

BSing too, right?

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Captain Kleenman the way stuff keeps going up. That roof save will be priceless. 😉😅😅😅😅🤣

[@glynngrauer3962]

Good morning Afternoon evening and good night all

[@michaelmullins1290]

When the wagon was wiggling. It made me laugh. Nobody will ever question your work ethic. You're a good brother.

[@markkenes4848]

Think I saw big foot hidden behind a tree watching you guys !!!!😂😂😂 Coming along just fine 👍👍👍👍

[@glynngrauer3962]

Goodnight all

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Even your brother is amazed your ideas actually work. Did you tell him your guardian angel is in therapy. Lol God bless

[@heatherlane9270]

I can hear it now in many years time "Remember when ...." - many great stories from this 'clearing' job. Fun is good but ice cream is just about as good- both together would be better still. (Ice cream is my favourite food but eat very little of it due to health reasons ,). Loving this project.

[@caveweta]

Those batter chainsaws are awesome, so multi purpose.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Very handy!

[@JayCollins2013]

That 755 is great 👍. Works fantastic ❤

[@wt1491]

Captain you can do things any way you want to!! One of the things that makes your channel so great is the way you look at and attack things! Over the last few years, I’ve been watching your channel I have been amazed at your knowledge and skills in these projects that I’ve watched you do. Also, you are much funnier than you realize.🙂

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you for the kind words

[@richfaherty4662]

A well balanced episode of ingenuity, determination and entertainment.

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Tractor Time with Tim would be proud of you. God bless

[@billbyrnes9505]

C'mon man! You have a four wheeler to pull with, and a tractor with forks to help lift, balance, and push with? What where you thinkin'? You just got MOSSED!!! 😁😁😁😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍. Great video, thanks again!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Someone's got to hold the camera or you wouldn't get to watch it

[@Chico-td2fy]

That dang box fan was in the way Bud! Good times!⛺️⚓️

[@maxobara1496]

Send this video to the History Channel so they can put it on “Mega Mover’s “ great job guys, love the new tires on the quad😂👍🇺🇸

[@rickbell3402]

Run what you find! All good, Mike!

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@kurtloftfield4537]

Good morning Mike, settling in with a big cup of coffee to enjoy your antics! Keep the video coming, it's cold here and it gives me an excuse to kick back with some coffee. :-)

[@CaptainKleeman]

Morning!

[@bettyowens7046]

Men are happy when they are working. God made us this way😊

[@doughadley9448]

Great work, I had always heard the saying" the tire was only flat on the bottom " but today I saw one on your "Dolly" lol

[@TL64329]

Good video Captain-you guys seem to be enjoying yourselves and that is really what life is about.

[@lonniechartrand]

Once again I am very impressed with your "run what you brung" attitude!

[@LoneStarPatriot68]

Good morning

[@Fatamus]

Did someone say coffee?

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@joeanonemouse]

Hangin out with your brother doing cool stuff all day. It don't get much better than that Captain. Thanks for sharing. Great video. 👍

[@josephzickert4051]

Holy smokes it worked. Now I can't wait to see how it's used.

[@CaptainKleeman]

You and me both!

[@marknunya3035]

We've used those centers for a bunch of our field approaches and we've found flashing tape and cutting the walls in four places two rings and force them together. We use a couple of Deck screws for additional attachment and no it's not easy but can be done with a skid steer usually. Just another useless tidbit of information that may help later builds and don't forget the lube 😆😆. As always good luck and God Bless.

[@CaptainKleeman]

They work good!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Captain Kleeman

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Kevin

[@PaulButkiewicz]

Clever trick joining that pipe, and good to know about the tile core. With the cost of pipe and couplers these days, we gotta do what we can to save a buck. Great job Mike. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us

[@DMAN10]

Waste not, want not! City boy interweb crusty’s will never understand…lol! Thanks for saving, and sharing Cap!

[@miker1448]

Sunday morning with the Capt and Tony! Dang right it's worth saving. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrsamzero1]

I applaud you for saving the roof and money. I really like watching all you guys up there.

[@MikeInTrafalgar]

Watching Tony cut the supports that Mike attached with deck screws! Who else was yelling at the TV? That was good wood there bud!

