I’m really amazed by the Odells. They are not only providing a great service to their community, but to the rest of the world. I have been watching this channel for some time now and I’m thousands of miles away. In fact I’m in another continent. Yet, I and a couple of my friends benefited a great deal of the free experience and information that Mr Odell and his son are generously offering to the world. Unfortunately, I don’t know the Odells on a personal level nor I met any of them. I really don’t know how to express my appreciation to this kind, generous family. 👍🏻 Definitely will pay you a visit when I visit California.
Sounds good I look forward to meeting you and appreciate the comment about us!
I agree but I have reached out to mr Odell about some work and seems crazy crazy busy which I understand just a little communication with potential clients to let know if your available or not
That wall really opened up that area beautifully!
👍👍👍
I think so too!
You and your crew do beautiful work!! I'm always amazed at your videos.
You take pride in your work and it definitely shows in the final product. Wonderful job!

Back at it again! Thanks for posting us with your content. I don’t know how you do it. But it is impressive to be able to see what you do at work and edit and post regularly. I lose time just recording clips of work completed. Not to mention explain the work or editing later and then adding voice overs. Good job guys!
The trick is two sons.
Every time I watch one of your videos I say to myself, that job cannot be outdone!! That was the most impressive work I’ve watched you guys do, then you put out a new video and I’m back to square one all over again, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you guys do reeaallly good work!
Awesome
TY
I lay pipes dig 3 houses a day PIPES LAID TOO. Portuguese do not play lol
Your son and your employees are freaking great workers. Give them all a raise as they deserve it. Not many are willing to work as good as they all do now days. Keep them all around and you’ll keep more business then you ever dreamed of. Keep up the fabulous work!!!!
Yeah going to need to give them all a raise after this project!

Another great video 📹 Mr O'Dell
Appreciate it 👍
Great job very helpful I give you million 👍 like
I don’t mean to make lite of the hard work you all put in but The transformation is always great to see. Can’t wait to see what comes next of the backyard
Pavers are coming next
This was awesome to watch. Very tricky for sure. If I were the homeowner I would be over the moon at the finished product. My mom has a side yard she wants concreted, so I'm definitely interested in doing something like this with the drains.
Great idea

Another great job

Great video, 👍 looks like the weather is nice
South cali is always nice just expensive 😆
Hi David I really enjoy your videos been watching you for about 6 months now and saw all your videos. You are very precise and really no what your doing. Educational and does a great job . Just read your bio from the la magazine and commented there to. Keep up the good work. Great videos filming to.
Wow, thank you
Awesome quality work gents keep it up 💪🏾🤙🏾
Appreciate it!!
love these videos!
Ty
nice job
Nice!
im no pro and i have to lay concrete paths all around my house as the original ones were laid above the damp proof course. your videos have helped me so much! i feel confident after binge watching your channel
Thanks for sharing
Wonderful job!
Thank you! Cheers!
thats some hard work! looks fantastic
Thanks a lot!
I'm glad y'all kept in the video the part where the joint was missed by the gas line. You could have easily edited it out. The fact that you left it in tells me that you care about quality and don't mind admitting that something was initially overlooked but ultimately corrected to perfection. Great looking job 👍
Good point.
TY
Excellent work, beyond exception. What is a weep screed you ask? Well, it is a piece of metal flashing that is set at the bottom of the exterior walls of your home. Its main job is to pull the moisture out of the walls and provide an outlet for it to drain out.
Beautiful work!
Ty
Great video. Similar to a project I plan on doing to my garage. Pouring a skirt around it for drainage. As well as rebuilding the garage and new foundation. Just waiting for lumber prices to stabilize.
Good luck!
You guys do some clean work 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thanks 💯
The curb drill is brilliant.
I concur
Good job Caesar
For sure

Inspired by you - thank you! I want to make myself some steps on a dirt slope, incorporating solar lights, water drainage channels and a barrow/bicycle runway to boot. 😊😊😊
Nice

Looks good! May I suggest two things? Looks like the drains on the side have low and uneven spots. This caused clogs. On the tunneling, get the piece you’re gonna put under, and cut it down to extend just a little… then get a pressure washer for the inside tunneling and tap it into place. I hope that makes sense . Works really well
You down with O.C.C !!!!

