When the gate was open and I saw the neighbors downspout pointing directly to the fence I knew what the issue was. Very nice job, once again!
Observant
TY
Yes, I noticed that downspout, too. Having that problem with a neighbor who doesn't know when they bought their house, their addition is on my property line and he recently put a new downspout draining down under my wood fence. Now they did the driveway and took part of my land. Can't wait for the surveyors. If you don't jump on it as soon as you see encroachment, title companies can be problematic when trying to sell.
The finished look with fence and shrubs was awesome David.
TY
Always rather impressive work. Even more so because you often solve problems the home owner was not even aware of. Nicely done.
Thanks

I'm watching the channel for long time and I really like that you take all kind and size of jobs. That to me shows good character and a hard-working attitude. Also, I can't thank you enough for these videos.
Your welcome
TY
water drainage problem is officially back to the neighbor
Bingo
Looks to me like this was done in spite of the neighbor. You could have easily added a drain pipe for him in the new dam wall. Sad.
Have a similar problem.thanks
@nakedtommy40 actually it is against the law to deliberately force water to drain onto an adjacent property so the neighbors could have had a much bigger problem. A legal one.
@@nakedtommy40 You shouldn't deal with other people's problems on your land.
Pumping in the concrete is the way to go, saves time and labor. Another informative video, thank you.
I concur
TY
Just what I needed to see as I'm preparing to do the same thing. Thank you.
Your work really shows the skill level… from someone who knows nothing about concrete I can say its absolutely beautiful!!
TY
For noticing
Like how you’re not afraid to pick up a shovel as opposed to letting one of your employees do it.
I like to get it on
Leaders vs. slackers.
Looked awesome as usual. Only one hour into it and concrete was already poured I was thinking omg thats fast! Pro job gets done on time. Impressive to say the least!

Drummer
The dirt in all these construction videos I watch always look like such nice dirt. No rocks, and comes up so easy. My dirt has countless rocks and roots and compacted clay. I’d love to experience what it’s like to sink a shovel into the ground and not be stopped 2 inches deep by a massive boulder.
Yes this soil is nice here
I wish you were a contractor in my City. I have a drainage problem, a neighbor build up their property about 6" higher than mine and all their surface water collects on my property and the wooden fence is leaning to my side. It looks like this could be a solution to my problem. If I could find a contractor like you I would be less anxious in the Spring when the Alberta snow begin to thaw. Thanks for another informative video.
Yes this will do the trick.
TY
i love watching this channel. makes me want to go make some concrete and mess up my garden
Go for it

