The pool guy should be paying.
Pool guy is definitely reading the comments.
No, the neighbor needs to pay then the neighbor can go after the pool guy
My pool guy does the exact same thing, must be page 1 of the pool guy's handbook
@@huntards correct, at the end of the day, he was hired by the neighbors home owner, if they had to pay for damages they are the ones who have to pursue the contractor responsible.
It makes me laugh that he thinks he’ll protect his business by going after his image on the internet and he doesn’t even realize he killed the main source of advertising any private contractor has; WORD OF MOUTH, smooth move Xlax.
The old driveway looked perfect.
Yeah that confused me as well.
That was my first thought too, but once I saw the condition of the backyard it made more sense. The front driveway did have some cracking and even some small chips coming off the surface. So I'm pretty sure the homeowner decided he might as well replace the driveway if he's already doing the back. Since he'd have to do it eventually anyways
Money talks.
if you pay attention the owner was already paying for work on the backyard and with concrete the greater the amount the cheaper it tends to be so the property owner clearly said hey lets make it easier for the both of us and get the front driveway done as well
perfect to you and perfect to me must be two different things
Advice from an Architect:
It is crucial to ensure that your contract includes a third-party intervention clause to address situations like these. Regardless of the presence of such a clause, it is important to remember that your contract is solely between the client and your company, not with the neighbor.
The appropriate course of action would be to initiate a dialogue with the client upon encountering such a situation. This should be done after thoroughly documenting the issue. Subsequently, inform the client that additional costs may be incurred. It is then the client's responsibility to approach the neighbor and, if necessary, pursue legal action in a civil court.
Based on my knowledge of construction and architectural law, this is the legally recommended approach. However, your approach of handling the situation is a very good option as it minimizes the client's involvement, ultimately keeping them happy.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that the mentioned rate of $300 appears to be significantly low. In my experience, smaller projects in my region typically incur daily delay costs of around $500.
According to City building department water encroachment is illegal
That is true but at least in our area damages are between property owners only. Anyways glad it worked out in the end and the project still moved forward.
@@thenextstepp , technically you are right and that they could have sued the homeowner and forced him to sue his neighbor's for the extra materials, time, labor, and court costs they incurred because of the negligence of the pool keeper! Obviously then that neighbor would have to sue the pool guy for his losses due to his negligence! IMO you guys could have easily gotten $5000 in civil court as long as you could provide proof of those jobs you had lined up that you had to push back because you had to wait for the area to dry up enough! If I remember you guys stated that you had to wait roughly a week to place the crete but were still bringing in gravel to try to help dry it faster! I think that that owner was lucky you let him off with a slap on the wrist! I am also curious how they didn't have a runoff on their property to guide the water to the street instead of just flowing directly on to your neighbors yard! The guys yard you were working on didnt have an adequate french drain either, so either they did a bad job or it was clogged or didn't have the proper pitch to drain towards the street but either way it shouldn't have flooded like that with a properly placed french drain!
Obvious insurance claim
I have to agree $300 for the delay was way to low. You lost how many days and a crew of? A fee of $500 for each day lost is still resonable.
“Neighbor’s flooded …”. I was thinking more like angry villagers flooding in with torches and pitchforks like an old Frankenstein movie! I’m glad I was mistaken! 😂😂😂
Don't you mean buckets and fire hoses .
Lake lot o water.
Same!!😂😂😂
In my opinion the pool fool did it. He's the one you should have charged for the downtime.
Yeah I think he will be fined by the neighbors
@@OdellCompleteConcrete He should be held liable. He should be fined , and fired for negligence , and incompetence. Small claims court is always an option too. Good luck !
I'd ask for the pool company's name and send them the bill for all the missed hours, along with a small blurb from the video concerning the pool fools' actions.
dude you ever work on a construction site one second in your whole life? .... its all about other contractors causing delays.. electrician doesn't show so the drywall guy is losing his mind.. which pushes off the painter.. which pushes off the trim carpenter.. which pushes off the carpet guy... are you going to sue on behalf of all those contractors for a lost day? if you did you'd be put out of business by word of mouth and no one would ever work with you again... if it was rain who you gonna sue God? .. grow up .. welcome to the real world
@@zippythechicken "Grow up." Nah. All the nonsense you said doesn't make it acceptable. In the "real world" people that cause problems get held liable.
