I am planning to do a room addition myself and this two part video had tons of valuable information. Love your work, great content on your channel, just all around good information and entertainment! 👏👏👏👏
great
Good luck
This video and the one before it help me to decide that I can build a small starter home then build an add-on. Not so afraid now. Thx
Great

I like watching pros do concrete. You make it look easy. I have done some around my house and it is hard. It never came out looking as good as yours.
Practice practice practice
Love all your detail explaining, found your channel just a few months
Thank you, great video David

Satisfy deez nuts
I like in your videos when you say sometimes certain things are not necessary but you do it because it looks better or will be stronger etc thats a sign of a tradesman who cares about the job and not just getting it done to make a buck
TY
The details
Beautiful work 🤙🏽

It’s all about timing.. thee most important thing he said in this video.
Bingo
nice work

Appreciate your videos..GC in NorCal....Still learning. Dig the 2-sided trowel...gonna pick me up one soon. Just curious what do you look for when YOU are ready for YOUR final hard trowel? You have a great eye for free-handing that screed to get a level slab! BTW...thanks for keeping the AB's plumb and the nuts clean...we appreciate it.

OOOOOOOOOh Yahhhhhh Part2

Nice

Great video.
In SW Florida where I’m going to build, they typically pour a footing then use 3 courses of CMU and a slab on top to form a foundation. I’m thinking about using cast in place for everything. My question, is it possible to cast the footing and the stem wall at the same time then pour the slab after the plumbing?
Yes
No 5 👍
Sweet video... Again!
your back, I miised you
TY
Hi I’m new to your channel. But very impressed! It’s nice to see a professional! Quick question. I’m from San Antonio, Tx and in the footings we require stirrups. Are you familiar with that install and y’all do not require them?
stirrups can be mounted to the bolts,
CONCRETE TRUCKS DONT BRING CONCRETE THEY BRING STRESS 🤣🤣🤣👍
OSS
Thanks for the videos. Is 2" below slab height just for stucco houses? I am pouring a sidewalk down the side of my house, and due to the grade there is one small portion that will come within about an inch of the top of the slab, the rest will taper down to 3" below. My house is not stucco but has wood siding. Learning a lot from your channel, glad I stumbled across them.
It really depends on the weep screed heights
thanks for the video, How long do you wait for the concrete to cure before you start the framing process?
Three days
Big blue all the time
OSS
Thanks Odell. Can you please tell me the steps to take before undertaking a home addition like this.
A engineered drawing
Great information video! How long did this take from removal of grass to removal of forms?
3 days
Thank you for the Q&A. I always find this intriguing.
MR ODELL & TIMOTHY WE MISS THE OLD INTRO SONG BEFORE THIS ONE 😔
Good job I’m new to your channel I like what you do I will be contacting you in the future to poor a driveway for me 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌️

I'll be on standby
What hand held magnesium float would you recommend David ?
Excellent work from Scotland 🏴
I like the wood hand floats
Odell Complete Concrete
Thanks. Watched few videos on your channel some fantastic work going on. 😎👍🏻
Could you tell me what you'd need to do along this process of the two videos to insulate this foundation? Would you only be insulating on top of the sand with insulation board? Or would you suggest insulating above the concrete slab under other flooring?
Probably on top is best
Mr Odell, question for you please. What is this “you-fer” ground rebar that you referred to a couple of times? Code required? Purpose? Thanks for such excellent videos!
its a type of ground.
There are many types of grounding rods.
Here in Central Florida for bonding a footer steel rebar we use "J-Jr's" grounding electrode clamps that are direct concrete burial rated.
Excellent video as always!

