- This old barn was used as a gymnasium by an old school that no longer exists. Everyone says this old building can't be saved, but I'm going to do just that. Check it out!

For some reason one of the drone shots appears to have turned into a still image in the intro lol. Not sure what happened, but hopefully you "still" enjoy the video! Thanks for all the support and have a great rest of the week!
Thx for this note….i just finished the video and was coming here to ask about the drone shots. Other than the minor confusion (asked and answered), this was crystal clear on what you are planning and the steps you see taking initially. I’m no expert on what the steps involve but I do read people well and have a good sense (I call it my BS meter) for when someone is basically sound or freakin’ nuts. All I can say is that I’m on team Kleeman and believe in you. Let’s go!
You might want to consider doing a Y type bracing. This would keep the floor space clear of additional vertical post. Think of a traditional roof truss upside down attached to the existing center post. Use 3/4 plywood to make gussets to connect.
Yup, the drone footage is definitely stationary.😂🤙
@@richm487 I think the floor concern is factored into the long term plan. If your “Y” scenario is also factoring this in, kindly outline some major milestone steps that go along with it. Additionally, I’m sure he will be interested in looking at material viability for reuse (in comparison) because he is a big fan of stretching the dollar. Now that he has a dry space with easily separate areas, he will inventory but prefers parts that get better turnover.
@@richm487 it would also overload the central floor beam 👍
I work for a big civil engineering company in the UK, we manage major infrastructure projects. I can confirm that the quality and completeness of the technical drawings on this channel is greater than those we have access too. I'm excited for you and the opportunity's this building represents. Keep doing what you're doing fella.
Totally agree, just retired after working as an FM for 30yrs, I always dreaded taking over an older building as the plans were never updated when new wiring, pipework or structural changes were made. You'd spend at least a year finding out why and where changes were made, it's amazing how much stuff was done without any approvals whatsoever. 🤣😂
well that one was not very family friendly for a few seconds was it lol
You are very lucky to get this property. Exciting times ahead so you need to enjoy the journey. Cheers Steve
Captian to pull the concrete walls will take good cabling and good winches and proper wood or steel beams to hold every thing straight as you also slowly pull the tops in while also lifting the roof. My brother hired a man and his crew to do the same process on the 90 foot long x 44 foot tall x 45 feet to the peak of a barn built in the 1920's. It can be done with working slowly and listening to the building. Good luck and be safe. I enjoy your willingness to learn.
Cap’n congrats on your acquisition. It’s not the average TH-camr who can grow from a small town, middle American flyover farmstead, into an internationally recognized World Wide phenom… in just a few short years!!
I mean, looking back… who’d a thunk that a Country boy could leverage a tugboat shaped yacht in the forest into an Internationally recognized brand worthy of a headquarters the size of gymnasium???
I must confess, I did not see that coming!!!
Regardless, Cap’n I applaud your vision and wish you the best as you see it through to your dreams. Keep dreaming bud…. I’ll keep watching!!!
Very well said. It is inspiring to see all of these content providers do good. Especially those that provide content without being edgy, vulgar and mouthy.
If you don't need the full ceiling height, I'd recommend adding horizontal supports just below where it is failing now. I'd use cable and turnbuckles so that you could make adjustments over time.
On the plus side you probably will have this done quicker than …. Someone else’s stairs 😁 good job mike thanks for awesome content
Love the positive attitude and work ethic you bring, When you picked up that bell tower and found a way to make it into one of coolest pond side seats ever, I thought what else is this guy going to do ? Thank you for making these videos and Thank you for service in the Fire Dept.
I love your positivity and optimism! This is a cool old building; and it definitely captures my viewing interest more than tossing up a new structure. Instead of This Old House, it will be This Old Barn!
Reminds me of the old Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Tx. Back in the day, a great honkytonk! with Willie, Waylon and the Boys!
