Special thanks for explaining the situation with the dobies. As an interested DIY home owner, I have been watching and admiring your work and every episode for way over a year now (seeing such nice work seems to be addictive to me). Anyhow, the question about the lack of dobies and the rebar on the ground was always in the back of my head and I always wanted to ask you about it. But I have never asked, only because I have assumed that you had your good reasons, plus I was worried that my question could be misunderstood for me trying to be a smarty pants. Many thanks for bringing it up and explaining it so well and of course many thanks for making these videos and sharing your great work with us.
That was a beautiful concrete pour!!!!!!!! It’s crazy to look at the before shots to see how bad the old concrete was. You and your crew did a perfect job pouring, smoothing, and cutting the new concrete! I can’t believe how well that Dewalt cordless vacuum works with the concrete saw! There was no dust in the air!!!! Great work!!!!!!!
Hi David, I'm in the UK and I've learned so much from watching your videos. You're very humble and let your fantastic work speak for itself. The quality of filming and editing is improving all the time, especially with the drone footage. A big thanks from Mat in England 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Hey man thats really cool of you to mention/shout out the locals and their Business /names ... it really helps the community get back on their feet 👍 every little bit helps ! Good man 🤝🤝🤝
Thanks again for the video in school at NJIT for concrete engineering so i plan on working for myself one day doing concrete pours like this so thanks agian
not too many people have the coordination to kick screed along side another person. thats serious skill. Love the B4 & Aftr at the end, can really see & appreciate all the work involved. Nice n clean D!
Great as always Dave! You know what would be cool, if you had a DeWalt backpack vacuum attachment so you don’t have to move it at all. Just a thought, don’t even know if they make one though!
always impressed with the projects and the results and also impressed with how the editing, sound and whole channel is growing. great job everyone involved
@@OdellCompleteConcrete saw that shadow and rewatched to see it. very cool way to catch that angle. was wondering how the f did they get that then saw the shadow. veddddy cool move.
I wish you could come out to Colorado and fix my driveway, garage, and basement slab. The builder poured on a snowy day and all the concrete is uneven from the heat blankets they had to put over it.
Could you pour sections of concrete with rebar sticking out and pour a new section attached chef to the rebar on the end to continue a driveway if you did it alone?
What’s the difference between saw cutting the diamond pattern vs cutting it in while wet? I personally find when it’s cut in wet it looks more fancy lol but does it affect the actual structure of the slab?
When you cut the concrete while wet you only get one chance to get it right. If you wait a day or two, you put down chalk lines, which you can adjust until everything looks perfect. Then you cut.
Larry Keenan Actually if you wait more than a day it can crack the purpose of joints is to control cracks but saw cutting the next day like Odell does is crucial sometimes he even throws in a couple wet joints before cutting the next day but overall the difference is minimal work the same
Yes accuracy of placement is one benefit. A few more benefits. 1. small cut hold less water and dirt therefore no staining. 2. Easier to roll things over. 3. Less man power.
Excellent work!! Just out of curiosity, why wasn’t the visible cracked portion of the garage floor replaced? Seems the part that is visible should match the rest of the driveway. Thanks for the great videos!!!
Dave I loved the ending with the before and after. That would be especially nice on the bigger series. What type of blade do you use on your angle grinder?
this is one example as to why I don't like saw cutting. you can't switch your broom pattern at a joint. I would have done top half of drive one way and the "approach" the other. looks good tho
Top notch as always sir, thanks for posting! How does that saw run on stamped surfaces? I've been planning to buy one, but wanted to ask. About 80% of our work is stamped concrete. Thanks!
Having a before and after segment at end is a great idea
Expect one everytime!
Oh snap, the editing at the end of the video! Good job. Stepping up your game on the video edits.
Thank you, something I plan on implementing every video!

it's a pleasure to watch a team work sooo well together.
And do a great job
@@anthonybertone2336 true!
Team work is the most important thing
Fantastic job guys, looks great! And really like the outro with the before and after footage.
Thanks Willie I plan to do that for every project
still waiting for shirts that say "50% horse hair and 50% nylon broom for the best finish" :) Pretty much your tradmark'd line at this point, LOL
I really like it.
ill buy 1
Don't forget, "There's the funny trowel"!!
@@h2oskiaddict
That's another shirt
I love working with concrete
During the final power wash cleaning it was sweet to see the water run away from the garage and down the driveway. Mission accomplished!
Right on!

