I don't know anything about cement, but that was awesome!! Love watching your videos. Just curious, in the diagram you where calculating how much concrete that you need to pour, when you bid, do you include the cost of material and labor as one bid number, or do you break it down for the customer? Thanks for teaching me something that the public school system didn't!! 😃👍
have you found any difference in brands of pure Portland? I know it has different types and you have mentioned the pre mix before. I am looking at a large, for a home owner, project and wonder if it would increase the quality if I looked for some Portland from masonry suppliers or would it be the same as the Portland sold by sack or quick Crete at the chain stores?
Odell Complete Concrete. thank you and I meant have you seen a difference between brands of Portland. not ready mix not different types but just Portland. in theroy type 1 or 2 Portland from x company should be the same as from y company.. have you seen a difference in brand? thanks again
It’s a continuation of the conversion tables.. So he had 84.77 cubic feet. But you needs to get to cubic yards (because you don’t order concrete in feet, but in yards.) So in order to do that, you must determine how many feet are in one yard, which is 3 ft. BUT, you DO NOT divide 84.77 by 3 (common mistake) but by 3 cubed (3x3x3).. which is 27 cubed, or cubic. Therefore you take 84.77ft cubed, divided by 27ft cubed, which gives you 3.13 YARDS (because the ft have now been canceled out and converted to yards). Hope that helps.
You guys are doing a great job educating those of us that want to know more about pouring concrete. Thank you!

Definitely not the video that I researched but I'm so glad I watched it. Very informative.
Great

Hey great update video. I'm learning a ton watching your channel!

This video is probably the best for showing why metric is more... comfortable.

Is this the same formula for orderin dirt?
Cool method , I draw the project on my sketchup pro and it immediately gives me the ft3 , all I have to do is divide it by 27 and voila
Sweet
Great job. Thanks man.

Thanks for this vedio 👏👏👏👏👍 I like it 👍

Great tip, thanks.

Did you use a computer program to draw up your plans? Should I learn how to use AUTOCAD?
Yes
@@OdellCompleteConcrete do you have a pic program you recommend?
I meant PC sorry. Not Pic

The pre mixes probably use portland

I just take sqft and divide by 81 for a 4 inch slab, 65 for a 5 inch and 54 for a 6 inch
True
Hi Mr. Odell hope your doing great, i wanted to ask you, whats the best book to study for a GC LISCENSE???? THANKS
Good question, I don't know
What do you charge for laying block? 6” block. Thanks!
100.00 per ft. 6' high
Wheres the the other bid numbers at like cost of rebar, forms, excavation, use of machinery, and labor?
Good question
What page of the book has that information?
Good question
What’s the standard square footage price for 4,000 with wire
7.00
nice update vid :]

Where do you get the 27 cubic?

This looks like an old video, but don't complicate the estimate with so many formulas. I'm sure by now you found easier ways by now.
Yes
Look and go for it
We all learned this in high school but every1 forgot but me i said pie r sqd
Me to I
254.34 divided by 81=3.14
