One thing for sure, the upper part of the road is going to be compacted pretty decent with driving the loaded truck over it as much as you did. Nice to have a project completed and off the list, you are making progress, every little bit helps achieve the long term goal. Thanks for the update, enjoy watching.
It's kind of like watching those old movies as a kid, "will he make it, or will the truck tip over on that steep hill? Tune in next time." Thanks for the entertainment this morning Captain, take care.
Fantastic to see your access road completed !! Definitely worth biting the bullet and diverting funds to the road, now it will have the winter to settle down. You have some fantastic scenery in your area, pleased we are able to share it, we just have to keep a better hold on the camera to really appreciate all the views 😂😎
On DP's channel the other day I said, "Clint did Mike a Large on finding the Mach!" It's a beast! And, you're right, I never would have imagined a tri-axil back at the Plunge Pool! Great video and you are blessed to have someone like DP to lean on - in doing your projects. Great video. Thanks Mike! Lee
I think Capt Kleeman needs to add a disclaimer at the beginning of his videos *No cameras were harmed in making this content* Although thinking about it.......he's likely to get sued for telling porkies 🤣🤣
I think you'll enjoy that road being done come spring time when you want to get the pool done. Getting the 555 in and out of there will be a touch less sketchy! haha Nice work as always my friend.
I'd never thought last year you would be able to get a dump truck to the bridge. Not only was the road narrow but very muddy and steep. You built an interstate hyway, Mike. Great job, and I'm happy for you.
Good work Captain. Nice road you built, pretty cool the dumper made it back there. My dad worked for JICase for 27 years back in the day when all the machines were made in Racine Wisconsin. It's good to see you are liking one of their machines so much. I saw one of the original Case cars, it had JICase in the tread of the tires.
Finishing the road was the best choice, Cpt. It will make it so much more reliable for you to get stuff down to the pool project. That road is so steep that any rain made it almost impossible to get equipment up and down safely, at least you won't be fighting the mud after every shower now.
Goodmorning Mike, that turned out great! Good call on finishing the road first in my opinion. I think it'll make the rest of the work there that much more efficient, and you mitigated a bit of the rain/mud sketch factor for maneuvering equipment and materials to the pool. I wish we had that chert rock here! I really like the way it looks and works! Have a great one!!
Awesome video! I really enjoyed laying the chirt down. One thing completed. The color of the stone is wonderful. Thank you for sharing, I can hardly wait until the next video. 😊❤
Capt'n Kleeman, you are getting mighty bold with the tri-axle Enterprise! Now you need to get one of DP's rollers and have fun packing the rock in. That is if it will climb the grades. That is a worry! Keep going my friend! You have made so much progress this year.
Not sure it would climb the grade, once it is packed, but they don't like loose material, which is wild considering that's the whole problem they are designed to solve lol
Mike, if you want us to do all this watching and guiding and camera knocking over prevention alerting and catching equipment on steep hills etc., you’d better get us some walkie talkies because it’s quite obvious that you can’t hear us yelling at you 😂
Good morning sunshine! Maplur? I don't think we have those in Ga! Lol! You got me laughing right off the bat! That's why I love your videos! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA
Road to the plunge pool is looking great, but if your worried about the budget, I know a project, I believe it is in its 6 year in the making and if finished, would be raking in the extra funding (retirement funds, but funds)! 😁😁😁😁 On your question, yes, it is worth it. It's like renting a car on vacation, only when you need it (Helps with your CDL)! And, it save's a ton of money on maintenance repairs. Plus, you get an automatic compactor without renting one! 👍👍
Looks great Mike, thank you for going to all the extra work to make a video for us to see. I can't imagine all the effort it must take you. JeffinMaine
Now that’s a nice solid road to travel on. I’m betting that the triple nickel doesn’t get stuck anymore - well not on the road anyway. Stay safe Captain.
Where I live a lot of people use them for grills and they throw wood in there when it all burns down into hot coals they put the grids in it and then they use that cook like chicken for the fire department and fundraisers for Boy Scouts. Just things like that.
14 loads with the tri-axle, 50 loads or so with the single axle, and definitely over 100 loads with a pickup. Can you imagine doing this with the side by side?????🤔 Having the right equipment makes such a big difference.👌 Thanks DP.😉 Captain... There sure are a lot of shiny bits on that tri-axle that never went missing or anything.🤙