This is why you have pros do a concrete job when it is close to the foundation of the house. If water flows back into the house and gets trapped you will have major problems...in the south, trapped water + foundation = termite infestation. A neighbor did a DIY slab patio and 3 years later had huge termite problems inside the house. I now live in the South but lived in CA for 30 years and settling can be an issue when they get the monsoon rain...all of sudden there's erosion issues. Your guys did a LOT of digging...do miss having access to guys that are hard workers.
Excelente trabajo felicidades 👊 👷 💯 🧱

Good evening from Ireland
Good evening 🌇
Nice flatwork. Watch the 4 corners in the retaining wall.
Great work. When routing the pipe for the drains when is it necessary to wrap or sleeve the pipe?
Excellent video and craftsmanship! I realize you don't have a freeze concern but would you place concrete against the retaining wall or recommend an expansion joint for colder climates?
Probably not
Thirty is not Tet yet! Not being friends is not the end of the world
Another great job. As we hit the summer, do you ask the owner to water the concrete for proper curing? How long? We just had ours just poured and I noticed after wetting it, that there is crazing on the broom finish. Concerned wetting was too late and if we added wet look sealer, it could even expose it even further.
Crazing is getting very common due to bad concrete
Nice
Thanks
Great work. Im just wondering how much time you wait for the bleed water to dry out before finishing, roughly?
1 hour
The laborers that put that weep screed on were probably a few beers in by the time they got to that house.
Yeah sounds about right
could you make a video explaining the use of the bull float and the funny float and how they differ and the result each one gets.
that is the longest drill bit i have ever seen!!!!!
he really saved the day though eh
For sure
Hitting 90's in Phoenix. Sucks that summer is getting here already.
Batten down the hatches
A clean out would be nice to put in. I watch the plumbers and they never have a clean out and have to cut out existing pipes.
damn, was hoping to see it gets pressure washed and water comes down those drains. Beautiful work.
Me too
You should used a FRP trench, that would be easier for the home owner to maintain.
Channel drain
So there is no need got expansion foam join between wall and slab?
Have you ever tried using soapstone for marking instead of pensil?
yes
When using plywood to kneel down on do you put something on the bottom of the plywood?
no, its raw wood
Hello David, if you had to recommend one type of nylon brush for my concreting work what sort would you say, a soft, medium or hard type for a nice neat anti slip finish. I mainly do yards and paths, thankyou Atb 👍
Soft to medium
I’ll reinstall that weep screed g lol 😂 talk about flood problems lol it’s good you checked and didn’t blindly follow the weep screed
For sure
The work is perfectly done but you have to put nylon sheet below reinforcement to not allow the concrete water go throughout the ground and causes low WC ratio and then the cracks will appear
Never heard of that