That's a bunch of nice guys you got working for you, I'd be happy working alongside those guys, good attitudes!
And Deli lunch to trade or share :)
When I was a child I used to trade my lunch at school, I would have some egg and black bean "torta" and my friends would have some ham/mayo "torta" so we got to taste everything.
A bunch of illegals who will eventually take over after he teaches them everything....seen it a million times
They need to fire that pool guy.
especially since the neighbor says he's done it before...
neighbor's are as dumb as the ''pool guy''.
Pool guy trying to sue you is hilarious 😂😂😂
Homeowner looked like he was still celebrating the new years 🎉😮
Probably in recovery
I miss dads buttery relaxing voice over on these videos. So relaxing. 😎
Next time
that was pretty much the reason i kept watching this channel when i started lol
I'm getting some stuff together soon
I disagree, I like the Son a lot. He's figuring things out by doing it right, and gives tons of details on the job which is nice. (not that I don't like the Father or something lol)
@@JFirn86Q They are both nice in different ways but some of us we got used to Papa's relaxing voice.
Hello to Papa Odell :)
$300 is not even worth the headache. I would have gone after the pool guy's insurance instead.
agree like what? 300 I wouldn't even take that serious.
Same. If this really threw off your schedule I could maaaaaybe see pursuing some sort of action. For. $300 though, not worth the headache or the bad blood.
$300 per man on the job, per day lost.
I would have charged around 1800 to 2300
Likely paid by the job. If paid by hour a wise supervisor would move them to another job. ALWAYS have a fallback plan.@@johnnyd2375
Loved seeing the whats for lunch segment. Love your interactions with your crew
Glad you enjoyed it!
This segment caused me to find what I had to eat in the fridge.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Where did he get that cool lunch thermos thing with the three dishes? Awesome!
In sweden you as a homeowner are responsible for any water leaving your property. It doesn't even matter if it's rainwater or tap/poolwater, you need to have drains that can handle every drop of rain that your property collects, and obviously take care of any water that you spill yourself as well.
It's the same in America, you are responsible for improper water run off. Like if you create a drainage system that happens to then flood your neighbors yard you can be legally in trouble.
You guys have a really good attitude, Just burning time and profits. 👍
Stay positive no matter what 😂
I'm surprised you only charged him that much 😮
I bet he's got a new pool guy 🤣
Yeah maybe should have been more
At 18:58 the neighbor says 'I hope the pool guy doesn't do that again while they're working". So I think the neighbor is as much to blame as the pool guy. All they had to do was check that the water had been turned off as they knew this was an issue.
Exactly
Or just tell the pool guy not to refill it, and do it themselves while they're home and can watch it (Set a timer to look every hour.)
They’re renters what do you expect
Renters...
@@snaplashthey said themselves "hes does this all the time, he leaves and doesnt say anything expecting someone to see it"
While the concrete was out I would have installed some drain basins for sure!
You guys do a great job and billing them only $300 is being nice. I figured the neighbors were renters as why they left when it first happened. They wouldn’t be laughing if he took him to court for a total cost of the project being delayed.
I would have thought that the neighbors or the 'pool guys' insurance would have coughed up a few thousand dollars for the damage.
All of you work Hard and man Y'all inspire many of us to Keep Working hard, I appreciate You and Your Crew!
I really liked the camera going across the driveway in a shadow that was a cool effect. It gave you a better sense of the passage of time. I really like the video all the way around. Most of these videos are too dry. When he was showing his food and said Mexican wife. He reminded me when I was a really young carpenter, not married and a lot of time I wouldn't even have lunch. I worked with older Mexican guys, and their wives would feel sorry for me and make me food. Some of the best food i've ever had. Thanks for the memories. Great video.