Hi Mike. Now, if a fella had a bit of spare change he might rent DP's 'Tacco' and grader attachment and really finish the road off with a nice crown. By the time all the highs and lows are smoothed out and the edges pulled in you would probabnly gain quite a few more yards of road. Job done, in time before the next rain turns it to concrete, and looking like a million dollars. Just a sayin if'n ya know what I mean. Great video as usual. Cheers from down under🇦🇺😀
Hay, mike, look forward to each and every episode by you, outstanding work ethic & a great creator of comen sence,,, unlike most other utubers, sir you are a good human,,, AUS viewer, if you're ever in Australia, hit me up,
Nice bit a road building there, definitely better than some of the roads where I live in the UK. When the plung pool is done are you going to open it with a party, can just imagine DP, MBT's and NYA Millennial all there with there kids as well. Mind you it might be a little tio deep for MBT's. 🤣😂👍
great progress on this project, and it's always difficult to decide which project gets the money first when all the projects are exiting,great video Mike 👍👍👍👍👍
Finishing the road was definitely the right decision, good access makes everything else go faster and safer and more efficient, even if it doesn’t have the WOW factor the shelter house will.
Hi Mike. As a fellow hoarder, I have to say that those tin panels look way too useful to be rotting away in the woods. Glad you were able to rescue them from certain destruction. I thought of several things that old fuel tank could be used for too. A giant barbeque was one idea, although it might not exactly be very practical.
Mike- about old fuel tank…I recently acquired two of them, first was de-sided into a medium burn barrel ( replaced dryer drum) to eliminate branches in a contained area where big open fire could be disastrous, side retained and supplemented by the second drum, almost new (!) for repair of backhoe buckets that have gotten thin😅. Free metal! And my auto tow and repair shop has been notified that leaf springs are requested to repair said buckets ( which were purchased from them). Creative replenishment of expensive supplies. 😊
I’ve seen many charcoal grills made out of the old fuel oil tanks. I actually made a wood burning stove out of one by building a steel box inside and adding a blower on the opposite end of the door and tied it into my home’s ductwork. I used it for several years until free wood was getting hard to come by. Back to the grill though, you could use it for big family gatherings and rent it out when not using it by mounting it on a trailer.
Kleeman Khronikles kontinue....your chirtin' along purdy good there Bud. Good to see the road work being done, should be immensely helpful in being able to get more materials to the pool project site. Now the World Headquarters and the Admiral might just give you the employee of the week award. Great channel, great content.
I’d love to see a piece of demo equipment on this channel, but the make do and mend attitude is part of your charm. Keep up the great work. Pour one out for that last remaining camera.
Definitely was the better choice to finish the road over the shelter house. Since we’re getting into fall/winter the shelter house probably won’t be used similar to the pool not being used but in springtime you will appreciate a hard packed established road instead of sloshing around in the mud.
Kleiman you bay the case. Then you don't need to borrow an escalator. you'll have a brand new one. It will do everything you can do with the little one. You can probably even put a little mini blade on it. Keep it up your videos look good. word of a vice. Don't break no more Cameras. I hope life is treating you and your family good.
I was watching the history Channel last week, DP was running and cussing about the 304.... I said to sell it to you! I got grinning face emoji from him! Lol 😂😂😂
In my honest opinion, since I'm one of those multiple project people lol, I think as much as you have to struggle to use that road I'd finish it. Making it safer to maneuver. We've all seen the struggle when that road gets wet even just a little bit. Making it safer and easier would make it more efficient or at least that's how the mind wants to process it lol. It may put the other project off for a minute but there are enough pros over the cons to justify it.
I was happy that you were able to “rob Peter to pay Paul” as they say and keep going to the end of the chert goal (with a pile to boot). As others have commented, you were getting some good compaction on your work just by the tri-axle traveling and some blades with the 304. If you ever get JD 755 back to action, your homemade planer/grader will fine tune it.
I think finishing the road was the right decision. It had to be done eventually, and you want it to be done this season. That bit of infrastructure is more important than the shelter house, imo. It will pay dividends in the future. The construction of the pool and shelter house will be more efficient, saving time, money, and frustration.
This looks way more enjoyable than what I do everyday. At least I can live vicariously through you
One thing for sure, the upper part of the road is going to be compacted pretty decent with driving the loaded truck over it as much as you did.

