If I was a local timber supplier I’d sponsor every bit of material you need. Where are they gonna get a more positive full on youtuber than you? You’re awesome! Love your work.
I think we should all just agree that the Captain has determined the floor will not support the weight of the JLG man lift. Carry on. lol I’m more of a Festivus kinda guy but, Merry Christmas everyone
Yes they are my grandpa uncle help establish ours. We call them R E C‘s rule electric cooperatives. My Great uncle Help established the feeder to the co-ops
I've said it before, I'll say it again! You're one of the bravest men I know! Great video! I can relate somewhat, to what you are doing. I jacked a 16x16 two story log cabin up. Put two new logs on the bottom. Then jacked it back down and slide the whole cabin 16 feet north, jacked it back up again and put a new hand-hewn barn stone stone foundation under it. 16" x 20" x 40" long, stones. Then jacked the cabin down on it. Tedious, time consuming work, just like you're doing. Be safe my friend! Thanks Mike! Lee
Interesting set up and process, for a one man operation on a shoe string, I like it sir, it should work well. My grandfather used to Jack up old two story houses off of stone wall basements or sometimes off of stone foundations, no basement, so they could put in masonry walls. He would get these big heavy screw jacks cribbed up under the house and it took a long time to raise the house because he would only turn each Jack a quarter of turn every other day so they wouldn’t crack the plaster walls, or break the framing. Thanks for the Christmas video sir.
Sounds like you bought yourself a genuine piece of local history! The building needs some work, but it shouldn't be nearly as much as if you were starting from scratch. Working by yourself is dangerous but it looks like you are taking as many precautions as possible. That hard hat is a real plus! Merry Christmas, Mike!
I am so impressed Captain, did much the same thing myself a few times !! Glad you are careful not to fall, someone said. “The fall is not bad, but the stop at the bottom is !!”…
That's a lot of work, coupled with all the ups and downs on the ladder. After a life of doing it, it's nice to sit in a comfortable chair and watch others do it. Thanks 👍
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.. This old Barn to Repair a great Challenge and the new Dream from You.!!! The Roof a leaky Impression. This all to Repair a long long Work 😮
Im sure alot of people will appreciate the hard hat. Safety first. Cause if you fall from that height. The hardhat is really gonna help. Lol. You're Doing some very unique things.
Merry Christmas Mike to you and your family. It’s amazing the projects you’re willing to take on alone but you prove that some common sense and a little precaution can make it all happen. You plan to slowly raise everything once your beams are all in place is the wise thing to do. Afterall it tool 100 years for it to sag like it is now so you need to slowly push everything back to where it was originally. Adding some collar ties and some “real” load bearing walls will allow everything to last another 100 years.
Yup. Also I appreciate that you understand this is a process and has to happen in a certain order. Some others are missing that. Lol. Thanks for all the support over the years sir.
This barn series is facinating. I wish I would have watched them in order and I would have better understood what is happening. It all looks very doable and makes sense.
If you had a man lift, life on ladders would be obsolete….. wonder what you could trade for renting one 😂. You are doing amazing work, and Happy Happy Joy Joy! You might take tomorrow off and play with your family. I have wired hundreds of panel boxes, and buying a current model was the most cost effective way of going, old breakers are just that, and you deserve modern (inexpensive) equipment for your new workshop. Good practice for long haul.
You truly are a one man crew! I wish you had one of DP’s lifts there, that would have helped you immensely! Then of course we would have missed out on your engineering process!! Truly a jack of all trades!
14 years ago I dismantled, moved and rebuilt a 16x24 building, mostly by myself. I had 2 guys helping to cut it into sections to move it, and I had help setting the ridge beam and one gable end during the rebuild. Somehow this seems more ambitious.
Looks like you already have some lights up against the ceiling, that’s going to be nice for you to work in the gym and getting the roof jacks up Mike! You sure have some good ideas when it comes to lifting the beams up against the roof rafters! Great Mike, lights to work by! Strengthen and brace the roof! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Up the letters with the first board, don’t let it back down. Take more open tight it up in a static position just leave it up there. Then go about figuring out what rigging you need to make adjustments. I’ve been watching you, and you are a very competent rigger .
I've been thinkin of the basketball segment from your last video, and how it is the embodiment of your approach to things. Supplies: flat ball, dark court with stuff stored on part of it Skills: basic knowledge that the ball should go though the hoop, life experience, minimal training Video: let it roll, imprefections and all End result: that was fun, did something a little bit new, no regrets, moving on I feel like many people wait for everything to be ready for "success" before they jump in, and if they aren't expecting success, they avoid or at least practice off camera. Your approach to this raising of the roof also has imperfect tools for what might be "ideal," maybe less training than some people would want to have....in other words, a million ways the average person could make excuses for not starting. But you do a great job of trading "potential perfect" some time in the future for "present progress" and getting things done now that work toward the end goal. Kudos to you for working with the brains and tools you've got, and letting that camera roll as you go. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
I can already hear the comments, “I can’t believe he’s running screws into that beautiful old floor” props on the new project, it looks to be a treasure chest of content. I still wanna see a hydraulic thumb on the triple nickel. Merry Christmas
Like, always thank you for putting a smile on my face when you post. I really hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. 😊
Hello Mike. You may have forgotten to tell us that you are also a structural engineer, but it shows. This is a fun project for some of us. Have good days!
Mike the Egyptians called and they want their Hydraulics back, sorry but you did tell them you would only need them for the week, Thanks Mike for giving us something good to watch for Christmas day, hope you and your family have a great one.
Steve Summers had to do the same exact roof jacking method. To fix his shopfrom collapesing. Do to a cinder block wall was falling away to the out side near a deep creek bank. Took him almost a year.
Those truss design amazes me how things were built 50-100yrs ago and still standing today thru all the weather events of the past but with all the codes/standards of today and roofs fly off and walls blow out during a big wind storm. Thats exactly what happened right beside a building that the county wouldnt allow my cousin to remodel because they deemed it unsafe to occupy but his less than 2yr old house lost half its roof and blew the bathroom/storm shelter wall out during a storm with 40mph gusts. Back stories to property is always some good stories
I hope you consulted an engineer or architect about your support work. your building is designed as a series of wooden arches supporting a metal shell. Pushing on an arch from the inside may actually make things weaker. Keeping water off the wood is the main thing with keeping that building strong..
Always nice to have a Captain Kleeman episode to pop up in my feed. Even better on Christmas day. Captain. On multiple board structural beams screws are way better than nails. Over time due to flexing nails can pull out. Screws won't. My dad had to add some like your doing to the roof of our garage that was originally a carriage barn with a hay loft on all 4 sides and a multi stacked board center beam front to back in the middle. The nails in it had backed out some and there was so much crappack in between them they wouldn't go back together without way to much work so my Dad just put 3 each 2 X 12 boards screweed together on each side and jacked them up with verticle supports exactly like your doing with bottle jacks at each end screwed to the back wall. The front where the garage door was he installed an I beam he bought from a scrap yard above the door and under the bottom of the front hay loft. The house and garage were 100 hundred years old when we moved in in 1960. You wouldn't believe how hard oak that old can get over time. We went thru a lot of saw blades and drill bits. Each screw we had to predrill screw holes. We had to do it become someone in the past had drilled holes thru the beam to run electrical wire for lights when they installed electric service in the very early 20th century. The house still had top and bottom push button light switches when we moved in. I spent a lot of my out of school time with my dad and 2 older brothers rebuilding that house and garage. The main center 1st floor support beam in the basement was even worse than the garage beam. It was one solid 20 inch X 20 inch oak beam with way to many holes drilled thru it. It's fun retrofitting the roofs of old buildings trying to fall in. Ooh,Merry Christmas to you and your family Captain.
$200 for a main breaker or $94 for a complete breaker box. Doesn't take a math whiz to figure out which is a better option. At least that way everything is new, and you don't have to worry about the old stuff. The nice thing about those supports is you will be able to slowly lift the roof back up to its original position and put in better roof supports to lock it in place. Just might even pull that wall back into its original position! Love it when people take on the challenge to save history!
What an "uplifting" moment! 🤣 Thank you for sharing your new journey here in the gym....should be another interesting chapter in the Kleeman Kronicles. Merry Christmas
Mike, so glad you are taking precautions with that ladder work. I had a ladder slip out from under me about 15 years ago and ended up in surgery to put my foot back together. Spent 3 months in a wheelchair to ponder my mistake. This is an exciting project. You have the dump truck, the building and the bridge for us to look forward to. Great channel! Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas.
MIKE, you sure are gonna get 'shoulda-woulda-coulda' comments but I know that you know what yer doing. Definitely helps the algorithms for ya! Merry Christmas! 🎄 (Love the 'ladder locks' idea! smart!!!) Carry on Capt'n!