Why I love pouring concrete in Orange County: No freeze/thaw cycles. How I love working in Southern California (except the commutes); we're spoiled. Forty-five years as a carpenter/GC/CM/superintendent, 99% in SoCal.
The covid has really cut down on traffic
Me as a Civil engineer working in Dubai find your videos very useful and informative. Keep up the good work👍
Glad to hear that.
TY
Boundaries always cause problems and the finished fence + trees looked so much nicer
I concur
Good fences makes good neighbors!
For sure
final finishing with trees was beautiful.
I concur
Awesome to see the recent photos at the end! I'm sure its extra work waiting or going back to add them. It is a really powerful addition.
Actually the Owner sent them to me
Jeez, I wish the dirt where I live was this easy to dig up. Holy cow.
Yea this dirt was especially easy to dig. Not all places around here are easy as that
My mate did exactly the same as this job and when he had finished the neighbour took his fence down thus gaining about 8 inches down the full length of my mates garden. Some years later my mate built a double garage between his house and the fence but due to the lost 8 inches he could not use standard doors and had to buy specially made ones.
I build a lot of fence, I always tap on the post with my pliers as I'm leveling, that also prevents the post from moving after you walk away. Nice work.
I'll try that.
TY
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Basically a mini vibrator. :)
I’m in awe of how beautiful cement work is! Great job!
Thank you so much!
That man doesn't like his neighbor
- puts up another fence
- then puts up trees that will grow tall
Also builds his concrete slab higher so that any drainage pools, floods, or reverses back into their foundation.
Looks very good, I like it that it’s not run of the mill like everyone else has, a very nice overall finish and job, thanks for sharing this with us and igniting a spark that people who are thinking of doing something similar, all the very best wishes for 2021.....Phil
Thanks Phil, It is a good system for a fence
Odell, looks like you got the first gen Master Halco posts. I just set up a horizontal cedar fence with the second gen posts, and my front yard has a curb embedded like yours. I am not a pro, so I set the posts in holes with a partial fill and then came back and put up forms and poured the curb. All told, the curb was roughly 1 yard of white portland in a 4 parts 3/4, 3 parts sand, 1.5 part white portland mix, all mixed by hand in a 4 cuft mixer. It is probably a bit stronger than is needed for the use, but it was cold so the extra portland help us get some strength in it early. Definitely don't have your finishing skills, not sure how you make it look so easy. Thanks for posting all this great content.
Sounds like you got it done nicely.
TY
Great work that finish is priceless
Another great job done by Odell Complete Concrete! That concrete pad looks great and it will last a very long time!
TY
Nice job Dave,its good when.neighbors work together
I concur
This is exactly what I want to do between my driveway and my neighbours, who built their driveway 8 inches taller than mine. A fence would be nice too lol
It will work
God, I love these videos.
TY
All about getting the most out of your lumber, especially these days! Great idea with the oil/diesel mix spray. 🖖
Yes I think it makes sense
Well done video! No crazy weirdo music or irrelevant details.
TY
One place I lived neighbors across the street had a 25 ft. tall block wall from the 1970's between their property's. It was called a "spite wall" 😃
Twenty five foot block wall????????????????? That doesn't even sound safe and yet it's lasted almost 50 years?
Most municipalities have fence height restrictions in part, to prevent this kind of thing.
@@tii2015 - A big mote is an oxymoron. You should put in a moat instead.
Never laid concrete with that level of strength. Great to watch the operation
It's different and challenging
Great to see the fiberglass rebar. Wondering about other polymers also since is neat to see how materials like hemp, cordura at a range of denier, kevlar and other materials can be "wetted" with resin or whatever polymer. Why not the same with cement as the "wetting" agent? There's even blow up huts where you basically water the burlap cement impregnated material that has like a bouncy tent blower thats high power to keep inflated until set. Anyhow... tangent from the carbon fiber or other materials potential as rebar and mesh. Union job security, reinforced concrete integrity, cost or what? Thanks for sharing!
That blow up tent with resin sounds good, Maybe they can use that on Mars
Looks great and very satisfying outcome since the neighbor built their fence with the ugly side facing your customer's property.
A nice upgrade
Thanks and congratulations 🎈🎉🎊
TY
Curb looks great and fencing and landscaping do too!
Ty
Enjoyed the video. Could you help with some details please. You didn't explain removing the back form, how you use the metal fence post to put up the pickets, or how you got the rounded edge on the curb. Can you share info on that please. Thank you.
Great looking pour guys! You make it look too easy. No sweat involved with that line pump!
Correct
Hola me acabo de SUSCRIBIR este es el segundo video que veo y me encanta a pesar de la dificultad del idioma PEROOOO mirando bien se aprende. Gracias por compartir.👍👍👍🤗🤗💯💯💯
Gracias
Good work man. Reminds me when i use to pour mow srips for V track for rolling gates for them rich residential customers!
Yes
Awesome
Would it have been better if you placed the post in the enter of the curb, to prevent cracking one 1/3 of the curb? Just checking because this exactly what I want to do.
The after is great. New fence and trees are really nice. Have a great weekend.
You to
How do you know when you can strip the forms when pouring regular 4000 3/4? Is there a test I can give the concrete prior to striping forms early?
Thank you David
YW
LOVE watching your videos. Your work is top notch, once again props to you, sir!
TY
Забавное у вас армирование. Прям по земле заливаете. Красавчики )
Зато у нас любят песок сыпать на дно от которого больше вреда чем пользы.
Тут дома строят на каменных отвалах утрамбованных. Сначала насыпают горы камней, кладут коммуникации, трамбуют. Потом строят район. Там нет земли.
holy crap! that is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!!!!
Glad I could help!
Final product looks great. Very professional job.
Glad you like it!
Man has it all work ethic and skill
TY
We try and keep it real
So now the neighbors house has to deal with the water... love it
This life
That was awesome... Would've been cool to colab with the fence folks to get that time lapse footage as well...
True
"Step-down from the gate area..."
Very polite way to say, "Absolute trip Hazard."
Get it on
I've been a fan of all your work. I do have a comment though. Master Halco Postmaster fence posts are supposed to be embedded a minimum of 24 inches, and that's in the ground with a concrete footing and 6 inch gravel base below that. I've seen many, many times where mbedding a fence post only in an above ground concrete curb or wall results in the concrete cracking from the lateral stress on the posts from wind blowing on the fence. Might not be as big a deal when you don't have any frost heave in your soil, but I've always used 9 foot posts, 36 inches down in the ground. But where I live we do have frost heave and 50 mph winds... Bottom line is I would have used the longer Postmasters and a picket pounder to drive them deeper in below the concrete into the soil. It would have anchored your curb a little bit too.
Get it on
Im so impressed with everything...learning alot..
Great
looks sharp!!
Great job😁 I bet it's safe to say there's a neighbor problem 😁. That was a lot of fun off water.
Excellent job, looks amazing 😁
Yes it was,
TY
Wow, nice work! 18" depth?! That must've been a lit of digging. Owner put up a Beautiful fence too.
The dirt was very soft.
Nice fence.
Great Video. Very descriptive for DIYers. 👍
YW
TY
Cemex 👍🏼.. best concrete out there
I like it
Such an informative video and outstanding work! I’m looking to do the same thing but I’m concerned about it heaving with freeze/thaw. Did this customer just have a shallow frost line? Or is the depth unnecessary for a curb like this? Any info would be much much appreciated.
Southern CA.
Very nice work.
TY
Thumbs up from the U.K. that’s a neat job you’ve done there. Good commentary gives me ideas thanks! 👍🏴
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome job
Thank you! Cheers!
This would take me 5 months and 17 cases of beer.
Getting it on
Man this is what you called experience work💯💯
TY
Great job

