As a mathematician, I appreciate your use of the circumference formula. Great work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Math works
Exceptional work Dave and crew!! And thanks for the shout out 👍🏼
Hi Chloe
Thanks for the work
This dog is a mixture of 50% horse hair and 50% nylon.
Odell says this in all most every video
@@tomroe2861 hence the joke
SOunds about right
🤣🤣🤣
50% unicorn*
I’ll tell you what these guys are true professionals !
TY
Another excellent job!
Great work as always, never miss a video!
Much appreciated!
Nice gonna build one for my mom she always wanted one like that gonna use use this style u did nice work
Go for it!
Two days ago I pour 26x26 feet garage slab. Thanks guys you made me doing it.
Great
Отличная работа! 👍👍👍

Thanks Odell!I like you video.I like you voice and nice explain you job.
So nice of you
I've never worked with concrete before but as soon as the winter is over in Ohio I plan to do a 4ft tall 10ft wide half pipe out of concrete so I've been watching your videos to get some schooling.
Sounds great!

That’s a big firepit😂, good job love your work
I concur
"you could use it as a sundial too..."😂 What's even funnier is the floating unicorn pool toy in the background. It seemed to turn to face the workers at the spa pad then turned to look at you guys...
It has a mind of its own
I swear every time I dream of a project for my home, you come out with the perfect video for it. Are you some kind of psychic? Great videos as always. Could you recommend a place to purchase some good concrete tools?
Sure

I was recently thinking about making a rail for a planned to be radio direction finding and tracking 10ft satellite dish I got for free. Basically, I want to use a Dobsonian telescope mount design so I can balance the dish for the fastest response time since least load on the tracking drive train. So, for the horizontal/azimuth sweep, I was thinking using a free trampoline as the rail. Then more recently found a gentleman referenced on a Nighthawkinthelight video who made a PVC pipe roller coaster for his grand kids. Since I have PVC, I thought why not do this and contacted the gentleman. Really helpful and gave me some ideas and replied about my thought of filling the PVC with cement to make even stronger. He thought will make more brittle though will most likely be suitable in my situation. Well, most recently, I thought when bending the PVC using a center rod stake driven in the ground and a long 2x4 or pipe with two forks at the end to mold the either hot water or hot sand filled PVC pipe..., why not just make a section of reinforced cement some perimeter width as the rail and use like a 90 degree PVC elbow bottom as a form for the cement to make a concrete trough that the swivel caster rides in. This would save on having to turn the caster to the pipe radius since the caster would just have the two sides of the wheel rolling in the concrete groove/trough. If for some reason isn't smooth enough and performs bad, I can just add the PVC or metal rail.
Seems like an easier way to make and will be more stable since more mass. Thinking I can make a wooded or ideally metal frame for the whole thing to still be portable also. Where maybe if I do fix to the ground, I can use like Diamond Piers or similar where I just drive four pipes for each pier used to connect to the ground if not just always in one location eventually. I plan to move and ideally make more in the future at the other place.
Figured I'd pick your brain since you're the Pro and I'm on the multiple head traumas budget plan so the budget it tight. Trying to rescue and re-use, re-purpose and re-store Made in the US equipment also. Thinking I'd want to pour this using crushed lime since outside also in Michigan weather. Probably will want to seal with silica glass and then maybe a polymer outer or old synthetic oil.
Thanks for sharing your work! Enjoy watching your videos and looks great.
Sounds like you have it figured out.
I would have to see the shop drawings on the entire sattlite, mounting, and foundation
That’s beautiful
TY
Love your channel! Would the process be different for a slab in the Midwest, with harsh winters?
Yes
so cool
Congratulations Tom good for you man
I concur
I’d put red lava rocks around it or something so water could drain off and maybe give a little support to the sides... not sure if supporting the perimeter of the slab would be beneficial, but the rocks would look cool.
Yes I think decorative rock and desert scape is the long term idea
Awesome!
TY
Great voice over
What's that device with the handle called, the one used for the shinning of the surface?
Very nice job
TY
Concrete in north dakota around where i live is 100 bucks a yard...super cheap right now!
Here its about 130 if you can get it since the cement shortage in California
Congrats winner... Stay safe... Have a great day...
TY
@@OdellCompleteConcrete YW...
Thank you for the contact that you share! I intend to focus on concrete and dirt work as trades and your videos help contribute to my professional growth.
Great
GL
Interesting approach; My guys aren't too good with math so what we do in this situation is select where we want "dead center", place a stake in the ground with a 5' stringline attached, and spin around in a circle, identifying our perimeter. This method gives 5' in every direction from center point.
Yes but what if there is a object in the middle?
@@OdellCompleteConcrete very good point!
@@OdellCompleteConcrete You would of had the same problem with your method. You had a stake in the center and were measuring off of it.
Oh cool! you did have video of this. I thought you all just didnt take video when you did the other project at this house.
Yes we do
Congrats to the winner!
TY

