Replacing Crushed Culverts with CAT Excavator

[@billloomis7611]

You're quality of work spills over to Mike's jobs too.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you

That opening was classic, I almost spit my coffee.

Lol

"I've got about a gallon of super glue and a dozen hopes and dreams holding you together". Now I gotta tell ya, them words is pure poetry there Bud!

Lol thanks Tim

[@garulusglandarius6126]

That statement of Mike’s had me in stitches 🤣😂👍

[@americanpatriot2.06]

That's GoPro #38.....I don't know. I've lost count. At this point Captain Kleeman should have a lifetime supply of GoPros from GoPro. At least until they design a Captain Kleeman Proof GoPro.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n, once again I survived the fall. My pride was bruised and I was just a bit more shell shocked but… otherwise , no damage. Thanks for training me to always wear my PPE when watching your vids. I had put on my gloves, hard hat, knee pads, ear muffs, face shield and steel toe Croks… and, just as I was reaching to latch my fall restraint lanyard…. BAM! You know, my cat like reactions aren’t as quick as they once were. They roughly resemble 90w gear oil being poured in January. I guess I’m gonna have to set my alarm a few minutes earlier on Thursdays and Sundays… just so I can don the appropriate safety gear for the morning project! I too use my small tractors front wheels to pack in tight areas. There is something about molding those curves, offsets and odd spaces with a rubber tire that I find oddly satisfying! See ya Thursday bud.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Gotta make it to the pre video safety meeting for sure

[@pinwizz69]

So Captain, it ain't just mirrors you're the nemisis of ? Cameras are in that catagory as well ? Well, no matter. You did your usual outstanding job fixing up those two culverts and most importanly the customer is satisfied. Thanks for nother nice sunday episode Captain.

Appreciate You Having us all along, off to Watch Mustie 1. You have a Good one, I’ll catch you on the next one. Keep It Safe Out There Sir

[@buddyreed2623]

Hi Mike. When I saw you tossing the stones to the side, I felt I knew what was coming. I was correct and the result was fantastic. I had no doubts about it as you had done that type of work before. It is too bad they did not have more rocks, but as you say, "Run what you brung". Have good days!

[@maxobara1496]

Now I know why my knees are hurting, rocky surfaces 🥴 Love those rock pipe ends, nice job Captain 👍🇺🇸

I love watching you work. You’re a one man gang on those culverts. And I swear there are times when you take better care of DP’s truck than he does. Thanks for the personal history. It helps us fans get to know you better. And I love your commentary, it adds so much to the video. Keep up the good work.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hey appreciate ya watching

[@leol1682]

Like the small job on the culverts .

[@dennisryan7487]

Nice job of bedding the pipe Captain ! Most people don't understand why it's so important to get good material around the haunches of the pipe!

[@CaptainKleeman]

When fall is minimal,. It's definitely an important step

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

The little details you had done around the culverts made a huge difference, that's when a homeowner knows that they made the right decision. Awesome job Mike. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@dansevern3291]

Well, makes me feel better to see a professional using the same technique I would have used on those rocks on the end, (get off and move them by hand). I also know that building gravel driveways that are smooth, tapered, and level where they're supposed to be, isn't as easy as you make it look. Well done, sir!

[@alexosborne5629]

Pleased I was lying down while watching this episode Captain, I didn't have any further to fall, just bounced down the sofa a bit.... 😵 In the words similar to that famous shark movie.... " you're gonna need a bigger pot of glue" 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♂️ The culverts were slightly beyond their useful days, going back in time to find out what you have found proved you correct!! The stonework wall was champion, couldn't do better myself!!!

[@vic745]

Good job Mike. I remember when you worked for Dirt Perfect

[@arkiefyler]

Hard to believe you learned so many skills in only 5 years with DP! Perhaps your Dad was in some kind of construction also! You are a real asset to DP and I think he is getting way more from you than the equipment loaning!! 😁

Noticed the C 130 flying along the river, go on you tube, type in Mach Loop Wales. Its a site that photographer's use to show what planes, be they RAF. USAF or Nato country's use for low flying in Wales. They are on the side of the valley, looking down onto the aircraft as they fly along. There will be some craft that you would not be familiar with.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Very interesting and entertaining job done very nicely. Love the views from that area. I saw the other day the Indiana area single winner has yet to claim the 1.3 billion ticket. With all the apparent shopping DP has been doing lately I was wondering how long he’s going to wait before claiming that winning ticket. He’s eventually going to have to admit it to Jenna. Definitely see the need to claim that workbench wherever you find a place for it. Wishing you and your family the best.

Already said many times you’re one of if not the hardest working man I know of Mike, now I realise you fit all of this work in ( excellent work as alway )as well as being a fireman 😳. A movie should be made about your life “ The man who NEVER stops “ sounds like a James Bond movie. You’re an inspiration and have my total respect even though you make me feel lazy ( and I work six days a week ) . You deserve all your successes and a minimum of a million subscribers. Best wishes mate, from Britain 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

Thank you for the kind words

[@royordway9157]

I laughed when you talked about who may have put the culvert in 10 years ago. I'm a carpenter in Maine who work for a company who owned 75% of the downtown buildings in Bath Maine. Bath has a very nice downtown filled with Mom-and-Pop stores. It is also very historic so the company a was always spending big bucks to bring the downtown back to where the historic committees felt it should be. I started with the company in February 1980 and a couple years later we started replacing the 1960s plate glass store front windows with wood sash divided light storefront windows. A lot of the sash were 10 or 12 feet tall and 4, 5, or 6 feet wide. It all depended on how to mull them together to make it look right. Anyway, after 25 years with the company and having some health issues I left and did some bucket list stuff. I returned to the company in 2012 after being asked many times by the family who owned the business. Now to my point, I was walking past a store and looked at the window sash that someone had built. I said, who the heck built that? Ooops, it was me 30 years before. At least the storefronts I rebuilt after that looked better. Learn from your mistakes and learn something new every day. At 66, I'm still pounding nails and learning.