Hell of a job, looks magnificent.
TY
You killed that curb. Awesome video you dah man
TY
We try
Excellent!
TY
I've been envisioning building a similar fence even down to the postmasters for a couple years and just happened across your video today. Are your postmasters just set to the depth of the curb, or do you have a deeper post hole that they sink into?? I can't tell from the video.
I want to make a low retaining wall, maybe 18", with some backfill on one side for a paver patio. I'm thinking your design is pretty close to what I'll end up with. Thanks!
Glad for some finished pictures! 👍
Thanks to the Home Owner
Great work.
Do you know what the source of the water was? Seems odd that water would be constantly leeching from the neighbor's backyard.
Water runoff from sprinklers or anything in the backyard
I wonder how that neighborhood felt that you built that slab higher than his. I can only imagine the flood it will cause on his backyard... there is nowhere for the water to go, but back into his property, especially with the step down he has on his side, hopefully he has less impervious backspace.. nice work though.
I don't know there backyard situation.
What a good neighbour he is ...building a dam to be sure that the water get stuck on his neighbour's house side...
Stud status
I tried the eco-friendly oils on a large job once... they didn't seem to release very well, even when the forms were soaked to the point they were dripping. I haven't tried canola (I've heard some people use it) but I've always had good luck with straight diesel and a little mineral oil.
That's a good idea.
I'll try that
David I would like to show you a couple of pictures. I have an area a little like this but need to get advice on a direction.
sure
Thank you for your videos. I've been learning so much from you. Why is it that no control joints are added to this wall? Does it not need it if wall is not attached to patio? Thank you
Good fences keep good neighbors.
You got that right!
GOOD JOB
TY
Nice work

How exact do property lines need to be? Those two homeowners must be very certain of themselves. Do you typically stay away from the line a few inches or just do what the homeowner tells you?
Nice grouting
TY
You do great work. Wish you were on the East Coast !!! Thank you Very Professional!!
Me too TY
Nice good job 👍👍👍
TY
No wire mesh or rebar? is it not needed? how to prevent cracking?
It has fiberglass rods in it.
Very nice job, I like to get in there and work with my employees also.
That's the secret to success
Don't know why this came up on my feed and I'm watching it.......... I live in a flat on the 20th floor!
Interesting
😂
David, did the owner set purlins in place from post to post ? ... I can't see a nail line anywhere
out of curiosity I watched your video. I seen Cemex (CX) is publicly traded.
I'm considering buying CX. At first glance it looks good.
Cement is a good investment
Great Job! It's a pleasure watching the real pros. :-)
TY
Fantabulous finish Sir ..
ty
Nice job. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
YW
Excellent work! How do you know when to strip the forms without in caving in on itself?
Practice
Great job! Thanks for the tips again!👍🏻
YW
full send bro never lift! great way to start the weekend!
You got that right!
Are you in an area with frost? Would it have been a good idea to run rebar through the curb so when it does eventually crack it stays together?
No frost in Southern California
Like always amazing work!!! How much would a curve like that cost? Just to get an idea