Same to you Mike! This building has got to be exciting for you and I’m looking forward to the content from it.
Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family an friends
Merry christmas mike
Merry Christmas Captain and Crew!
You are watching the most ambitious human on earth. The projects he embarks upon seem exceedingly daunting.
The Captain is way out of my league but I was shoveling and hauling cow manure this morning and looked good doing it. lol
So how do you coat (or re-coat) that roof?? That is a steep angle
The best way to fix saggy buildings is slowly and and carefully. It didn't happen quickly and it sure won't like it if you rush it. 😍
If I was a local timber supplier I’d sponsor every bit of material you need. Where are they gonna get a more positive full on youtuber than you? You’re awesome! Love your work.
I can’t think of a more perfect place to hold KleemanFest 2024 like a group of us joked about a few months ago.
🤣 bring a waiver
Season Greetings Capt 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
I think we should all just agree that the Captain has determined the floor will not support the weight of the JLG man lift. Carry on. lol
I’m more of a Festivus kinda guy but, Merry Christmas everyone
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. It will be interesting watching your progress on the "Kleeman World Headquarters". Hoping all goes smoothly and SAFELY.
I would like to say you did a very commendable job on that rigging for putting them beams in place on your own you deserve a pat on the back.
merry Christmas …capt and family
Electric Co-OOPs are the best. Merry Christmas from Mission, TX. 🌴
Absolutely!
Yes they are my grandpa uncle help establish ours.
We call them R E C‘s rule electric cooperatives.
My Great uncle Help established the feeder to the co-ops
Your electrical co-op is FAST! thats awesome. Would you mind sending some of your motivation in my direction? I could use it! LOL.
Merry Christmas Mike! God bless you and your family!
Merry Christmas, Captain Kleeman and family. And don't forget the furbabies either. 😅😅😊😊

