I like it. I like your ethics to fix the exhaust pipe. I know Dirt Perfect will be happy. You remind me of why I like homesteading. Thanks for sharing and God bless
I’m glad that you are in debt to DP on the hour exchange bc I like to watch your maintenance and repair videos….a lot!. It also thrills me to see two people perform an exchange of services where “one hand washes the other”. Seeing Mike through your eyes is much more appealing than the blustery/bossy way he oftentimes comes off on his own videos (he seems to be improving there too). It is clear that he is a giving person that deserves your appreciation.
You look pretty good running the dozer. I think you learn more from observation than from the book. You are a fast learner and a fine example to you family and kids, instead of doing one thing great you do many things well. "Jack of all trades master of none" You can't help it that you have a special hate for mirrors and exhaust stacks. But you have a great love of life, family, friends, and new experiences. Love your videos working with family, sure you can finish it faster. But, enjoy the pride you get from their accomplishments and later it will fill many if hours of joy and memories. Be good, be happy, and be safe and looking forward to the next one.
The finished project is excellent. You are doing good with these projects. Jerry or even Mike started out as your doing time and experience will only make your projects even better. Thanks for sharing
I like how it looks. I am sure your family and Gary's people will really enjoy this area for years to come. Great documentary on a families pond build. TY, much enjoyed!
I wait ever Thursday and Sunday for your videos.. I love your content.. I literally watch maybe 5 other channels but you and junkyard digs are my two main. 🤘
Atta Boy Mike. Can't wait to see it when the grass is grown. Think about some seaweed solution for the trees you want to save. It is a great tonic. No harm in trying.
Looks AWESOME ! I would put some rocks on the downside of the overflow pipe as if you get hit by a big storm, the water will erode the back side of the dam.
You're lucky that was the d4g that you damaged the Stack-On because we all know if it was the 850 Jerry would be out for you awesome job on this damn project keep up the good work love your videos
Just as Bill Murray told Andie McDowel in "Groundhog Day", "Gee, you're an upbeat lady". So I say to you Mike, "Gee, you're an upbeat lady". And I say that with admiration and respect. :)
Mike, Give yourself some credit when it comes to operating the dozer. I think you knocked it out of the park. You have definitely got some skills. And the pond just looks amazing. You must be very proud of the way it all turned out. Other than Jerry and Aaron helping you out for a couple days, you pretty much did it yourself and that has to feel good. Big thumbs up Operator Kleeman !!!
The more you operate the bulldozer, the better you will get. I could tell the difference from first time & you're getting better. Talk to Jerry & ask him some questions. Always good to ask an elder for wise council. You did a great job, Mike. Always safety first.
Captain looks like all you need now is some water good job man get some grass planted it’ll be back to normal looking like it did before be safe buddy God bless
I'm sure the grass will come in great. Your neighbor seems to know how to grow it. Sometimes its luck and sometimes its skill. I think he has more of the latter.
Captain, that's a good looking pond! With water in and grass, it's gonna be awesome. DP and Let's dig 18 ain't got nothing on you brother. You said several times that you were not very good at dozing but just look at the dang pond!! 👍💯
The pond is much better now on so many levels. Especially from a swimming point of view. I'm sure lots of awesome memories with the kiddies is in the future. Fishing, swimming, pond side BBQ's and more.
@@CaptainKleeman. The backside of the pond damn would make an awesome toboggan slide if a 8 foot wide trail was trimmed into the Forrest behind it with snow berms on each side. We had a place in Traverse City Michigan we did that to back when I was stationed there at the Coast Guard Airstation flying in helos. We'd go down on our toboggons 2 at a time standing up wearing 5 layers looking like the Pillsbury Dohboy in multicolored snowmobile suites wearing out flight helmets like a screaming pack of fools. Don't try that at home kids.
Was on a course on Friday and was told there is no such thing as failure, only the need to come back and do it again. Here, you have proved that to be the case and improve on it no end !!! Nowt wrong with your dozer skills, you are way better than some operators I used to work with over here 😎🤓 Appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos, that includes the number of times the camera takes a fall 🤣🤣🤦♂️🇬🇧 Gary did his part with the grass again, will be green in no time at all !!!
Great work Captain K! Let's not forget neighbor Gary and his hard work! Just wonderful. God Bless the entire crew involved in this Pond, Mrs. Kleeman for putting up with the lot of you LOL!
Your videos are a lot more timely than a lot of creators. Hopefully you are getting some of the rain we are experiencing here in my part of Southern Indiana. Now on to watch Bama Bass to see how his pond is doing.
Take a bow Mike! Seriously the repair and expansion came out magnificently. You are a much better dozer operator than you give yourself credit for. Think about the memories you’re going to have with the family on and in this pond. Enjoy!
You have more equipment on that dam repair that a homesteader could conceivable want or need. DP must have no work on and is using your place for free storage or he really likes you. 😂 Great job too. You are becoming very competent on the dozers. I'm impressed.
Lots of homesteads rent equipment for larger projects. Check out hometown acres, they are doing the same thing and it’s looking great! Mike has his newer equipment out on the jobs. That’s the advantage of owning multiple pieces of equipment 🤷♂️.
You did a Great job on finishing the pond. May be a good idea too add rock at the Emergency spillway. As it will Erode if you get a bunch of rain after its filled. Just a suggestion...But the pond looks great...And Great Video....