Good for you, Captain! Repairing/rebuilding/repurposing that is going to be quite a trip! But from what I've seen over the last few years of watching your channel, you most likely have all the skills, and if there are some you don't have yet, you'll figure it out. Thanks for sharing, take care.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Looking forward to seeing every step of this headquarters renovation. A large space to work indoors is an amazing thing to have access to. I took Masonry class while in high school and my teacher had a very unique structure for his projects at home. Prior to WW1 the town started to put in public sewers and when the war happened they paused the project. After the war when the project was restarted the concrete holding tank was no longer sized big enough and was abandoned in place. He grew up playing around it and knew it was there. When he was older and the property went up for sale it sold for a great price because it had this huge block of concrete on it. He snapped it up, hired an explosive expert and blew a hole in one end to put in a roll up door. He built all kinds of projects inside it that he would tell us about. The biggest I remember was he prebuilt a house inside it made to come apart for his camp. It was a huge indestructible space coming out of the side of a hill. He used to say it was so big it had its own weather system inside and he had to be careful when he threw the door open to not get blown over. Wishing you and your family the best.
I look forward to the growth of new World Wide Headquarters. I have had a similar experience what we did was to put straps around the main trusses which were hooked up to 5 ton come alongs. As we lifted as you will with bottle Jack's you also draw in the come alongs. When you achieve your lift the trusses are set. As a bonus you can leave the come alongs in place for extra support.
What an awesome project that you guys came across Mike! Sounds like this is going to help both you and DP. Can't wait to see the progress that happens with this building! Thank you for bringing us along on your adventure!!!
maby even using some cables and turn buckles could help some also
Any other person proposing this project I'd say is nuts! But you Captain, I have no doubt the Kleeman world Headquarters will be magnificent!
Concrete for the doorways; don't forget some footer concrete. 13:00 don't forget to add some structure in the basement to take on the load of the planned main room supports (you can't just jack that up and land it on a basketball floor)!
I absolutely love this new adventure! You always put a smile on my face! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! SAFE NEW YEAR!
Yeah it’s really good kid. So proud of him and his wife public servants who do inside line work making much more. Pretty awesome
Looking forward to the future of your world headquarters mike so much space for activities
Mike - I make sure my husband watches every episode. I want him to see what a real man is capable of…. 😉
Merry Christmas to y’all!
Glad you're growing. This project will be fun to watch come together. I live for your wacky, informative input. Onward we go.
Mike congrats on the start of the Kleeman world headquarters, you sure have the drive and determination to get the structure back in shape, best of luck and stay safe !!!
Thanks Mike, love your positive attitude and friendly nature 😊. What a great project…with a bit of sweat equity you’ll have a great space at a lot lower price than building new. The building does look like an upturned boat (minus the bow) so let the naming begin. My suggestion is Admiralty House. 😊
I thought the same, Ark of Derby! lol
MIKE. Stop for a second. You didn't make allowance for the concrete that needs to go below the ground for your buttresses. You know you've got to dig down to the frost line for a footer.
Now that that's out of the way, I guess we can sit back and enjoy watching you work for the next several years. Wish I was young enough to come and pitch in to help you. Have a great holiday.
SHE GOT THE BONES, HOPE ALL GOES WELL, IN TIME IT'LL BE QUITE A STRUCTURE, GOOD LUCK
27:00 Good plan! 90% would be awesome!! But it might take a year? Who knows? It will be interesting to follow. You could sell spots on a calendar to hit, say, 80%. Then send swag to the person closest. Make it fun, you always do!
Interesting build Mike. Almost thought you could turn the top floor into a workshop to work on your projects versus expanding the shed, funding multiple projects. Of course, you would have to strengthen the floor to allow vehicles on the top side. Also, I have seen a public building like this before and was wondering, instead of bracing the arches from top to bottom, adding addition posts in your open area, what about bracing the arches from side-to-side (Kind of like you see in framed roofs that are not prefabbed)? That way, you do not loose the space with permanent posts. Of course the bracing would prevent the arches from sagging side-to-side as well!
What about using cable and turn buckles to help pull the sides in and stop it from spreading out any farther just a suggestion I’m not their to see but I know in some old barns I’ve been in they have had that in them
I love these old, oddball buildings. I glad you are saving it.
