The cat walking in the background is just waiting for everyone to leave before he walks onto the wet concrete.
Good point
😂
Cat? Catses. Plural plural. At 3:16 there are five walking around. That neighborhood needs some coyotes.Must be cat poop everywhere in the gardens.
Inspector knows nothing. Just agreeing with whatever you said. Should have ran with the widening of the approach and he would have said something like yeah yeah that’s right.
This homeowner hit the jackpot or what? Definitely a score for you, like four different jobs wrapped into one and only one person to collect from.
@Tony Steven 50/50? Must be a new caliber. ; )
@@myrrhavm Yeah I would be the guy out there with a gun killing the Cylotes. Cats keep rats and mice away. But yah if you wanna have your wiring chewed up in your over riced POS BMW them go ahead.
I can really appreciate your attention to detail. It’s good to know there are contractors like you out there. 👍🏼
Works of art
TY
look again
When I was a kid in the Bronx I used to go to construction sites and watch the concrete guys and other trades do their work. I was fascinated by their talent; I went on to be a builder and now at 75 years old I sit here and watch a concrete job being done and love to watch the attention to detail and explanation along with the exchange with the inspector. I guess when it's in you "it" never goes away. Thanks!
Makes sense
TY
no u didnt
Bless you sir !!!
Do u know Jimmy Hoffa is?
Im getting an 2 bdrm 1 bat, and a rec room and storage 950 sq ft ADU built and Im helping the 2 man contruction crew by being their helper gopher. The foreman is 70 and his helper is 72 and I'm 75. Right now we doing the rafters and crest. Did the outside and structure and wall framinig last week.
That inspector is clueless. She asked what she had to do for an approval on widening the apron. His response was a lot. That’s ridiculous. I’m an inspector and your not going to know the answer to every question but it is your job to find out. All specs (rules) are in writing somewhere for the code.
so is the contractor "fly ash is cheap filler"
Hall, I agree. Quote the city standards
The Inspector doesn't look like he has done any manual labour in his life, at best he's picked up an Amazon box off his porch......You should at least know the job you're going to inspect.
I can't believe the "inspector" allowed himself to be filmed, dude was useless
Laws some time are no non sense. I use to run into problems like that in my town. First time I asked them about something they said no. After that I need something done I just do it. Got by 25 years so far doing it my way. But I live in small town.
I enjoyed your video. It was very interesting with your narrative. You are very detailed and do a wonderful job! ❤️❤️❤️
You delivered some real value to this homeowner. I am a long time retired shop teacher. These videos and your excellent commentary could provide real world teaching aids for a concrete pouring and finishing class. Thanks to you and your crew. Take care.
Thanks for your years educating the kiddos
That's great
TY
From my experience fly ash is added to concrete if it is going to be pumped to provide lubricity.
Not a reason I would want it.
TY
Juan needs a raise. Your final work is your signature.
The best craftsmen I've seen in a long long time. I wish we had drive concrete specialists like you in the UK.
Too bad the approaches are "hard" curbed on each end. In my neighborhood, all the curbs are soft and undefined, so cars can roll all the way to the edges.
A great finish. The whole project turned out very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Refreshing to watch and hear someone who really knows their business. Also, the video was very well done.
TY
Amazing work! I am an old timer and retired. Did concrete finishing work with a family business in the 1970's and 1980's. You guys are very professional and it is amazing to see what technology has done for the industry. Thank you for the time you take to do your videos. God Bless!
0:33 Oh my. You're putting in a new driveway for a Gold Star Family. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Sure
What's about "It's my house, I do whatever I please". Did the inspector pay the mortgage and tax for your house? Tell the city 'go to hell'
You can tell these guys take a lot of pride in the work they do.
TY
I’ve heard some strange rules for municipalities but never heard of not being able to file for a variance. Most variants are on a case by case basis.
Every City is different
@@OdellCompleteConcrete, hopefully this will help you!! What is fly ash?? It is coal that has been burned to make electricity at power plants! It is burned so completely that the remains are fly ash that the molecules are so small that they are actually not filtered by the human body and the particles go into the lungs!!! This is " FLY ASH"! It basically break dust , or friction dust!! It's asbestos at its finest! This was done in Ohio 40yrs ago! Contractors didn't know they were putting, fly ash in the mix as heavy as they did, create was flanking bad at jobs by 30yr companies! Simply put,, the fly ash is still going to get back in the atmosphere. I tried to make this simple sorry, fly ash is hazardous, and they don't know what to do with it! Hope this helps!,
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Make the cut blame COVID. it's what the government is did
just typical douchery from the douches
The thing about variances, is not to set a precedence. But to solve unusual situations. Odell got it right, what could stop the rest of the neighbors following suit, nothing. You haven’t seen high density yet, wait until the crazy State Laws take affect.