Another awesome job.
QUESTION : Why not just weld the bolt's to the rebar to keep them from moving.
California Building Codes + Local city Building Codes. California has some very Strict Building Codes.
The rebar may move also
@@hardcore8494 so they rather have the bolt moving around instead being welded to prevent moving yeh ok. Move along i live in California and I'm about to start building my house and California is fine with welding the bolt to the rebar to prevent movement
@@OdellCompleteConcrete thank you for the response another awesome job.
@@RHEC1776 Hahaha. Thank You for your comments. I Appreciate it. Have a Great day.
When doing a foundation pour do you not have to use the vibrater machine to make the concrete settle better?
not with this mix design
@@OdellCompleteConcrete whats the mix of the concrete? Is it concrete mix with 10 mm aggregate and 60 or 70 megapascal (mpa or psi) ?
@@tchallaudaku2130
2500 psi
I can imagine, that this doesn't need to hold up a skyscraper. Just some wooden framing, insulation, drywall and outside cladding. You can almost lift a corner of such building by hand :-)
@@Engineer9736 By hand haha. You can lift 2 sheets of drywall by hand. The foundation design comes down to the density of the ground.
Hi Mr. Odell, I have a similar project coming up where I'm adding a parking slab to my existing concrete driveway. However, I'm confused about one thing. You poured 12 yards into a monolithic style slab with integral footers. The footers appear to be 18-30 inches wide and 24 inches deep. My question is, with footers so large what possible structural purpose can the dowels that you drilled into the existing building be serving? I'm sure you wouldn't waste the time on the dowels unless you felt they provide some function. But I cant figure what that purpose is. Thanks.
Connects the two structures together
When do you think you'll be back to this site for the side walk, Dave?
3 weeks
Hi, David, I just wonder you guys are usually using wooden sticks or the steel one. Wooden ones looks light and easier to use, our company uses steel sticks and every time I feel very tough to hammer them down and pull them out
There 4' long steel stakes.
Wood stakes at 3/4" width and 4' long are very week
I did not see any use of a jitterbug / vibrator for the pour. Is that customary for a foundation like this ? I did see one of the team doing some spotting once the forms were off. Was that to fix air pockets ? Thanks J K
No tap or vibrator needed for this mix design.
yes a little sacking here and there
Could a 6 gauge bare wire be run and tied to the rebar below grade and brought out to a grounding rod ?
Yes
I’m always imagining doing this all myself, but i’m afraid that the timing parts are a bit difficult if you’ve never done it. Such project is too expensive to mess up.. It’s like baking sandwhiches, the first time you bake it to coal, second time you are checking 3 times too early if it’s ready to flip, third time you get it right.
I concur
How much does something like this cost? Just a range. Thanks.
5000
Question-Do you sometimes get a load of concrete in that has been mixing too long? If so, how do you handle the pour differently and do you have to mitigate issues after/during drying?
Your work time is a lot less then normal.
The best thing you can do is send the load back and get a fresh load
So say that didn't happen, and the concrete guy poured it, finished it and it is pretty rough. Is the concrete also more frangible or otherwise problematic in quality?
any difference if it was to be a multistory addition? rebar, footings, etc..
Yes everything get about 30% bigger
Do you ever use a bump cutter on the slabs?
What's that
were the bolts ever removed and does that promote cracking of the concrete?
The bolts will hold the new building there
We do footing
Then brickwork to make a box
Wire mesh
Pour concrete in box
I guess it’s more economical but not as strong as your foundation
Are you putting multi storey ?
Single story in earth quake area
Don't you need to put drain pipes in the ground around the extension? I guess weather is to dry in Socal for that to be needed?
Your right
Question: The trucks will usually have leftover concrete in them, I have been told that they require you to take it all. Where do you put any excess concrete? Or, do I have information wrong?
You have the wrong info.
It's all reused except the cement
Did you use fill sand or washed sand for the vapor barrier?
Washed
Is there a reason why on some room additions you dig a footing next the the existing wall while on others you don’t?
Depends on the building design
Here in the UK, there'd probably have been 100mm (4") of Polystyrene (Kingspan type) insulation under the slab. Does your climate not need insulation under the floor?
Beach weather everyday
Regarding the rebar you said that was a ground rod that was connected to all the steel, it must be a code req to ground the metal, if so, how would electricity ever come into contact with the rebar grid if it’s encased in concrete ? I don’t get it. Great video.
through the concrete in to the ground