Bad time to pour

Looks amazing good job I like how your filming all the different angles it gives a better view 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼
We try to improve all the time

Excellent work!

House has some curb appeal now! :)
For sure
great content when you are a professional it all looks easy. That was cool a subscriber came out to help on the job.
Yes its always nice getting some guys out that want to get in on some action
Really nice video david! Great audio!
Great as always. I like the song at the end a lot.
Glad you enjoy it!
Even though the blue chalk has minimal staining you should use white chalk instead. Nice work though looks great 👍
Good idea
Another great job
I appreciate that
Sure wish you were in South Texas!!
Me too
1st Class Job! 👍👍

Well done project !

Nice job David again ,the concrete master to me m8 wish you could do my work in the uk.

Excellent work!! Just out of curiosity, why wasn’t the visible cracked portion of the garage floor replaced? Seems the part that is visible should match the rest of the driveway. Thanks for the great videos!!!
The garage floor is next
When you get this done by Odell, its telling your neighbors to step up their concrete game.
I concur
TY
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Good job! I like it
I'm glad you like it
Dave I loved the ending with the before and after. That would be especially nice on the bigger series. What type of blade do you use on your angle grinder?
4.5" diamond blade
Best in the west!
OSS
Is it possible to get beveled edge radius with a saw cut?
Yes it is. Its a different blade called a crack chaser.
this is one example as to why I don't like saw cutting. you can't switch your broom pattern at a joint. I would have done top half of drive one way and the "approach" the other.
looks good tho
There's no approach
Sal is Awesome. Would like to meet him some Day.☝🤗
Sure
Nice👍👍👍
Thanks for the visit
So the rebars are going to rust at those control joints?
We have good slope.
No standing water.
full send bro never lift! got them skills to pay them bills
Get it on
Good Job 👏😎
Thanks ✌
Hello from Luxemburg.....👌👍👍👍💯💣💜💜💜
Good morning!
Them Olin pumps will pump just about any mix?
And low slumps
Great job what name brand is the diamond blade on the Medusa saw? Is it good for same day cuts or would you want to some back the next day to cut it ?
The next day is best. Skil
“Just the way I do it is the best way” yup sounds like my foreman
Makes sense
The owners should have payed you to cut the garage concrete flush with opening...but anyways another great job👍
When we remove the garage floor
Hello David
I really enjoy your videos,real craftsmanship,I was wondering where can I purchase the Medusa cutting attachment?
Skil
@@OdellCompleteConcrete thanks
What kind of concrete do u use, I mean blend? Very nice job like all yrs vid...! greetings from Italy!
3/8" rock, sand and cement
It's a beauty.

Hey Odell, that guy fix his EYBROWS just for you. lol

Sorry man, it was just a joke.
Top notch as always sir, thanks for posting! How does that saw run on stamped surfaces? I've been planning to buy one, but wanted to ask. About 80% of our work is stamped concrete. Thanks!
Depends on the pattern?
I think for most patterns it should do well
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Great, I figured it would on most patterns. Thanks guys, and keep up the outstanding work!
very good
Thanks
How much mesh did you use?
Rebar
@@OdellCompleteConcrete no. How many pounds of mesh did you use?
How many yards of concrete?
20
how much does it cost to have that pump?
200
@@OdellCompleteConcrete thanks!
200.00 for 3 yds
@Mark Oliver
Yes its a real good price
Get some!
You got it
Where you located at?

Nice

Nice job, was your pump guy, the guy from best in the west ?
No he's from best in the world
@@OdellCompleteConcrete lol that was good... job looked perfect great attention to detail.
Great work, sure that concrete can survive a zombie apocalypse
Guaranteed
Nice 🍺

When I use fibers and brush Finnish it looks terrible
Depends on the type of fiber and the slump you pour at.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Iv used ones look like cotton shirt and some different thickness of fibers usually pour at a 5 or 5.5
I was never taught with fiber only rebar. So this summer we tried fibers and I wasn't happy