Not sure the inspector is right there. Most municipalities issue variances on individual basis. I got one that way for my detached garage involving the easement. It did not change all easements throughout the municipality. Just mine.
Different cities and states have different codes. He could be wrong in your state but not where he lives at.
The OLD concrete drive way DID NOT LOOK TO HAVE "WIRE MESH" NOR "RE-BAR" Which would have prevented or delayed CRACKING of the drive way. Will either one of those reinforcing materials be used on this drive way replacement??? I notice other people asking the same question.....Will wire mesh OR rebar be used to reinforce the drive-way???? SORRY !!! AFTER GOING FURTHER INTO THE ACTUAL VIDEO OF THE CONCRETE BEING POURED, I DID SEE THE "REBAR" USED ON THE SURFACE AND BEING RAISED AS THE CONCRETE WAS BEING POURED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS PLACED TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OR SO OF THE CONCRETE THICKNESS...
Yes, reinforcement in the driveway but not in the approach
I've never heard of a city not allowing you to request a variance to a zoning code. Where I live in New York State you go to the Town Zoning Board and fill out a request and then you have to mail every property owner within 500' of all 4 corners of your property a notice stating what the variance is about and when the meeting is that they can protest the request. Something as simple as a small "curb cut" as they are known here are almost never denied unless it's going to remove an on-street parking space.
I concur
TY
Here the bigger problem is not the city but the Home Owner’s Associations which are way more powerful. Thanks to homestead laws the IRS can’t seize your home but the HOA can if you don’t pay the yearly dues. They don’t put a lien on the home like any reasonable organization, they seize it!
Austin, that happened here in Denver to many families who incurred small fines but did notnpay them off in a "timely fashion". I think it was in Green Valley Ranch
@@WN_Byers It’s crazy. They don’t put a lien on the property like anybody else would do for an unpaid bill. I lived in an area one time where the president of the HOA lived behind me. Every day he would peek over the fence resulting in a letter from the HOA threatening fines if I didn’t remove the swim suits hanging up to dry on the patio, or stop playing music too loud at noon, or pluck the weeds out of my rose bushes that only he could see. It was a nightmare. I found out he was the one that removed our flood lights on the back porch when it was under construction.
@@nuntius1933 It’s a civil contract between the homebuyer and the Home Owner’s Association (HOA). To purchase the home the buyer *must agree* to the HOA rules which are generally a good thing. These protect the value of the properties by preventing people from letting their yards go, putting aluminum foil in the windows, parking junk cars out front. In the one I’m in now I can’t change the color of the exterior stucco walls without approval because the overall look of the community was master planned. I’ve been in this one 8 years with no trouble. Fees also pay for our clubhouse that has a huge swimming pool, fitness center, football pitch, tennis courts, etc. and general upkeep of public areas. Violating rules gets a warning letter, followed by a fine if non-compliant, followed by enforcement action based on the contract and state/county/city laws. In Texas I filed a homestead exemption which lowered my property taxes and prevents seizure of the home by the IRS as long as mortgage and taxes are current. Some states would have the HOA just put a lien on the property such as what the powerful Internal Revenue Service would do here. However not paying an HOA fine can get the property seized from you. An HOA president can make someone’s life hell. It’s rare but it happens. Of course all I’ve said is a gross oversimplification and there are exceptions and nuances to all parts of it but the general feeling that an HOA can seize your hone in Texas when even the IRS can’t is true. The HOA has a lot more money for attorney fees than I do!
Fly ash use in concrete improves the workability of plastic concrete, and the strength and durability of hardened concrete. Fly ash use is also cost effective. When fly ash is added to concrete, the amount of portland cement may be reduced.
Better off without it as an option, because its overused and for the wrong purposes
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I did a Google search, this was copied and pasted ....! Sorry should have wrote that in also...! After hearing the two of your conversation, I looked it up.
Really enjoyed this video, Great to see the whole process from the very start to Finnish ! Will it be finished with a clear sealer ?