Mike has graduated from Mirrors to Stacks....
Great job Captain. You should be proud of your work.
I think you have done a fine job on that pond. Give yourself a nice pat on the back on a job well done.

A dock with benches would be kind of neat. You did a great job Captain
Thanks!

Hey thanks!
Congrats you just made your own little paradise for your family and friends to enjoy for many years.
Thank you!
When it comes to Crunch time, you are the Captain.
Looks Awesome Mike :) Your smile at the end says it all, You should be proud of yourself.
Thank you sir!
I wait ever Thursday and Sunday for your videos.. I love your content.. I literally watch maybe 5 other channels but you and junkyard digs are my two main. 🤘
Hey appreciate that!
Those final touches really improved the pond overall. And Gary's green thumb will have the pond surrounded with lush green grass!
I'll bet God just smiles when He looks down on you☺
Atta Boy Mike. Can't wait to see it when the grass is grown. Think about some seaweed solution for the trees you want to save. It is a great tonic. No harm in trying.
Thanks for the tip!
it looks really nice mike. the more seat time the better you will get. then mike DP can give you more work oppertunities.
Looks AWESOME ! I would put some rocks on the downside of the overflow pipe as if you get hit by a big storm, the water will erode the back side of the dam.
Agree
Its good to see you smile with the out come of the dam. Top job Captain.
Thank you sir!
If you're happy and Gary is happy, then that's all that matters. Time will tell if you need to make any changes. Good job ! Fingers crossed 🤞
Thanks Brian! Agree 100% we can make adjustments as time goes on with whatever problems show up
That’s a good looking pond and good looking dozer work! OJT is the only way to improvement at the end of the day!!!
nice box scraper, i have the same one i pull behind the 950 john deer.
You're lucky that was the d4g that you damaged the Stack-On because we all know if it was the 850 Jerry would be out for you awesome job on this damn project keep up the good work love your videos
Have a great week.
Looks Great, it' amazing how time and persistence things can change for the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Tony!

Definitely had a lot of help and support for sure. Thanks for watching!
Shaping up nicely, smooth operator.
CK - I'm impressed. I've watched pond people like Letsdig18 forever. Your pond looks great! You are so fortunate to have access to that equipment.
Thanks!
Beautiful job. You guys should be well pleased.
The more you operate the bulldozer, the better you will get. I could tell the difference from first time & you're getting better. Talk to Jerry & ask him some questions. Always good to ask an elder for wise council. You did a great job, Mike. Always safety first.
Agree! Love learning from him
I see a floating cabin for guests on your pond in your future. 🤔👍🏻🇺🇸
Captain looks like all you need now is some water good job man get some grass planted it’ll be back to normal looking like it did before be safe buddy God bless
It’s been raining for a few days now, water is on the way!
That my dear Sir is what you call a hell of a transformation,it needs a zip line water drop just a suggestion lol,it's been fun to watch✌️
Oh that would be fun!
Pond Mk2 looks great! The pond dam failure was in reality an opportunity not a crisis!
Good point!
Mike, you could teach a fox how to sharpen his skills in the wild. As always, I enjoy your videos, you are a learning experience.
Thanks for watching!
I'm sure the grass will come in great. Your neighbor seems to know how to grow it. Sometimes its luck and sometimes its skill. I think he has more of the latter.
Good video the pond is ready. The water must come and the pond to fill. Then is time for fish. Your video to show the work. Greeting 🇦🇹
Thanks for watching!
Captain, that's a good looking pond! With water in and grass, it's gonna be awesome. DP and Let's dig 18 ain't got nothing on you brother. You said several times that you were not very good at dozing but just look at the dang pond!! 👍💯

Don't try that at home kids.
Hey captain love when I see your new videos. Thank Mike
Thanks for watching!
I like your theory on the trees.
Was on a course on Friday and was told there is no such thing as failure, only the need to come back and do it again. Here, you have proved that to be the case and improve on it no end !!!

Thank you! Definitely huge shout out to gary!

Hello Captain. I hope you have a great day.

What about putting some sand down on the shallow section for a paddling beach for your kids.
Maybe, probably go for a swimming dock instead
Your videos are a lot more timely than a lot of creators. Hopefully you are getting some of the rain we are experiencing here in my part of Southern Indiana. Now on to watch Bama Bass to see how his pond is doing.
Definitely getting some rain!