Always a good morning when there’s a new video from captain.
Owning the excavator is a real game changer for you to make your dream come true. A lot of expense but it will pay for itself. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic to see your access road completed !!
Definitely worth biting the bullet and diverting funds to the road, now it will have the winter to settle down.
You have some fantastic scenery in your area, pleased we are able to share it, we just have to keep a better hold on the camera to really appreciate all the views 😂😎
Lol
Smart to get the road in. One thing off the list.
On DP's channel the other day I said, "Clint did Mike a Large on finding the Mach!" It's a beast! And, you're right, I never would have imagined a tri-axil back at the Plunge Pool! Great video and you are blessed to have someone like DP to lean on - in doing your projects. Great video. Thanks Mike! Lee
Definitely a capable truck
Nothing like starting the week off with the captain and a hot cup of coffee on a Monday morning
💪
As subscribers, we had just one job! Stand and watch and we kept falling. Clumsy us! Don’t ever ask us to hold the flashlight for you!!
I know what makes it worse is, that I am tea total so I don't have the excuse of being a little tipsy. 😂🤣👍
@@everestyeti me too!
😂
Thanks for the video Captain.
Cant go wrong with a good road build..nice job bud
Logger wade has a beautiful view at his place for sure! And the swimming hole is going to be nice next summer.
💪
Down to one camera? This is the BEST channel for camera abuse! At least DP's truck is still i one piece...!
I think Capt Kleeman needs to add a disclaimer at the beginning of his videos
*No cameras were harmed in making this content*
Although thinking about it.......he's likely to get sued for telling porkies 🤣🤣
Give him a minute.. he's got a certain reputation lol
Thank U from the deepest parts of my soul for deciding to finish the road...... My OCD was screaming 😱🙀😱 while you were deciding 😂😂
😂
I enjoy looking at the layers in rocks as well. Each one gets deposited in a different way under different circumstances which tells a story.
It's a cool thing for sure
I think you'll enjoy that road being done come spring time when you want to get the pool done. Getting the 555 in and out of there will be a touch less sketchy! haha Nice work as always my friend.
Oh absolutely.
I'd never thought last year you would be able to get a dump truck to the bridge. Not only was the road narrow but very muddy and steep. You built an interstate hyway, Mike. Great job, and I'm happy for you.
Progress for sure!