Yes it will.
The home Owner has started sealing it himself.
It bothers me that this inspector doesn’t seem to be aware of the precise reason for the city’s regulations!
A huge problem is people are told they’re voting for a few things that have a huge amount of small print added to it and once something becomes law or code it’s almost impossible to change it unless you can throw a bunch of money at a wall.
I concur
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Another great job. Love the channel. It's pretty bad when you had to educate the inspector. That guy didn't know anything except what was written in the code book. He didn't know flyash from flyppaper! I don't understand why you couldn;t widen the drive approach. There should be allowances for certain situations. That widing of the approach would not had affected anything on that street. It would have made it easier for the owner to pull in and out though.
@@Brian-jm2xr If it wasn't for the youtube video, after the inspector is there the second time and ok'ed the approach, that's when you get the saw out and chop down that chunk of curb - what are the chances they're actually going to come back and look at it later. Just be sure to park a car over that area for a couple of weeks - probably golden
@@gorak9000 Odell is a professional and has to do everything to code. It is good that he does. However, if I was doing it myself on my own property, I never would have even called an inspector. My house, I do what I want.
@@Brian-jm2xr so you would just ignore it because YOU know better. You must like driving 80 in a school zone too because you know best
Just a question I have watched a couple of your videos and you use a wood bull float do you ever use magnesium bull floats I’m in Northern California that’s all we use.also how much is that Owens pink bar and were do you buy it. Nice work.
Whitecap
15 a bar
Why couldn't they just do a "Variance" with the building department in order to widen the width of the curb access? A variance applications is slightly time consuming but its not that difficult to process.
I wish they did
There must be a balance between the needs of the property owner and the needs of the public: widening the driveway beyond the width of the garage will reduce parking space for the public.
they probably could in 6 to 48 months form now. highly likely the later of the range and snooty neighbors crying 🤣
Wow! wouldn't it be nice to live on side of the cat lady..
lol that inspector jumping on it. There is a tool that measures compaction, looks like a slide hammer. You release the weight several times and has a measurement how deep it goes to see if it passes or not.
Yes, but didn't need it here.
At the beginning with the inspection guy, i was distracted by all the cats passing by the neighbour house ! So funny!
Those cats are wild
Absolutely amazing. Great to watch craftsmen and professionals at work. You take pride in your work.
Not a big fan of these cul de sacs , no parking I had a service call for a customer and got a ticket. I now show up for emergency service call and there is no parking ,I leave.
I spent some 40 years laying tile and I can appreciate the hard work it takes to trowel. Nice job.
Anyone who says they have done hard work has never poured concrete in the sun.
@@robertwatson818 pouring was my favorite part. Troweling on a hot Australian summer's day is to tough work indeed
total phckng BS... being kept from making his driveway smooth at the bottom to save constant issues with tires being damaged due to running into the curb is HORSESHITE!
There is no reason why he could not have done that, easy in and out especially when parking cars side by side! Rules are needed, surely, but not oppression by stupid control!
As usual, I learned a lot from your videos. Appreciate you sharing knowledge and experience on this channel. The end-result looks fantastic.
inspector waste of money. Just a corrupted department. Did you buy that refrigerator I wanted to get this passed? Happens all the time.
How come no rebar or reinforcement’s in the city approach ?
City standards
Tell the home owner that a small piece of PVC in the street gutter makes a "GREAT" Curb hopper, along with not resticting water flow. Find a length of pvc pipe 1/2 the height of the Curb. Paint it Plastic Paint "Cement" color. (no one will notice it if it blends in)....
Good idea
TY
You should be able to apply for a variance from the zoning board. At least you can in the city I’m the inspector for. It does require a meeting and vote but doesn’t effect the whole city.
that's interesting, I know in other Cities I've worked in its not a problem to widen them as long as you can maintain a 20' length of full curb height in front of your property
Hermoso trabajo excelente saludes desde tegucigalpa honduras 🇭🇳👍😜
gracias
No one talking about the ungodly amount of cats next door
wild
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love how they saved the initials I was a former marine and man that hits the heart !!! Was prob hard for the owners to take that out but hopefully someone can make a nice sculpted pc for them . Awesome work guys your attention to detail fits for a marines home trust me lmao
TY
why can't you be in NY, i'd hire you guys in a heartbeat to repour my garage floor and change my driveway from asphalt to concrete, ugh. love your videos!
