- In this video we show you how to build, setup and pour a concrete foundation for a room addition, ADU, or even a garage. The homeowner did all of the plumbing and underground work here which made the job easier for us to setup the foundation and pour it out!

You always offer so much great detail in your narration. This one is exceptional. Keep on...
I love watching your videos and your discussion not only about the concrete, but also about some of the other aspects related to the job AFTER your part is complete.
Thanks
It’s the rare do-it-yourself homeowner who knows what he’s doing. 👍
Yes
You guys are the real deal. Salute to you and the homeowner! Awesome. Thanks!!
TY
The amount of details in this job is huge!
Excellent work! 👍👍👍👍👍

All the contractors I know have nothing but respect for roofers, but I roofed for quite a while and I have nothing but respect for concrete contractors. Keep your backs strong and pockets full boys! Great work!
I understand
Ty
That's weird, in Australia both roof tilers abd roof plumbers aswell as conceters are dodgy and overpriced...usually
Hours scouring TH-cam and Google for how to box out a shower like this and your video is the only one that shows how it's done. Thank you!
I appreciate all that you have shared with us over the years. Your hard work and knowledge base is valued.
I appreciate that!
This is an incredibly helpful video, thank you for taking the time to make it.

I love these videos. I always learn so much from your techniques and recommendations.
Really great presentation. Well thought out and developed. I learned a number of tips. My hat is off to the home owner! I am also a serious DIY but have never undertaken o project of this magnitude. My wife won’t let me attempt constructing a master bedroom suite on our existing house, so I’ll have to work with a contracter!
I hear that

Beautiful job. When I was growing up in Indio, Ca, my Dad used to do the ground work and setting up the rebar and 2x lumber when working on the family home. I watered the finished cement for days after the pour. I like the way you make each job personal and treat each job like it was your project that you were working on. Your pride in workmanship shows.
TY
A weird question, did you happen to know a girl named Brianna Soto in Indio?
Love your working details and explaining the steps.
Love how in depth and calm he is explaining step by step....
TY
mirror finish on concrete , excellent work, thank you , very instructive
Awesome explanation while working! Thank you for breaking things down so well for us.
YW

Good commentary, thanks. And I appreciate your talking about curing, as concrete is a chemical reaction that hardens over time and does best with watering. It eventually drys, but the cure is the key.
Yes
TY
I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share. I've been in the tile industry for 48 years, contracting for 35. Learned a lot along the way about various trades but not critical details on concrete. I'll certainly be utilizing your offerings as I begin doing smaller room additions and such now that I'm retiring from daily contracting. Thanks for bringing us along.
Great

TY
Yep as always a beautiful job. Your a real pro-David and a lot of pride in your work and it shows.
Thank you very much!
No thank you for these great videos.
always great to see the ODELL CREW do their thing - its artful! when people love and respect what they do, its not work - its art! well done mate! thanks for sharing!
I concur
TY
This was the first time I've heard about the plastic forms. WOW! Even though you didn't use them in this video I hope you'll do a video showing them. They are so cool! I have a big project and will definitely order some. I've always hated trashing boards for forms and now I won't have to. Thanks. I love how your videos are informative and real without all the BS and personality others seem to have to put in. Just getting the job done.
Maybe I'll use some one day
TY
You didn't disappoint 👍
45 years in carpentry and masonry along with other things. I always keep and open mind!! Thats how you learn and get better at you're Kraft!!

Excellent Videos and info Odell! Well narrated too!
Great job! Both Odell and the homeowner. I would like to see his finished product of that addition.
You and me both!
Nice work! Would love to see the finished room addition.
We will when we start on phase two
No bullshit music and a real explanation of what is going on. Subscribed.
I have to say that I'm impressed. Watching how experts go through their process allows us to understand the value of the experience it has taken to get to this level of craftsmanship. The ONLY thing that this DIY'er can see that was missing from this video was the way the re-bar ties into the existing foundation were brought in to line with the planned slab. (Yes, I know it seems obvious but, as said I'm a DIY'er.) Nice Messrs O'Dell. Much appreciated. Thank You.

I appreciate your detailed narrative. Very informative! 👍

I just wish I was fit enough to do this myself. At least I can check on whether someone that I employ is doing things correctly. Thanks for sharing.

Once again thank you for the video Odell. And the detailed commentary.
Glad you enjoyed it!
HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO YOU SUJJEST HAVING TO STARING A CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION CO.
I worked with an engineer in CA for 40 years. There is such a thing as over reinforcing concrete. #3 @ 18"o.c. is better for slab on grade. Anchor bolt spacing is tied to the shear wall above. if your shear walls are over 6' long, 5/8" AB @ 48"o.c. probably would have been fine. Too bad engineers are so expensive because they can save the cost of needless over design. Over design is not better. It is simply a waste of resources. Don't forget to cut crack control joints. Great job. Great video.
I believe over engineering is a real issue of concern
unfortunally ACI code requires a min on 0.0018bh for minimum reinforcement to minimize cracking this is also noted on the latest version of the CBC. as an example 0.0018(4"thick by 18" strip) = 0.1296 square inch of steel and a #3 is 0.11 square inch which is less than allowed by code).
Your jobs are always amazing, I would love to see what the finished product look like after the room it's completed.
Me too
TY
@@OdellCompleteConcrete NVC you are doing well and share your happy to help 🆘 you can
Love your videos. I have some concrete work coming up and always get so much information watching your work.
That's great
GL
"Burning it black". I love it.
Great video. The whole time I was thinking it would've been cool if the homeowner went with concrete walls too, maybe even cheaper than wood frame with the current cost of lumber.
Great point!
Maybe some day
Still have to use lumber to form it up, maybe cmu or icf is the way to go now
Concrete walls are nightmare....electrical, plumbing hanging cabinets, drywall...its way more difficult
Love watching hard work being done on my day off 😂
Good idea
TY
In the 50s and 60s Residential/ Commercial Concrete Construction was the family business when I was growing up and with my Uncle, Brother, and Brother-in-law all branching off and starting their own firm's labor was in much demand. So by the time I graduated from High School, I knew the trade Residental side well but Uncle Sam called and I was off to war. They made me into an Electrician and I never look back after that. Other than code changes I see the trade has not changed much, one, thing though is the kneeboards, wow great, what a time saver, and the rebar shear, (we used bolt cutters), in my day that would have been concrete block and wire mesh job except for the foundation tie into the house. I really enjoy watching you and your crew getten-er-done.
Things keep changing.
People are pretty much the same
Thank you for posting and have a good day sir!
Thanks, you too!
Great videos I have a few questions.
1. How long did this total process take?
2. How long did just the concrete pour take?
3 thanks for the answers my man!’

Much appreciated, I always wondered how the sunken showers were formed.
This is almost ASMR! Reminds me of watching golf! Really helpful.and informative, keep it up! 👍
$65/board! Wood is expensive nowadays!
Yes it is insane
10 dislikes? Possible from people who are to lazy to do it the correct way
I can only imagine it’s other concrete firms lol
Yes. What he's doing would never get approved in many countries
There are no dislikes anymore. Well you can't see em anyways.
Thank you for posting. I’m learning a lot from your videos. God bless Odell
TY
Love it, seeing it actually done right, way to go
TY
I sure hope the homeowner used Mobil 1 synthetic when he sprayed the boards
He had Castrol
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Noooooo!
@@OdellCompleteConcrete at least cut with some diesel?
That look good...only thing was an expansion joint required according to building codes?
Why Mobil 1? What does that do?
"DIY" with lots of assistants, but I'm impressed with his work.

Wow! Enjoyed watching!