1000 bucks bro! Minimum
No
Dang! What a mess! Looking forward to finish video!❤❤❤
Next video will be a good one ☝️
Lunch time look so good!!! Everyone bringing there own food. Enrique killing it with the beef feet soup
Greetings from Southern California
The Masonry Company
Authentic Mexican food
@@OdellCompleteConcrete yes Cerritos
Beef feet food might be "menudo de pata", I am mostly vegetarian but I would eat it.
You should change the next door owner at $3k per day for the delay .
In Wales we work in wet conditions like that all the time 😊.Nice job guys 🏴 🇺🇸
There are snakes called Blind snakes. Don’t get any bigger than a large worm. Very rare to be seen.
That's cool. I have seen one before, thought i was tripping.
I have even had one in my yard here in Tampa Bay!
Thanks for identifying it.
Ok I thought it was a Earthworm
moving some debri😃s around 1 day with my bro i was like hey look at the worm and my brother said dude thats a snake,,
We have tiny snakes down here in Florida that look like worms. There's ones that have a red ring around their necks & ones that have like a round blunt ends on both sides.
Great setup. I would of definitely ran a thick landscape fabric in those 5” gaps to prevent weeds
We do that in 2nd part
Good time to replace main water line from meter to house before concrete is in
The pool guy should have paid for it
Not the homeowners fault,(neither one) nor the renters fault, strictly the pool guys fault. But, seeing how it happens often, they should be using a valve that shuts off the water when the pool is full.
If i'm the neighbors, i'm charging that pool guy/company the balance bill of the overfill of water draining over the fill line. Nice job as usual
Remember to clear out the pump sprayer as the hypo will destroy the rubber gasket in the pump.
This is why people need to learn how to take care of there own pool so they know how to shut the pump off
I loved the lunch review. LOL
How to Eat Fried Worms. I loved that book as a kid! Then there was also Can of Worms
The lunch reveal was my favorite part!!! 😂
THATS A PROFESSIONAL BIG RIG DRIVER
When i did pools I use to roll with a timer to shut it off. But if customer was home I would let them check to make sure it shut-off
Facts, I once accidentally forgot to turn the water off and the owners didn’t catch it ever since then I roll with timers
6:45 Brother you need to invest in jackhammers or like we now use the jackhammers for the skid steer. Saves all of our backs lol
8:52 what do we see them using??
What a beautiful job
Great work! Great attitude!
Also, in my opinion… On the driveway wouldn’t it be easier to get gravel in and compacted before doing all that set up?
You should put a claim in to pool company, they should have liability insurance to cover the loss of income as well as additional work to clean up the site.
unless he's a gypsey, unregistered. cheap prices, cheap work.
Take care of those backs, guys.If you have the equipment to move things, USE IT. That owner isn't going to pay or thank you years from now for any of the back problems that result from moving a stupid, heavy plastic bowl. You only have one back.
My backs already destroyed :/
a concrete guy with bags.... a truly rare site!
Great job brothers .👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Watch out for those silica particles boys. Stay safe.
I am a pool contractor. Pool guys do this a lot as do clients. I always always use a timer on a hose or even leave my keys on the spigot to avoid this crap. Happens more than you think. Here in Florida we also have an issue with pools popping out the ground during the wet season due to high ground water and soft soil. I have had clients drain water out of the pool and forget the pool is draining and the pool will pop right out of the ground. An expensive repair. Lol.
That’s funny, when I lived there about 10 years ago that same thing use to always happen with the pool overfilling. Our backyard got flooded several times
that concrete looks good.
You suppose to sue the pool guy or the neighbors cause it's not the owner fault.
That’s a $6,000 construction delay caused by others. Send invoice to the pool company and a copy to the neighbor. Be sure to get statements from the neighbor and client then file suit. Buy out the pool company and start another module of service to grow your company. Good luck. Hire the pool guy and put him in charge of continuing education for your team on what not to do. 😊
It's awesome your full crew includes Frank Zappa!
That’s our main man Shane hahah
$300 dollars is a lot for people that rent, it probably was a huge water bill too. I would go after the pool himself he should learn from it and has the means of paying. Plus the pool guy is insured for these types of mistakes. Pool guy obviously doesn't have a care in mind.
I guess they call the bill you sent the neighbor “liquidated damages”! Lol!