Odell Complete Concrete I hear you but dried concrete doesn’t conduct electricity to the rebar to ground (earth). I see why buildings that are made of steel are purposely tied to grounding rods, to give lightening strikes a path to ground versus thru people, but grounding rebar to a ground bar in buried concrete makes no sense. Maybe someone can explain.
Hi, why don’t you use a power trowel ?
Best regards from France
Small area
i have a front porch that is half the length of my home.. i want to extend it so that it is from corner to corner of my house then have a roof put on. I was told i can not extend my porch with out taking out the top of the orignal porch and then pouring a whole new top or pouring another top over the existing slab. Is this true.
depends on the Engineer.
Do you have any cost breakdown and an estimate of what something this size would cost?
6500
when do you typically use fiber mesh and what are the advantages of using it?
Helps prevent shrinkage cracks, Nice to cut the next day without chipping.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete you're the man Odell
I did massive generator pads like this. I have a bunch of pictures of how I did the haunch with stay form and stone with a double mat of #6 rebar. If your interested I can email the pictures to you.
Awesome work.
Sure send the pics to DavidOdell@OdellCompleteConcrete.com
I'm sure Fort Knox Gold depository isn't built this way
Probably not
There isnt anymore Gold since the Bretton-Woods act. The deep-state have stolen it to finance their lifestyle. lol
Overkill for sure.
Whats the purpose of trowling so much? just better results? less cracking?
both
I thought you mentioned a brick ledge but I don’t see one? Is it very thin?
No but it was an option
How long before you pulled the metal stakes? Thanks!
2.5 hours
@@OdellCompleteConcrete thank you, sir.
What form oil do you prefer?
I like my own recipes best. My used motor oil Mobile one 100% synthetic mixed with a little diesel or gas
Dave, we've established in previous videos that the man running the "Funny Float" must crack wise while running it to be effective but in the event he's not funny, does that affect the finish or longevity of the concrete? And if so, is that a fireable offense?
I think it will be Ok in this situation
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Excellent, I was just curious.
do you really have to add a footing ?i want to expand my patio attached to my house foundation but just wondering if i really have to dig all of that or can i add a slab?
Footing is for bearing walls
@@OdellCompleteConcrete oh , so that you can add walls later , if its a open patio is not needed unless is a post for the roof correct?
will part 3 be the sidewalk for this project?
I suppose your right
Why were those bolts left sticking out?
To attach to the new house
15 YARDS? 12 of that went into that footing.
monolithic style
12 yards total
I know you like to do a lot of work by hand, but how come you don’t use a vibrascreed and and power trowel?
I would on a much larger job
what machine were you using to pour the concrete?
a concrete pump
Question from someone who is learning about concrete - I didn’t notice gravel before the slab pour. Why is that?
Not sure, I guess the what the plans called for
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I was mainly asking as I didn’t realize you could pour slab without gravel! Thanks!
Why is that foundation so thick is going to be for a two story room?
Stay tuned for the latest and greatest!
I concur
wow! not bad uncle David 👍👍 But we have a problem here 🤫 the city inspector wasn't in your video 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes never seen the City inspector but I did check with the deputy inspector to see if he wanted to be a movie star, he declined . Kind of camera shy.
What's the purpose of a footing?
Hold weight and stop concrete from moving
David what city was this in
Anaheim
"That's why they're funny."
- David Odell
Yes
where i’m from that’s called a whip
Do you not vibrate the concrete down in the form?
Not with this mix design
Odell Complete Concrete ok👍
I see you doing great jobs! Nice to see people that knows what they are doing!
I used to be a contractor, and you are doing some really nice work.
Some would not work here in Sweden, where it is so cold most of the year!
Here we need to do everything extra strong, because everything will freeze and crack, and lift!
And concrete driveways is very rare. Here you often see some kind of brick work or asphalt!
But I have always liked the concrete, because you can do so much with it!
Nice video sir!👍
when did you change your theme song?
a couple months ago
Mr. O. I believe this is called a "monolithic" pour? If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me there. Just building knowledge, if you have time can you briefly explain why no joints are needed here? Is it because it won't be holding something like a car?
If it does crack it wont matter because the steel will hold it in one place
Yes monolithic
@@OdellCompleteConcrete thanks!
Was this a monolithic slab
Sure is
@@OdellCompleteConcrete thanks for the reply, I enjoy your Channel and great information you give.