[@CaptainKleeman]

🤣

[@graciemaca6996]

I figured those tires on the old trailor had to be dry-rotted by now 😮 but your compresser saved the day! Great video finding old treasures and moving the old roof to reno for somewhere else. Nice day with your brother!👍

[@jimmowers7675]

Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing Mike. Have a great day.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n, once again you proved the immutable laws of physics…. 1 You can’t fill a tire with a compressor if the hole is larger than the hose bringing the air! 2 There is no finer means of getting traction than turf tires on mud covered with wet leaves. 3 It may very well be possible to build a house from the roof down! 4 Two country boys with a 755, a 4X4 and a little time on their hands can move just about anything! PS I’m about done with the rivet stamp… should be able to send you an e-mail this week!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Sounds good!

[@andrewcooper8980]

As soon as I saw the shape of the the rafters. I said save the roof. It’s going to be worth it. Then you and your brother said we try and save it. Perfect 😁

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@Bman2020]

The 755 keeps doing what it does awesome all about recycling leads to great finds 👍👋🇨🇦

[@budlvr]

Tear off the 5 layers of roofing (probably #250/100sqft) and getting it up in the air will be a LOT EASIER! Love this project. Tony is a lucky guy!

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Look'n Good Mike & Tony! Lee

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks lee

[@tomswindler64]

Y’all put a lotta work into. That for short time working,little by little,do what you can do.👍👍👍😎😎😎👨‍🚒👨‍🚒👨‍🚒

Thinking on your feet is a skill that is often over looked👍, well did. 👍🐝🌞

[@JohnDavis-rh5qn]

Great job captain you and your brother are team

[@charlesfreed7834]

Looks like a good piece of hunting land

[@nevillekinsley5610]

When you have a day when everything goes wrong, remember the shed roof epic win. Four posts and you have a shelter.

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@davisfarmandorchard6160]

You get a lot of work done with that lil 755, that’s awesome 👏

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Watching you moving that roof the term "Rube Goldberg" popped into my head. "Field expedient" might be more accurate. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hey appreciate ya watching

[@leol1682]

Like the video Mike and Tony .

[@bobbydawson7706]

I am on the culvert and am amazed and admire your talent at completing anything you set your mind to, enjoying the video

[@timkd5vmv583]

Looking good Captain!!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Tim

[@sherrieday3183]

Save what you can!

[@robertrousseau5264]

And your brother did a great job saving that roof that's a whole lot of money when you do start rebuilding that shelter RuPaul ready-made up what you got to do is reach sheet it shoot that's good idea whatever what know better what anybody else says and I still think I'll maybe not the old fireplace might be savable alright this is Bob from Vero Beach Florida God bless have a great day and stay safe

[@jeffadams3277]

"Son of a b@#$h, it's working! 🤣🤣🤣 love the videos, keep'em coming.

[@CaptainKleeman]

🤣🤣

[@Camping814]

"Worst case scenario, we burn it" hahaha! Great video, looking forward to what's next in the mix.

[@kevinkress5993]

Persistence makes a difference. Well done.

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@farmingsmallkubota1783]

The jobs and amount of work you will be doing once the Backhoe is finished is going to be epic. That poor 755 might get to rest finally

[@annasproule6138]

Wow, you are saving $$ by having those roof vents in situ! Great relocation job!

[@doritleis2773]

It is not to believe, what on 5oom2 Wood on old Rotten board and rusty Iron, old Car rubber and little rusty Machine round to lie. A very good Idea, this all to clean. Greeting from Austria 🇦🇹

[@tmacie2]

That 755 keeps on tickin! I'm sure the 555 would have been nice to have there but the 755 is way better than a shovel and a donkey!

[@CaptainKleeman]

It does a great job!

[@private15]

22:10. Omg the roofs on fire. 😂😂😂

[@grilnam9945]

Good morning sir

Howdy Cap.

[@trentherring5640]

Shaping up nice. You need to find some old telephone pole for the shelter house supports.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Captain you always find a way to get it done! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@justindorado8152]

[@brucehuff5566]

Hi Hi Captain, good morning from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Wow been enjoying you clearing up your brother hunting grounds and doing reclining of what's left it the cabin

[@CaptainKleeman]

Morning Lloyd!

[@kevinblevins2612]

Beautiful piece of property, set the roof on blocks, and you can work it up in the air one corner at a time with the tractor, then set posts under it

[@home-powersystems7782]

Thanks for bringing us along. You and your brother work well together.

[@CaptainKleeman]

You bet

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Working with Family tends to be a Job in itself at Times, I Had the Pleasure of Working My Son’s and it can be Tough but they were some of the Best Years of my Career.