Steve summers used that bottle jack technique for his shed. 🏴
Extra roof bracing might help but you really need something holding the walls from bulging any further. I’m not sure how the floor is attached to the walls, but it doesn’t seem to be providing this support.
Consider some cables running from wall to wall connected to steel running lengthwise on the outside of the wall.
Wow, Mike!!! This is going to be HUGE project, and I'll be coming along for the journey! Big thanks to DP for making this happen, and best wishes to you and your family for taking on this project. It's going to be AMAZING!!!
💪
Captain Kleemans World Headquarters. Heck yea.
Wow ,,I'm there with you Mike and Family ,,your videos are a light in this weird world. From Florida Merry Christmas.
They used to put steel rods between the floors with steel plates on the outside to tie the walls together .
The man has no fear! What a project!
Kinda hard to believe Dirt Perfect would let that gem go...
You know, one day you'll have something positive to say about my purchases, Wes. And it's a day I'll cherish forever.
@@CaptainKleeman I'm just jealous!
You might want to consider running steel cable between the walls. It’s not uncommon to find old buildings with steel bar tying the walls together.
It's definitely worth it man. You and the Admiral need more space and BAM there it is!!!
👍🇺🇲
20:30 "This is like the 'ran when parked' version of buildings" 😂😂😂
Capt'n, this is going to be quite a project. I have a suggestion to help stabilize the building. An interest of mine are bridges. This idea comes from tied arch suspension bridges. This is where the road deck is used under tension to hold the ends of the arch from spreading. My initial idea is to run a heavy rod through the floor beams at each buttress. Anchor each end to the outside of the wall with whatever you need to insure (Matt's favorite word) it doesn't pull through. In the center the ends are threaded so you can connect them with a large turnbuckle. This way you can adjust the tension. Your roof is the arch. The rods are the tensioning road deck. This way the arch can not spread at the bottom.
In the old paper mill building that has been repurposed into the city offices for my home town of Plainwell, MI, I have seen this used in the ceiling beams. If you want to come up and see for yourself, I would be glad to show you around the Island City of Plainwell.
Capt'n, ponder this idea and let me know what you think.
Boy Howdy, ya got me intrigued I'll leave it at that for now.
I'm behind you 100% captain, I will enjoy watching you accomplished another mission in your life !!!😊😊
Your enthusiasm and ambition are great to see. This is going to be a fantastic series of projects and I look forward to following along.
It’s the leaning gymnasium of Kleeman. Most would demolish it and build new. Not the captain. He’s sees the diamonds in the rough. I think it’s perfect for the channel.
Love your dream Captain.
This is gonna be fun!!! I can't wait. I love these projects you get yourself in to. Your videos make my day. Let's go Captain!!!!
Ok, that is one of the best purchases you could have made. In the future, working inside, actually have lights, electricity, a good work bench. You are going to get spoiled. But you deserve it. My wife and I absolutely love watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you sir!
I don't know too much about building structure and stuff like that but I do know that if you take the load off the top of the wall that wall may go back and then it would just be a matter of pulling the sides of the roof back together but before you set the roof back down on the wall yes you would want to reinforce the wall so it doesn't happen again but right there when the weight comes down on the wall That's the seems like so if you take the load off the wall and pull the sides of the roof back in then you'd be able to have a good building that would stand the test of time again it's just a thought I really enjoy your channel I like to things you do I like to comedy in it it really brightens my day when I see that you have posted a video so please keep keep up but like I said I ain't no construction engineering it's just what I've experienced through my life and what I've learned from my grandfather
Amazing project Capt, can’t wait to see your progress 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
This is awesome, can't wait to see everything start happening! Y'all take care.
Hi Mike. At four digits, that sounds like a good price for the building with the size that it is. At, "Or less", as you say it gets better. I hope this is as much fun for you as it will be for me watching you save the building. Have good days!
Top stuff Captain. Looking forward to the progress
This should be fun to watch Captain. Can't wait.
Good luck, Captain, and family. Can't wait to watch the progress. See you on the next video.
