New Retaining Wall Footer - Drainage Complete

GREAT ADVICE... from one plugger to another. Here I sit, 75 years old enjoying life after over 40 years of keeping at it, plugging away. my properties paid off, rents coming in....life is good. I can not quit plugging so I do most of the maintenance myself so as not to wear out the sofa too quickly.

It never ceases to amaze me......the amount of people who are armchair experts...... that don't really have a clue how much actual time and effort it takes to do projects by yourself. The fact you started, and will functionally complete, just this phase of this project this year is significant. I would really like to see the DIY project resumes of the know-it-all's who leave all the uninformed comments and all the "you should have....blah...blah...blah" comments. That's the first tell-tale sign that they never have. Keep on Keepin' on brotha.....the people who KNOW have a great appreciation for those that "DO" vs those that talk about it.

Your statement about not being flexible and why did that hurt, hit me on so many levels. I just turned 48, and my brain says I’m still the lean, mean, fighting machine I used to be. My body says my brain is full of crap. You’re a braver man than I. At the first sight of that recluse, I’d still be running away.

Like the Admiral always says,,,YOU the Captain, Mike. Couple hard work and an artistic brain, turns into Magic.

"It's not the hoot I was havin' earlier... But - the DIY rule: you just gotta keep moving...!" Mike, you're a sight wiser than your years, and always a tonic to watch you as you plug away at your imaginative projects! Respect, from an old plugger across the pond. 😎🇬🇧

Sitting here in North Carolina in the middle of Tropical Thunderstorm Debby watching your video while I still have power. 4K people immediately to the south of me are in the dark. Multiple Tornadoes hit north and east of me overnight. I am very fortunate at the moment. A tree just came down on my neighbors house! I watch your channel with the “expectations” of what happens, happens and I know I’ll enjoy it 😊 The only one who gets to set schedules and deadlines there is the Admiral 😆

One more step. Your determination is epic 👏 You put your heart and soul in each and every project. I know, myself. I absolutely appreciate all that you do. Thank you for sharing your vision and your journey on all the projects. 😊

Good morning sunshine! I just get so tickled when I hear you say "It's fine, everything is fine" when it clearly is not! Lol! Spiders are NEVER on my bingo card either! Your positive outlook is sooo awesome! Love all your videos! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA

It's always a good day when you can realize accomplishment is more important than comfort. 😂

Take your time, make your time, invest your time, but always move forward all the time. It’s going to be sweet when you get this project finished, I would say it gives us both something to look forward to. Always enjoy your videos, thanks for the update.

MIKE, the suspense! Sheesh! Tryin to beat the rain? Ain't gonna happen. Gettin the 555 to cooperate? Ain't gonna happen. BUT,... Persistence Pays off for this Project! Good stuff! Carry on Capt'n!

Cap’n when I think of Rolling Rock… it usually ain’t a triangle shaped boulder… Literally!!! I am tired of standing at the end of a hose pipe to stave off the drought. Please send me a couple of days of rain. You have my e-mail addy. Keep pecking away… your progress is piling up… your vision is getting more and more clear every day.

You are one hard working person. Between, your job, your family, and these projects, I don’t know how you keep going. Just don’t burn yourself out, we all enjoy your videos too much. Take care and always remember, you have to take care of yourself, so that you can take care of the others. 😉👍😀

We appreciate you bringing us along Mike, way more than I can say, so thank you for doing this it is looking so cool now, I can't wait till the flatbed is bringing materials for the project up and down the hill.

Good Morning Captain!! Project is looking good!!

Hard work never bothers me. I can watch it all day!😸

It's not always easy. but keep the vision of the end of the project. Looking forward to your next video. 🤠

You had me worried on the bucket full of gravel you dumped in by the tote! About the time I was going to shout, you lowered the bucket! I breathed a shy of relief! Great video and I don't know about the rest of the viewers, but I see the vision. It's going to be very nice! Thanks Mike! Lee

I LIKE your Attitude (sp?) towards your work !! Like all of your projects !

Hang in there Captain!. Did anyone tell you how great you are today? Well, you are great!