I wish
TY
The attention to detail that you show is awesome. The quality of your work is far above the normal contractor. You mentioned that you've worked for this home owner once before. So they are happy with the work you did before. Happy customers are repeat customers. The piece that you cut out to save with the kids initials will be a family heirloom, especially since the son is a fallen war hero. Thanks for your video, great job. Much love to the customers family, please tell them Thanks for their sons service.
Sure will
Thanks
NONONONO!!! You can always apply for a one time variance for your home. The inspector started blowing a little smoke, and sounded unsure about a variance. It DOES NOT CHANGE THE BUILDING CODE!!
*"Happy customers are repeat customers"*
I haven't advertised a day in my life and have ran my business for 23-years with that exact mindset in mind. No truer words.
All that municipal code is crap. Twenty years ago I widened my driveway by 15 feet and extended it by 25 without any inspection or permits. No one ever said anything even when I sold the house 5 years ago.
They’re horrendous in New Jersey. Here they’ll make you tear it out. Some of these guys sit in their office and do nothing but look at google satellites maps trying to find violations.
3:30 - what is up with all those cats?!?!?!! Lol.
The cats roam wild around there and they help feed the coyote population
19:44 - Why FIBERGLASS hand float? 19:54 - Why WOOD bull float?
Preference
So sorry to hear about her son, please let them know I am praying for them. Look real good guys, I learn so much for you guys, now I do a few repairs around my home. 👍
great
Thank you
I'm sure they are reading the comments
Hes the inspector, why would he know? Thats just what the said. A few of his responses seemed kinda suspect, next time give him a quiz, nicely but, bet his off his game.
I love quizzing
I was a concert finisher for 15 years it's in my blood, I miss it. Ima old man know . You guys do good work I love watching you guy it brings back old memories when you retire. Well keep up the good work men and God bless.
TY
GL
Just add the little flair to the approach after the Inspector leaves. He'll never notice. Just slip him a 20 and tell him the local Jersey Mikes has a great Italian Sub...
Bingo
Hi O'Dell, it may have come up already...but it would be interesting if you did a Mr. Roger's type visit to a cement factory. And to a limestone quarry( or where they mine the ingredients). As educational episodes, showing another aspect to concrete.
Good idea
TY
I think the main issue with parking revolves around every person in a house having their own car. America needs to come to terms with sharing vehicles / rides. Having accessible public transportation and walkable cities would probably help also.
That would be nice
Poor-quality fly ash can have a negative effect on concrete. The principle advantage of fly ash is reduced permeability at a low cost, but fly ash of poor quality can actually increase permeability. Some fly ash, such as that produced in a power plant, is compatible with concrete.
I think it's better to pass on fly ash do to miss uses
It's more susceptible to effloresce (powderize on the surface) and it's slower curing. So I've read. I'm not a concrete guy, but a civil designer. I love good concrete work. So gratifying to see!
Ex-boilermaker here, and they use flyash in concrete? Flyash is a waiste product from coal boilers (think 13 to 20 floors tall) The coal usually crushed to a dust and then blown in the boiler via a side cylinder called a cyclone, the molten coal flows in to the boiler and created a lake, ever so often there a hole for the molten coal to flow down full of water, where it explodes on contact. It's projected back up in the boiler. Flyash was really bad as America was importing cheap Russia coal back in the 90's which had a lot of iron in it. The Boilers are lined with a concrete substance called shamrock (sure i misspelled it) green concrete that once hardens its pretty hard to remove. (Some Boilermakers figured out how to create housed out of hay an spraying shamrock on it, since the concrete is set by fire, they burn the hay as the final step of curing the concrete.) So I've seen a chunk of flyash rust. Most of the time its pull from the boiler watrer hopper and deposited to a man made lake for the waste colection. Best use I've seen for it to date is as sand blasting media. It works really well for that. It being used in concrete makes me think of rusting concrete.
Thank you for posting ur life experience knowledge
Thank you young man and the family for your sacrifice. Truly sorry for the pain.
protip: dont thank families that lost sons and daughter to war for their "sacrifice"
I appreciate that
Like it matters to the city if the approach is wider than the garage opening. Cities need to wake up that people need wider approaches. It’s probably a simple appeal to the planning commission not to the city council.