Another awesome project in the works! I'm excited as you are! Keep at it! Thanks for sharing.
I wish you nothing but the best of luck with this endeavor Captain, you’re sure gonna need it. Stay safe.
So exciting cap! Look forward to seeing what you do with it.
Very excited to see the process and the final product! Keep up the great job !
Love your thoughts on this undertaking. Maybe it's time to move the shop projects here and utilize the electric access?😊😅
Awesome, Mike and family. When you started dismantling the trucks, I mentioned that you needed warehouse space. Little did I know that you had already solved that problem. Well done!
You are a busy man!! Cannot wait to see the renovations begin!
Looking forward to all your videos. Great fun
Excited for this series. You're literally going in all directions on this channel!
Looking forward to see what you can do here. You have that can do attitude and have fun doing it. Enjoy seeing all the different projects, keep up the good work
Played a lot of ball in that old gym weekends and after school. Lot of memories. Didn’t realize how bad of shape it’s in. Hopefully you can make it last a few more decades.
Love the new digs!! Can't wait to see how this works out!!
Nice building Mike. I know you'll make it work Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year.
Exciting stuff Mike. This will be a major undertaking
Best of luck Mike and have a great at Christmas!!
Looks like a heck of a project. Looking forward to seeing it all. Merry Christmas Mike and all.
The future is bright and the possibilities are endless
Love your enthusiasm and drive to do what you have already accomplished
Looking forward to watching this “Ran when parked” building revival.
Congrats on the new building. This is the work I do and have passion for. Can't wait for this project. Stay safe
Brilliant CK, heck of a project.
Looking forward to watching the progress of this project!
With all the people that want new, old is the history of the town. In is worth fixing up. No matter what others say it's yours make it work for you.
Great preview of things to come. Protected space to grow is critical to any expansion.
Congrats on getting (saving) the gym from decay and obliteration.
Looking forward to the roof raising, sounds like a major task.
Thanks for sharing.
Excited about your channel thanks!
Hey Cap, look into putting in angle supports.should be able to carry the snow load to those center 6x6s just a thought.
Good morning sunshine! Wow thats gonna be an awesome building/shop! Cant wait to see how your going to fix it up! Love your positive attitude sooo much! Much love from Henderson Ga USA
Congrats Mike! So excited for you! keep up the hard work
So much room for activities. Lots of work ahead, great to see you saving this old building.
I love this project!! It is so on-brand for you. I love the idea of working with what you have and making do with brains and sweat. Bravo!!!
Cool stuff. Looking forward to seeing some building refab! Great video. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Congrats.. and Good Luck, hoping this all works out for you. Can't wait to see how it progresses. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Really looking forward to the rebuild of the gym and it’s awesome how you guys are working together and helping each other go forward. I understand money has to change hands but “mates rates” certainly helps.
Congrats on the new HQ! Looking forward to seeing the progress.
Hay, Mike! It's great to see the vision! Noting ventured. Nothing gained! Looking forward to the next installment!
If enthusiasm counts it is as good as done. Congrats. Merry Christmas to you and the crew.
Nothing better than a hard working dude with a vision. Much respect!
It appears to have a view of the river!! Location, Location, Location!
It does!
Really happy to hear about your growing
My idea, the gym looks big enough for 2 stories. Build 2 stories inside reinforce the roof to that framework. Boom all the space you need.
But...but then I can't play basketball Steve 🤣
Awesome purchase! The investment for the channel is well worth it. I have no doubt you’ll make it perfect to work in and store current and future projects. 👍
This is going to make some great content and am looking forward to watching you do your magic.😊
You need to go to the city and look for some plans cause they’re bound to be some plans drawn up.
Hey Mike, You is one crazy dude! But certainly fun to watch! This should be pretty exciting! Thumbs up! Stay safe! Jim
Life is growing! Thumbs up 👍 for bringing us along. 😊
Appreciate all the support!
How exciting! This is going to be a great project to watch.
Looking forward to ALL your projects
Awesome 🎉❤. Love following your adventures ❤❤
