This is Exceeding Expectations - Excavation complete! 

I'm 74, my daughter passed December last at 50, your daughter reminded so much of me and mine, on those days we had together ! Never pass up a chance to make those memories, my daughter didn't and always brought back her memories, of her perspective about those days. Priceless !!!! About this project - - It just keeps getting better and better !

Mike, how can you become more and more likeable?!?!?! Show the Admiral how much you love her by building a plunge pool with a waterfall, spend time with your cute as a button daughter, showing her how much you love her, and encourage her kindness by letting her rescue a box turtle. Yup, its hard to believe, but you've stepped it up another notch. May you and your family continue to be abundantly blessed. Thanks for the hard work and taking us along for the ride. The project is gonna be gorgeous. John here, photographing the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.

Your assistants camera skills are top notch👏

Mike I can't tell you how great it is to see you working with your kids and the things you are teaching them.! You may not see it now but someday the fruits of being a parent and sharing your love of what you do will come out in them. Making memories is the key to life!! You are AMAZING young man, although I'm sure there are days you question that lol. Keep the 13 year old illustrations coming along, it's a great asset with the new camera person too!!

Your daughter's a little sweetie, Mike! What a helper you've got there! You must be one proud daddy!

Great to watch you developing your plunge pool plan and also see your cute young daughter being your helper. Making memories with your daughters is awesome. Looking forward watching your progress on this project.

Nothing like a good helper that has compassion to save turtles. 😊

Love your daughter's tie dye!!!

It’s about time you take on some help!!❤️🤗 Masterpiece in the making!!🤗🇺🇸

great video Mike, it's going to look amazing, the time spent with your daughter is priceless 👍👍👍👍👍

I’ll say it again Mike, “It must be awesome to live in your mind.” I love seeing your vision for that part of your property come to life. Love your videos.

You have got to be one of the most beautiful personalities on you tube , and please tell your cute daughter you would never leave her behind. Your a great dad !!!!

Mike, this project just keeps getting better and better! Love it, love everything about it.

Got yourself a good little helper and a life saver (turtle) to boot. That drop pool is going to be an awesome addition, great call. Thanks for the update young man, stay the course, you’re really on to a great feature.

That is a great idea it's going to look beautiful

The America of my upbringing had father-daughter interactions just like your video. Good job, Mike. You are a good dad.

I absolutely love when you have your daughter with you. I would love to have your mind. Your creativity amazes me. Keep up with your vision. This will be epic! Thank you for sharing!😊

I envy you Mike. You’re living the Dream. You definitely got the vision and the help. lol your daughter. My granddaughter is right by me like yours. She’s 12 now and drives my ztrac and helps me whenever she can. Life just can’t get any better than that. Love your videos and your visions.👍👍👍

outstand how the project is taking shape Kudo's, Amazing how people forget what it takes and the dollars to keep equipment up and dependable.

Cap’n that plaintive, “He’s leaving me” as you drove up the trail was a tear jerker. But, I see she got even with the rock splash!! Keep goin’ bud, I like your style!!!

Made me itch just watching the video. 😂 Poison ivy is one of the things that made me get out of professional tree work. I've seen trees that look alive and healthy and then you realize the only green on them is the poison ivy. Funny thing, I never reacted to poison ivy as a kid. After being in contact with it pretty often, I became quite sensitive to it.

Captain, I know I have said it before, but here goes …… You are awesome!! I love watching you interact with the kids. It is so refreshing to see good wholesome family oriented content these days. My wife and I are going to schedule a visit as soon as you get the yacht and park open for business.

Hi Mike. The pool/waterfall is coming along nicely. At first, I thought the blue water was an "artist's rendering". When you flew the drone over it, I realized you have actual blue water! Neat!

Mike you have done some serious work in this video,place is coming right along.great job,impressive as always.your family I’m sure will love this.nice to keep the kids involved in your projects,your a good dad.great video,just keep on doing what you do.be safe.😎😎😎👍👍👍

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Really enjoyed this video, starting to really imagine what your trying to build. Great to see you hanging out with your daughter teaching her what to expect in a guy so she holds out for someone as good as her dad. Wishing you and your family the best. The blue dye really helps to visualize your idea. Wishing you and your family the best.