Did you guys do the concrete pad in the background too? Looks like for a shed.
Yes in a previous video
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I'm going to find it.
Nice
Great.
TY
This is super nice! Where do you get the plastic form strip?
elite plastic
Nice!
Thanks!
Have you used curing compound after casting
Bahjat B yea we did use curing compound on this job
💪🏼
What are you using for the form?
Dave. How’s the Arizona place coming ? Any updates?
Dino M big changes coming soon stay tuned..
Dave, what's going on with your property at the river? Videos?

Nice 👍 Now Team Odell can make a Barbecue after Work 🍔🍟🥤
Oh yeah!
Where can I get the plastic to make the forms? Or what other product might I use to make the form?
Plastic forms by proline
👍
Since it’s only 10 feet you don’t need control joints, right? That gives me an idea for my back yard.
Correct
Did that plastic form leave the edge concave?
No
I still wish you sould give a tour after the projects get completely finished and landscaped
Yes that would be nice
To calculate the circumference: 2X3.14XRadius
Bingo
Does anybody know how to do the opposite? I want to create a round space in a driveway to put a millstone in. I could put it in place before I lay the concrete but I don't want to get concrete all over it. I've thought about covering it in plastic and then using planks to get to it and take the plastic off and tidying up the concrete around the millstone. Any ideas anybody?
I hope so
GL
How much heat can concrete withstand?
Good question
What can I do if I want to put a fire pit on it? I don’t want to damage the concrete 😔
A raised base
Could you please share how much this cost (supplies)
750
How to make the plastic form?
what i mean is if the sale the molds for the form or you fabricated it? what kind of plastic pieces , where can i buy it?
Do u have any pool videos
NO
I like Pie
Me too
How wide will the pit be? Seems a little small.
2.5' diameter pit pre-fab7.5' clear all the way around
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I'm having one done this week but I want to put at least 4 chairs and space behind each chair! I'd appreciate your advice...Is a 20' diameter overkill?
How much did you charge for it ?
1000
Got a link to their youtube channel? I can't spell

You guys building the fire pit also?
Precast unit
How come they didn’t run gas lines under concrete?
Portable
I noticed that the pool float was keeping an eye on your work.😷
That was eerie
The dog approved 🐕
Site is looking good. Chloe is an interesting client:- Toyota Tacoma, DIY projects, boxing, and adventuring, winner 2019 USIBA Nationals at Syracuse
Yes that's what I thought
I’m curious on why you guys don’t use 0”-3/4” gravel as a base? Any concrete preps I do here in ON Canada have a gravel base
No freeze here
Thats chloe kuo, what a coincidence . Cool

"So here I just sprayed the home owners dog down with mobil 1 synthetic straight out of my truck mixed with diesel fuel, rebar tied him to the funny trowel and it just gave this a beautiful finish"
Get it on

The formula for circumference of a circle is 2*pi*radius
SOunds good
buy 2 boxes of beer and invite 5 of your mates to come around
Bingo
seems small for a firepit and chairs. should have gone 12-14 feet diameter.
His, hers and the dog should be fine, always room to expand with a decorative border
See Chloe Kuo's Tacoma channel here: th-cam.com/channels/0ybj4KuDQc_jOx1ONrlrfw.html
The dogs name is Cody, and he's a Sheepadoodle, Half Old English Sheep Dog and Half Poodle
Is the site manager a floating unicorn,???? hilarious!
That would be cool
Way too small. Gonna be too close to the fire, or have to back your chair off the pad. (i know this firsthand) They should have asked for at least 15' diameter.
its a gas one.
Always can expand with a decorative border
Stop, every student knows there is no such thing as a real world application of math!
There is and its fun when you get to use it
I hate to tell you but.... there is no such thing as a perfect circle.
Try telling the Egyptian builders that
How much the cement company charges for that amount of cement