I concur
This such beautiful work. Love this channel and the wealth of knowledge you teach David. You're videos helped me prepare to update part of my patio earlier this year. Man is this hard work when you don't have any experience, but the results were just phenomenal thanks to your advice. Much respect 🙏
YW
TY
Love your narration for each job! Very informative. Another great job by You and your crew!!
TY
IF you wear a mask before coming up to me I will not trust you.
Usually it's termed a "Variance" for a code change or over ride. You have to get the neighborhood to sign off for the change for your property. That's the way it is here in South Florida. With the lost of their son as a Marine in Afghanistan and the fact of parking issues, they should not have a problem.
I concur
Great work guys, in England we would say this is
'spot on'. Basically perfect.
TY
This is a delight of a long video and the time flew by ..... super interesting and great results. The sound is perfect too and the Odell logo stamp is perfect size. Hope you guys are having a great week ahead of you guys and the sun is shining on all the good things
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have a good one
TY
Concrete is a huge carbon emitter. We should be going for more green ways to lay our driveways!
Oss
really good to see everyone, from the boss all the way down getting in on the action
not only did we learn about kerb sizing, we also learnt about that new screed tool that we might see more of in the future
thanks
A lot of action going on.
TY
Yes changes can be made all it takes is paperwork and votes. That inspector just does not want to do the leg work.
It's a time consuming process
My back hurts watching you guys work. Looks great!!!
TY
I didn't use the fifth wheel hook, I got under the trailer, and pulled the short release for 30 years, but think of all the hair grease I could say was free.
Nice
The majority of inspectors have no experience within the field and go based off the books when in reality they should go based off of experience.
I think that is a part of it
That’s the whole reason of having an inspector. To go by the book. If you let every contractor go off their experience you’re gonna have a lot of problems.
@@daaneel but most inspectors know how to handle the situation and answer it properly. Look at the two questions Dave asked him, now we all know Dave was just testing him and see if he knew what to say, but the inspector didn't so that's why he said "idk". Does the book contain the answer idk? The book should contain a clarification of what is requested on behalf of the county, municipal court etc.
@@josuedehoyos I agree with you. Sounds like the inspector did not clearly read the book and couldn’t give a confident answer. In that case you can definitely press them to show you which exact code is enforcing the rules. However, to bend the rules of the book based off contractor experience, usually just means the contractor wants to do it easier, cheaper, quicker and not safely.
@@daaneel there is no shortcut in the construction industry. Plus cheaper? Psshhh Our economy is already messed up and most construction workers want a minimum of $200 per day which is equivalent to $25hr for 8hrs. Plus every construction field area is risky no matter what you specialize in whether its concrete, roofing, plumbing, electrical etc.
Hi i would like to know if i can rent jr. for a week
I find it interesting that the reinforcing is so far apart. Here in Australia it is much closer together. ( 4" mesh). Very nice work btw.
Am I right in saying that the reinforcing should be mid way between the base and the surface of the concrete? so would it be easier to place rio chairs under the mesh to achieve the correct height?
Very Impressive However, If I tried to anything like that it would turn out like The Flintstone's swimming pool.
My be trending
WOW, it’s definitely not that guy’s first time on the broom. The early brooming looked beautiful too. Tell Han that he did a great job! Muy magnifico 😆😆
I concur
tY
Not gonna lie, through the camera, that is some good looking "grass". I didn't know it was fake till you pulled it up. I also prefer using chairs with rebar and mesh. Nothing like everyone standing on the rebar/mesh you just pulled off the ground and pushing it back down to the base when they are spreading the concrete...
2' centers, no need to stand on it
Did a nice job kid. Retired here 10 yrs ago. Master mason specializing in masonry fireplaces my favorite. Concrete sucks til you can stand back and hopefully say now that's a good job. Was a commercial fisherman in wash and ore. Did masonry everywhere. Lived fishing the most but love any art work with the hands. I remember paying $15 a yard off the truck back in the day. Bet it's high now here in Florida. Times change and I'm ready to be fishing next year in the north west. Maybe Alaska would be nice just live cheap til God calls me. Keep up the good work with the brothers and sisters with respect and being great ful for health and knowledge
Concrete is around 175.00 a yard now.
Fishing sounds good.
Didn't get very far before I concluded the inspector wasn't really on top of his game.
I love how you snuck in your knowledge on fly ash and the inspector was just like yea I agree 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
I concur
TY
What is fly ash??? Is it good?