I really like it whenyour kids are with you helping out building memories they'll cherish when they grow up and begin their future families. I used to take my Daughter Ronni with me on my Harley when I had an Arcade and pinball games route when she was 11 and my locations would spoil her. One time coming home from northeast Miami-Dade County down to southwest Miami-Dade where I lived along Old Cutler Road it began raining I got soaking wet and she not so much. Got home she was shivering so I made her take a hot shower. She comes out in another fresh pair of bib shorts overhauls (her favorite thing to wear then) and wanted to go riding again. Nope, Daddy was bushed and I just turned on the line if Arcade and pinball games I had in my dining room and she was entertained while daddy took a quick nap. To this day she remembers that day fondly.

Thank you for sharing, always a good moment watch your project and you who entertain very well, i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍

I love what you’re doing here, not just the pond but the whole property, the rental cabins wait all the cool trails, your wrenching videos and everything in between. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Captain another great project! Your dreams are coming together! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

You are a machine......I get tired just watching you go.....😂

It's always good to have help.

Nice video and nice you made it a family video. Good luck with your ideas and plans for the pool or semi pont. We will see your progress in the next video. Thumps up!

the plung pool was a sweet idea looks like its comming together nicely thanks for another great video and keep up the good work c ya

Nice vision to see the finished product.

Sweet job Captain K!

I'm liking the progress Mike. Keep 'er going.

Imagine how many pallets you will be able to haul with your one ton truck, Mike! It should handle 2-3 pallets of stone to the plunge pool!

This project is coming on great 👍 You have a beautiful dad daughter relationship with your little girl, reminds me of when my kids were little, wonderful years 👍😁 Keep at it Mike, it’s going to be great when it’s done. Best wishes to you and you family, from Britain 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

one thing for sure Capt, you do like a good challenge. plunge pool shaping up. as for Ole Floppy 304, it wouldnt know what to do with tight bucket pins. Ole Floppy more likely to find its way permanently home with you before a certain DP redoes all those floppy clangy pins.

More excellent content. I think the word your looking for that describes the finished product is ' tranquility '

Can't wait until it's all done captain, keep up the good work !!!

u have a good helper my daughter always help me like that

Yes Mike, I love your plan. It’s really coming together. It will be amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️

Boy that blue color in the pool looks great, it really stands out, I can’t wait to see it when done😎😎👍👍🍮🍮❤️

Going to look great with the fine help you have .

What a great video. The rock splash was my favorite part. It's great to have helpers. Stay safe

"... he's gotta make sure the bucket's good'n'tight" (waggles the dipper arm). 👹 Bad boy Mike, bad boy! 😂😂

Hey Cap’n, this project is coming along nicely.

Really enjoyed this series great job

Looking forward to seeing the next video,I have become more excited about this project and your little helper is apparently a naturalist like her dad❤l 😊

Another excellent days effort. You got an awful lot done. Your daughter was a good helper :)

I have to admit - I didn't see it at first, but now I do and it's amazing. Great job and I'm looking forward to the next video!

I can’t wait for your next video.

Great to see the new cohost and the dramatic turtle rescue! Really neat project you’re working on and a great video as always! Thanks!

That was very nice of your babygirl to ask before she threw the rock. Like her Dad. Go big or stop that! Lol.

truly enjoying this build ! :)

Can’t wait to see you get back to working on the shed.

Great new camera operator. She's a mini you for sure.

That area is really coming together. The buried ledge is all in the ideal location to accomplish you vision.

Pond dyes are a matter of personal preference. The blue dyes remind me of inside of porta-potties... So a green brown seems a bit more natural for a plunge pond, imho. Great episode!😊

Terra forming fun, blessed with an abundance of natural material to work with and access to the equipment to get it done. It will be a great feature Mike.

You are such a “visionary”! Good job bud!!!