Exactly!
Nice to see more roads built in your woods. Looking great. Wishing you and your family the best.
Thanks tom!
Awesome road building there Mike. Yes, it's worth having the right equipment to get it done right.
Absolutely
The 304 is gonna turn out to be your best investment for the homestead yet! 💯 Thanks for sharing Cap!
Hope so!
That was a great video. Enjoy seeing the progress. Thanks Mike. Stay safe
Awesome job Mike I can’t wait for the next episode.
💪
Heck yeah! Pumpkin patch day! And a corn maze and goats to boot. A fellow could have a good time doing that with his kiddos. 😺
Absolutely! It was a good time for sure
Excellent job Captain. You are doing a great job. Thanks Dirt Perfect in your help with this project.
Goodmorning Mike, that turned out great! Good call on finishing the road first in my opinion. I think it'll make the rest of the work there that much more efficient, and you mitigated a bit of the rain/mud sketch factor for maneuvering equipment and materials to the pool. I wish we had that chert rock here! I really like the way it looks and works! Have a great one!!
Definitely fortunate to have it available
👍🏻👍🏻another awesome video Captain. 🤛🏻🤛🏻
Thanks!
Captain great video! You’re getting it done! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Appreciate ya watching Kevin
Given how much slipping and sliding you did with the 555 on that hill, I think getting that road finished is well worth breaking the budget a little.
I agree
But slipping and sliding makes better content.😀
DP, thanks for letting the Captain rent out your machines.❤ good video, Capt.👌
It's good that you were able to read our minds and got that road done. I'm glad you are unable to read our minds everytime you knock us over.
😂😂
Nice video Captain,,,from Florida happy pumpkin patch day,hope the family has some fun.
Glad you got to demo the 140. Must have been a real treat to run a mint out the box machine.
It's pretty different from what I'm used to running. Lol
Good Morning Captain!!
Awesome job today!!
Stay Safe Brother.
Thanks!
Awesome video! I really enjoyed laying the chirt down. One thing completed. The color of the stone is wonderful. Thank you for sharing, I can hardly wait until the next video. 😊❤
Yep, Know it when I heard it This was going to be some good Captain watching. Looking better all the time Mike.
Slow but steady!
Hey u finding and brush cutting that foundation was one of the first videos of urs I watched 😮u have come a long way👍top job 👌
Thanks!
Good morning Mike
It's so nice to have the excavator for you. Makes easy work of the trees to make your road.
Absolutely
Great job Mike great video thanks
Congrats on getting the road finished. As always, thanks for sharing.
💪
You are very smooth on the Case 140. Looking good, Captain. 👍
Thanks!
great road building, has to be great to have a good friend like Dirt Perfect
Capt'n Kleeman, you are getting mighty bold with the tri-axle Enterprise!
Now you need to get one of DP's rollers and have fun packing the rock in. That is if it will climb the grades. That is a worry!
Keep going my friend! You have made so much progress this year.
Not sure it would climb the grade, once it is packed, but they don't like loose material, which is wild considering that's the whole problem they are designed to solve lol
We like looking at the scenery
Mike, if you want us to do all this watching and guiding and camera knocking over prevention alerting and catching equipment on steep hills etc., you’d better get us some walkie talkies because it’s quite obvious that you can’t hear us yelling at you 😂
All that backing time hindered your load count, but you did great. Not stuck to bad. Nothing broken, that we know about. Success is what we call it.
💪
And I thought I have a lot of ongoing projects. Forget about it. ❤
Good morning sunshine! Maplur? I don't think we have those in Ga! Lol! You got me laughing right off the bat! That's why I love your videos! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA
Hey Mike, rock ‘n’ roll. The road is looking good.