You guys are still wearing masks? Shame about the homeowners son not making it back 😢
It's a choice
TY
Just happened to catch this video and watched for the first time. All I can say is you and your crew do top notch work. Definitely got a new subscriber.
Welcome aboard!
No inspector for all those cats walking around ?
Maybe someday
You & your crew do such great work! It's always a pleasure to see true craftsmen on a jobsite. It's certainly too bad that the city is that strict on their ordinances. This was a case where the curb definitely should have been moved in order to make a decent approach... That said, the inspector seemed to know his stuff and was firm about the code without being arrogant. It sounds like he already knows the quality of your work & that you have a good rapport with him.
Yes, I found out he has been a follower, so I think that helps break the ice.
if only concrete would stay looking like it does when it's freshly poured and broomed. That fresh concrete color is nice.
I suppose it could if you kept sealer on it.
As always, nice looking work. I did enjoy learning what the inspectors look for, too...
Glad you enjoyed it
When the inspector leaves I would widen the approach anyway
I wish
Great work as always! David, have you ever done any concrete work like a skate park bowl or quarter pipe etc..? It looks like that type of work would be crazy hard..
Yes a skate park but the ramps were prefabricated
This video was very useful ....... Thx for posting! 😊
When the inspector has more pens in his pocket than knowledge in his head. 🤗
He was pretty knowledgeable, and he didn't ask anything unreasonable.
I really appreciate your excellent commentary. The what's being done, the whys, and the hows, and your mentioning of all the specific tools, their features and sizes.
When do you start the stamping and how much open time do you generally have before you can no longer stamp the concrete ?
Every job is different on timing. It's all by feel.
TY
Your attention to detail and thorough way of explaining is fantastic. I don’t know much about concrete but I find your videos relaxing. What straw hats do your crew wear?
I have them made
@@OdellCompleteConcrete right on. Thanks for the response. I’m interested if you feel like name dropping the company.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete For anyone wondering, they’re available on his website. It would be nice to have a plain colored option but I do admire any patriotism. I’d still sport your company logo, even if it was plain.
I am trying to learn as much as possible about the RIGHT way to replace a concrete driveway. I will be needing a new one in the very near future. Unfortunately I am not in your area to benefit from your fine services. I understand that every state, county and city has their own requirements. Thank you for sharing this great video and your explanation of the entire process.

The Inspector is inspecting this job twice. Once in person and again when he gets notified of the video getting posted.
Thats true
fly ash is usually removed because it can have unknown out gasing properties ... some of those may be extremely lethal as well .. all it adds is aggregate and basic stone does that better and with KNOWN effects
Sounds good
Building Inspectors are the IRS of construction. A real headache and pain in the @$$.
this Inspector was a good one
If building inspections weren't done, there wouldn't be a single structure in this country that's safe to occupy. Corporations and contractors will cut every corner they can legally get away with cutting. You wanna live in a cardboard box so you don't have to deal with inspections? Move to a country without enforced building codes, see how long you survive.
He’s just doing his job, he seemed really chill too
This inspector seemed really laid back compared to many building inspectors … I personally Think they do a good job and they keep many from doing some shady work
They’re just doing their job and enforcing the government codes. How about stop being a prick and take the issue up with the right person instead of hassling someone who has no control over the rules
I could care less about concrete but appreciate the hell out of watching a true professional and artist of their trade. 👍
Me too
TY
The next door houses aeem to have a continuous drop kerb across both properties, so why not an extra few feet for this property?
Good point
“That’s what they voted for” 😂🤣
Vote it
I want to meet the idiot that said "hey let's make a municipal code that people can't widen their driveway approach"... Because reasons. Then I want to meet the idiot that agreed with him.
What are you using for your form at the approach ? In the video it looks like it's plastic. Love watching your work.
Yes it is recycled plastic
This inspector does not know his municipal codes! You can widen your apron-driveway approach. You just have to justify it and submit a plan for approval. It does not have to go up for a vote!
Ever City is different
This dude was pissing me off. He didn’t sound knowledgeable
@@OdellCompleteConcrete wrong. I know Ted and he is a jerk.
Anyone who wears a mask in the open air deserves skepticism.
I’m going to be honest, he didn’t really sound confident in what he was saying. Kinda sounded like he was just guessing on a bunch of stuff. He should have gone and looked it up and given the correct answer 👍
Wow, awesome skills. enjoyed watching and listening to the how's and why's along the way. great vid.