Hi Mike & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mike & Friends Randy

The Kleeman Khronikles kontinue....there was definitely some fine "rocksmanship" demonstrated on this one. And....I see you still have that Kleeman Enterprises employee that works really fast on the payroll, he was a great hire by the Admiral. And good on ya for including your daughter....making great memories there. Keep up the great project. Ad always, great channel, great content.

Captain it’s going to look like a million bucks coming along nicely great watch as always 👍👋🇨🇦

Loving the progress on this project. Another great job by your part time videographer!!

You have achieved lots with the little yellow digger , certainly the machine for the job ,the back hoe has it tasks to do but limited. I see C,&C equipment has a newer backhoe for sale ,yes I know ,the gold trees haven't blossomed yet 😊

DP is kinda resource, big brother for you and Matt!!

Thanks Mike; good videographer and rock thrower you have there. Interesting project and video. 🇨🇦😊

Mike, if you know someone who is throwing out either a top or front loader washing machine, try and get it, as long as it's a stainless steel drum. Strip it from the case, fit tripod legs on it, and you got a little fire pit for the plunge pool. You could even build a hot plate/grill on top for a neat little BBQ. All the best from Perth, Western Australia.

Always ambitious on the big projects. I just can't stop thinking about the snakes that will love all that rock and sun.

Looking good Mike,peace…

excellent camera work!👍

Looking great!

Its coming along! And its great to see the girls helping! And such good helpers! You should of caught the look on her face as it splashed thou!

Always good CK, never a dull moment.👍

May your dreams come true. Thanks for always being entertaining.

Coming together nicely.

Loved that you had some great daughter time ….both with the camera operator and your visual editor. Most of all, I thank you for taking us along on your journey from the start. Admittedly, I could not visualize what is already starting to take shape. I must also say that I’m still gobsmacked at how you knew that rock shelf existed and that it seems to be working out almost as if it was placed there just for this. 💪 💥

That's going to be a cool pool. Thanks for the video, take care.

Nice job sir Nice yard good show 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍😃

Nice work getting things moved around both dirt and your reclaimed limestone. I love your camera grip/straw boss that helps from time to time!!

Great visual by your daughter. The die in the pond sure makes the image. Thanks for sharing your dream.

Thanks for another great video, can’t wait to see this project when it’s finished.

Mike thank you for the great content! Truly appreciated! Watching you switch from bucket to forks makes it look like the front tires of the 555 are filled.....with helium!

I Worry about you my friend, being alone out there cutting, felling trees 🌳, Stay Safe ❤ Thanks AGAIN for sharing 👏!!!

👍 diggin' it

THUMBS up to this video! Can't wait to see this done and the paddle boat in the woods!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆

Great job again Mike. On a personal note, I fondly remember my kids being helpers, those are the moments you remember most. You are a truly blessed and lucky guy. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share.

Another great video, thanks!

Oh boy Mike, you're in for it. Take off in the truck and leave the midshipman behind. She did not like that and told us so. Paybacks are hell so beware. Thanks for the recap at the end with that pretty blue water. Gives us an idea of what you have planned as the steamboat gets finished.

Tote should have a 2 inch banjo fitting on it. You need a 2 inch female banjo fitting. Reduce it to 1 inch and then 3/4. You might be able to find a 2” to 3/4”. Rural King or Tractor supply have the banjo fittings.

Its nice seeing more of the limestone being reporposed from a burned out church to this project , keep up the good work 👍🇺🇸

That is one really great daughter.

It's looking great 👍

This is a fantastic video.

Pretty cool project man. Mike great idea if you have the equipment or DP has it. Pressure wash the rock face at the end. As a finishing touch. Might need a feed pump using the water that’s already there.

And I thought the Captain was not allergic to poison ivy. I only know of 1 man who can lie in a bed of that itchy stuff in the whole state of Louisiana. And he ain't cajun!!😲 You have a hard working camera-woman recording your efforts for this video which I believe is taking shape! Excellent video Captain👍

' The Blue Lagoon ' 👍

You had a great helper today.