Like the video Cap, your going to have good roads man .
Thanks!
Now that’s a nice solid road to travel on. I’m betting that the triple nickel doesn’t get stuck anymore - well not on the road anyway. Stay safe Captain.
Fingers crossed!
Hi Mike & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mike & Friends Randy
Your road is looking Amazing Mike, that’s gonna really help out, getting to your plunge pool, and your big Pond❤❤😎😎👌👌🙏🙏🍮🍮
Love the DIY sound effects…..😂🤣
Mike hear me out. With your welding skills and a little fabrication the fuel oil tank can make a great smoker for marketplace profit. Just a thought.
Where I live a lot of people use them for grills and they throw wood in there when it all burns down into hot coals they put the grids in it and then they use that cook like chicken for the fire department and fundraisers for Boy Scouts. Just things like that.

Great video as usual. Cheers from down under🇦🇺😀
I can run that gradient attachment on the front of the backhoe with my auxiliary hydraulics that I put on. It might be worth trying
Hay, mike, look forward to each and every episode by you, outstanding work ethic & a great creator of comen sence,,, unlike most other utubers, sir you are a good human,,, AUS viewer, if you're ever in Australia, hit me up,
DP captain 👩✈️ says thanks for use of your equipment Captain know what he doing I think lol the road to the plunge pool looks awesome as always 👍👋🇨🇦
Do whatever makes the most sense in order of operation..👍🏼 base rock or shelter house .. excited for that shelter house though
With all the fog this morning hiding the view, I would just say it all looks fine and just go back home and call it a day😊
Nice bit a road building there, definitely better than some of the roads where I live in the UK. When the plung pool is done are you going to open it with a party, can just imagine DP, MBT's and NYA Millennial all there with there kids as well. Mind you it might be a little tio deep for MBT's. 🤣😂👍
😂😂 I'll get him a life ring
great progress on this project, and it's always difficult to decide which project gets the money first when all the projects are exiting,great video Mike 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Finish road feels good Captain!!💪 Don’t go waking up Loggers Wade cows in the early morning hours 😂😂 Great stuff going on!!🤗🇺🇸
Lol appreciate ya watching
Loved this episode, great to see those roads topped off and hopefully you can will be able to use the roads in the winter.
💪
Finishing the road was definitely the right decision, good access makes everything else go faster and safer and more efficient, even if it doesn’t have the WOW factor the shelter house will.

Love another Captain Kleeman one liner you guys have to behave because I only have 1 camera. Looks great

Definitely worth having on to just for the metal
I’ve seen many charcoal grills made out of the old fuel oil tanks. I actually made a wood burning stove out of one by building a steel box inside and adding a blower on the opposite end of the door and tied it into my home’s ductwork. I used it for several years until free wood was getting hard to come by. Back to the grill though, you could use it for big family gatherings and rent it out when not using it by mounting it on a trailer.
This was a good one Mike, you did wonderful work with that tri axle!
Thanks!

😂😂
Those old tanks make good pet houses.
Aw Cap’n, I felt that one, again. Camera abuse is real! LOL
On the camera situation “you got to spend money to make money”😂😂😂
Very true
Looking like a real professional with the dump truck.
💪
About the old fuel tank - why not mount it against your present workshop and use it as a diesel storage tank.
Get it when it's available and the weather is about as good as it can get for road building !
💪
Definitely was the better choice to finish the road over the shelter house. Since we’re getting into fall/winter the shelter house probably won’t be used similar to the pool not being used but in springtime you will appreciate a hard packed established road instead of sloshing around in the mud.

My grandparents used to live on the Illinois river in Illinois. When i was young we would hunt got those but we called them indian beads
This reminds me of a song: Red Dirt Road. However I never thought Indiana when I heard that song before now..
Lol
I was watching the history Channel last week, DP was running and cussing about the 304.... I said to sell it to you!
I got grinning face emoji from him! Lol 😂😂😂
😂
I'm glad that I could [squirrel!] be of some use today. Take care [squirrel!] Captain.....
💪

It may put the other project off for a minute but there are enough pros over the cons to justify it.
Want to add, i did finish the video and you did finish the road, but im familiar with the thought process, and thought I'd share my thoughts on it.
Lol I appreciate it!
I think it’s awesome. It’s gonna be so nice to see how it’s done. I’ll stop by when you get the project finished just kidding.
I was happy that you were able to “rob Peter to pay Paul” as they say and keep going to the end of the chert goal (with a pile to boot). As others have commented, you were getting some good compaction on your work just by the tri-axle traveling and some blades with the 304.

Oh absolutely. Would be the perfect tool to finish it off
I think finishing the road was the right decision. It had to be done eventually, and you want it to be done this season. That bit of infrastructure is more important than the shelter house, imo.

100%
Got it looking awesome Capt
Thanks!
More progress a man on a mission.
Looking great
Great choice on finishing the road. Peace of mind.. IMHO 😉
Absolutely
Nice,road is taking shape,your vision is getting closer and closer.great video as always.just keep doing your thing and carry on.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Your camera angles are great.
Thanks!