[@home-powersystems7782]

@@davidcolesr.8628 Family can be quite stressful even though you love them.

that's called getting it done, one way or another. been there done that lol. good job boy's !! 👍👍

Thanks 👍

[@georgesch4928]

Neat stuff. ! Heck yea reuse / save money. Thanks for sharing.

Great job Captain, you worked your tail off and so did your brother I'm sure he sure appreciate everything that you do!

[@digging_in_the_parks2238]

Something that I love about your channel is the run what you brung philosophy. It always gets the job done for you. Great job sir

[@CaptainKleeman]

I appreciate that!

[@fsj197811]

Cool deal, thanks for sharing.

[@joycefuller9177]

Great video. Love your humor! Great that you and your brother can help each other out.

[@terrypomatto907]

Mike that is interesting how you were able to make the connection with the two pipes. The entire project is something to be admired, you make it work no problem what the issue is... Look forward to seeing the 555 running and doing a lot of the work that you are doing with Little Green machine. It is a sad state of affairs when we have to worry that someone would steal the culvert if it isn't secured tightly.

[@mikeduda3173]

It's nice just to see two brothers having fun

[@gilbertmick62]

Mike tu sera toujours le meilleur rien ne te résiste ça passe ou ça casse courage tu auras le dessus bonne journée 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🤗😘 de papy Gilbert de France bisous bisous ❤️

[@rogercpate4386]

Nice work, "run what you brung" is my philosophy too. You do good work with what available. Thanks for the videos.

[@dansevern3291]

Looks like a good time. When I bought my first 30 HP tractor with a loader, a friend of mine said "you can't dig with that loader." Challenge accepted. (Heck, I'd just built two house pads with a non-loader old tractor with a little 4 foot box blade.) Glad to see the little JD is still exceeding expectations, and really impressed you got those tires to hold air, even for a little while. Thanks for the video, it's daylight now, so guess I need to go get ready for the snow storm on the ranch. Take care!

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

If cost was the only benefit (cost of new materials vs repurposing the dilapidated fallen house), then most would never attempt the adventure nor benefit from the discoveries. That said, I admire the huge undertaking that you two went through to find out if there was value to be had. Those victories (shared by brothers) is priceless….that doesn’t include the stories that will be told and perhaps embellished. People spend huge amounts of time and money to create/capture those emotions yet walk on by the core of what makes us all tick. Little discoveries that fuel the imagination and strike new life through limitless possibilities. If it was handed to you (gift wrapped on a silver platter) it would not deliver a fraction of what happens when operating in the raw, rough side of life. Whether it is two brothers or a pair of best friends (like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn), discovering and repurposing lost value is a treasure hunters dream. Comparing that to entitled over-privileged consumers who cast aside recent purchases because it didn’t deliver what it cannot (internal peace/joy) is the stuff of greatness. Push on and keep moving forward brothers !!

[@allensharlow7763]

It’s coming along nicely Mike

[@davebulkley4285]

I am grunting right along with both of you.

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

Fusion to get some 2x8 and go from end to end and they'll make your slides for your tent for that so it doesn't drag and easier to tie down once you lag them to the feet of those arches

[@googooforyou]

If you set that culvert in an angle toward the woods and make a ditch runoff into the woods you can have a huge entrance to the camp

[@CaptainKleeman]

For one direction anyway

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Absolutely awesome the place is looking great

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks 👍

[@RB-wl7ct]

Run what you brung is what most folks have to work with. Great video.

[@anthonyfry5927]

Interesting way of doing that... but it worked!! Good thinking 👍👍

[@wendywhite4537]

Thanks for the upload. I would have saved the roof. That’s money saved.

[@garydillon3960]

Mike everything is looking great. Why do they call you Captain? Keep up the good work and waiting for some more work on the old building. It is very interesting. Please pray for the war situations that are going on today. Good Health and God Bless You and Yours.

[@larrykleeman353]

Awesome work guys.

[@stanleymartin1613]

Neat stuff. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎

[@peterdrake3535]

Hi Captain so with your day job you try to prevent and extinguish fires and on your days off you seem to send a lot of time setting fires 🔥🇦🇺

[@ralphcrume2173]

I think most of what you do is pretty spot on. But this one is an exercise in how to spend a dollar to save a dime. But it's your dime. Good luck with the project.

[@CaptainKleeman]

How you figure? Half a tank of fuel for a roof system? I need to come buy pre made roofs in your area I guess 🤣

[@HalsPals]

Captain. It is well known that amongst brothers, one has the brains and one has the good looks.... Which one are you??? I can't quite tell. hehe ;)