Loved the earthquake tip! Luckily not required on my continent!
True
Great job you should have ran the drain pipe passed we're you tied into the rain gutter with a y pass the cement you poured for future drain pipe to tie in
Good idea
Great video as always how do u break the existing concret when it against the house To get a clean pour?
Or during the demo of concrete it usually breaks off clean from the house ?
Concrete doesn't bond
Ty ur the best !
Make a video on what you do with the old concrete
Sure
I notice your son keeps using steel rebar, does he not share your high opinion of Owins-Corning fiberglass rebar? or is there some applications where steel is still preferable? just curious
Steel is just more easily accessible, they don’t sale the fiber glass at Home Depot’s yet
no expansion material on either side?
You keep talking about weep screed, and I have never heard of that before watching your videos. Searched to find out what it is. Is this a feature specific to stucco houses? And maybe slab foundations? In my area it's typically crawl space foundation construction and we don't backfill to the siding.
Where I live, we stucco over CMU and do not use them either. Older homes, such as my own, also have crawl spaces - but the majority are slab on grade. We also get lots more precipitation than they do in California.
The weep screed allows water to drain out from behind the wall if water or were to get there.
Running into this issue did you guys do it for free or did you guys propose a change order?
free
This I amazing work! What does something like this cost? Side yard with Similar dimensions ?
2500
Thank you!
Can you share the name/style of block you used for the retaining wall?
It’s in part one
Just wondering if you used any foam strips against the house and the walk way? I sometimes see you use it in other videos, just curious about what applications it's best for. Thanks.
In this case no, we wanted the lock in the retainer wall
I am curious to know how much your business has improved from posting TH-cam videos. My business is completely word
Of mouth. And I see the future of every business is now a media company as well as their general service. Any tips on getting started on TH-cam. Maybe a video for sub contractors/ general tradesmen on how you’ve manage.
Good idea
TY
You seem to do a lot of these side/backyard patio/ driveway jobs. Is that by design....more $ there, or other reasons ?
Great looking work, for sure !
Thx for the vids
Just was part of the design the side yard wasn’t draining properly thx for watching
Good jod amigo
could y you tell me what can of level laser you use and where can i buy one
thanks/
Diriangen
Dewalt
Never mind see them
why you using steel, thought you liked the fiberglass?
Preference
how is water discharged off of the retaining wall? where will the water go?
Into the ground or drains
Can you cover how much these slabs cost 💲 I know there’s a lot of factors but just to have a ball park ?
4500
That weep screed was installed on a Friday lol or on a Monday after cinco de Mayo hahah
Or after they lost there Johnson
Where do you take all that broken and removed concrete slab?
Recycling center
What tool are you using at 3 minutes
It's a laser level. The base puts off a 360 degree laser and the thing in his hand picks up the laser signal.
A long shot, but I assume Wildomar, CA is a bit out of your service range?
What is the size of the job?
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I have a 25'x35' garage floor that I assume needs to be torn out and redone. My goal is to put a car lift in it, but there are currently massive cracks in the slab, 2 of them spanning the entire width of the garage. It had no relief cuts in it and my guess is the middle sagged and cracked. I'd be surprised if the floor didn't need to be torn out based on the cracks alone, but I also don't know how thick the original pour was.
Drill some holes and check the depth.
Wonder behind that wall is there a drain also.
yes, French drain

Is this type of job strongly discouraged for the DIYer without concrete experience beyond watching Odell Complete Concrete videos?
Yes

Estimate for this job???
Expended hours looking for a good price to do a similar run in my house; I am not using rebar or any reinforcement in the slab which is 25 ft long by 7 wide. Did noticed you did not used expansion joint for the house foundation or at least I did not see one; i using one strip only on the foundation side as house is from 1974. I do have a drain pipe run under it that will go under the driveway slab to later connect to main; no drains on the slab because after the slab done that area will be a side shed/ storage built. In my scenario, the property wall is cinder block 8 ft tall and it also closes the run at the front of the property so mine is only accesible from the patio; I can not use wheel barrows to haul cement from the street as at the other side of the property there is a disable truck parked on the side and there is no space for the wheel barrow to go through; so I was looking to pump the cement; my area is about 2.25 yards needed and that runs me close to 1K using a pump and hose; no amount of calls I could get better prices; minimum $450.00 for a short load truck and $400 cash for the pump was the best I could fine; that is $850.00, now the other way I have is manually; I would save about $200,00 if done myself but then I have to buy quickrate bags 4000 PSI, 60 pounds bags x 150 bags is about $650`$670.00 ( I already had the bags here and returned them because they started to go bad; they were dated since last September!) I would have to mix and pour by myself with literally no help; wife may be able to help me somehow but not much she can do and I am wondering and scratching my head if it is worth it or if I should try and set the short load with the pump rates! I do have a 6cu mixer for the job where I can mix 4 bags every time but being alone I would have to run the mix on the wet side to give me time to do all there is to be done and I probably would be better off doing it in 3 or 4 sections slabs at times; splitting the job in 3 or 4 days? To tell you the truth I am very confused which way should be better off in my situation; since I never done this type of job there is no easy answer!
Tough situation.
Sounds like alot of bucketing