Merry Christmas Mike and family.
I never believed the pyramids were built by hard work and determination until i saw Kleeman working. Watching this video shows you can do anything
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Stay Safe and God Bless.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Kleeman family.

I am so impressed Captain, did much the same thing myself a few times !! Glad you are careful not to fall, someone said. “The fall is not bad, but the stop at the bottom is !!”…
Merry Christmas bud!
Impressive shoring Mike.
The hardhat was a nice touch. Keeps them at bay a little. Merry Christmas.
Merry and Blessed Christmas to your whole family. :)
From me and mine to you and yours, Merry Christmas Captain.
Merry Christmas captain & to ur family
Thanks for the Christmas present Captain.
That's a lot of work, coupled with all the ups and downs on the ladder.
After a life of doing it, it's nice to sit in a comfortable chair and watch others do it.
Thanks 👍

Im sure alot of people will appreciate the hard hat. Safety first. Cause if you fall from that height. The hardhat is really gonna help. Lol. You're Doing some very unique things.
Hard hat is for stuffing falling on me, not the the other way around. 👍
I wish I was closer so I could help. These projects are always fun. Great job. Stay safe
Compliments of the season, Mike and Family.
Merry Christmas Mike to you and your family.

Yup. Also I appreciate that you understand this is a process and has to happen in a certain order. Some others are missing that. Lol. Thanks for all the support over the years sir.
Some cable and pulley collar ties might help to lift it too.
Merry Christmas Mike, Chelsey and girls.
I asked God to assist you and keep you safe. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Mike.
Merry Christmas, Mike!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
My gosh Mike, a lot of expenditure there. Great start. It’s going to be so goooooooos. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Captain definitely needs a scissor lift now that he has the power to charge it every night.
Merry Christmas to you and family from wv
Looking good Capt’n! I appreciate how carefully you are approaching this massive project!
It's 8:00 eastern time I hope you had a Merry Christmas and thank you for bringing that old structure back to life.....❤...JJ...😊
Interesting thanks for sharing Merry Christmas 🌲🎄🌲❤️🦃😅😅😅
This barn series is facinating. I wish I would have watched them in order and I would have better understood what is happening. It all looks very doable and makes sense.
Appreciate ya watching!
So great to see this on Christmas Day, bless your family and friends, I really love your enthusiasm. You’re doing a great job on that roof section!
If you had a man lift, life on ladders would be obsolete….. wonder what you could trade for renting one 😂. You are doing amazing work, and Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Mike you are a wonder. The energizer bunny’s got nuthin’ on you! Awesome channel, and love your positive energy. Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you for the support!
You truly are a one man crew! I wish you had one of DP’s lifts there, that would have helped you immensely! Then of course we would have missed out on your engineering process!! Truly a jack of all trades!
He doesn't have any lifts that would be beneficial on this. Appreciate ya watching