The guy getting his cement replaced ... may have his house foundation jeopardize as well with that water 😮
Marl the parts for the videos! Love to see you interacting with the crew.
More to come!
What made that fireplace you moved weigh so much, was the rock on top. Most of those rocks like that can be literal 'lava rocks', so their small, but super-dense, making them weigh a ton. A 50lb bag of that is like the size of a 20lb bag of cat-food.
Is there a weight limit for the roll offs? Can't wait for part 2!
That’s why I like acreage no neighbors close I’ve had to many crazy ones hahah
Ranch in a ziplock bag is crazy.😂
Great job crew 💕👏👍 Good to see the brothers working together on this one. Hope you're still going after that pool contractor's money that tried stiffing you 🙏
Yes we are
Dude what a trip, that’s my old house! Laguna Niguel right?
Haha we skated that pool and put a stand up jet ski in back in the day
Wow what are the odds!
At the start that driveway doesn’t look bad. Guess they wanted all to tie together.
“Not the first time the pool guy has done this….”
Wow.
always informative.
I appreciate that!
Put down concrete a little ahead of HOA approval so when I had to cut it a big chunk out a fine silt drained to nearest storm drain. To my surprise, in the morning the silt that crossed a 4 way stop looked like I had dumped 20 gallons of white paint and got spread every way from the passing cars! HOA said they were worried the lye in the concrete would erode the seal on the roads (Very possible HOA BS??) and put me to clean up. We attached to neighbor garden hoses and even grabbed a shop vacuum to suck up the silk. My luck it ended up raining in Indio CA and they sent the street sweeper which saved me. Lesson is to have someone on the end of the driveway with a shop vacuum to clean as you go! And don't buy in an HOA.
Good job
Invest in a little utility pump. We use them on jobs allll the time.
Good idea
Make sure you get a Tsurumi pump. They're the only ones that last worth a s***.
order the smallest dumpster to overfill it.... nice job
Hey Mr odell i have a question, i seen another video from 4 years ago you did a paint match on a concrete patio in the back yard you used berh deckover paint it looked good when you finished, i wanted to ask how long in your experience does that usually last? And is there any similar product that you recommend for a driveway ? I want to get my driveway and back yard done the same way you painted that back yard but not sure on product thanks!
Since this seems to be a on going problem with the drainage, I'd have asked the project homeowner about putting in some drainage pipe right at the worst places that get flooded to keep this from happening in future.
What if there is a big rain storm in future along with the neighbor's on going pool drain problem.
Best to do it NOW while you have the construction gong on.
"i hope no rebar" homeowner still paying for a bundle tho😂😂
I hope, all that scrap material get to be used again like in gabions or so.
500 for the extra work shoveling water and getting delayed is a good price for the set back.
How strange to tear out a perfectly fine driveway.
That's what I kept thinking, it looked so solid and uncracked, and so expensive to replace.
Yes but it was very ugly. Check our instagram if u want to see finished product before part 2
Maybe the dumpster driver is just REALLY GOOD
Sounds like they need a new pool guy lol
You should charge the pool guy. $300 is cheap , if you get anything without going to court it will be amazing. Small claims ct against pool company your best bet is
theres a 80% chance that guys unlicensed and uninsured waste of time for 300 dollars
owning my own pool company i never fill a persons pool, that is on them. To much liability and to many things can go wrong you leave your car breaks down etc. not worth it and this guy just learned that. leave it up to the customer !!!!
Neighbour didn’t seem overly concerned and if his pool guy has a habit of overflowing his pools he should have been on top of it himself.
There's a lots of those little snakes here that live in the dirt. They are called Blind snakes. They look like an earthworm
Maybe it was a snake 🐍
Great video. I think I would have put in a claim for the wages you had to pay your crew while you waited for the water to drain. Thanks for sharing.
I like the lunch container that Louis has. Can you ask them where they bought that? I tried looking online and can't find one
im suprised how well it looked by the end there lol, that was a mucky mess
I know I am a little late but I was curious with those 4 squares right outside the door that go all the way down did you guys add those wood frames dividing each square before you compacted it for a reason because would it be easier to compact it all and then add the boards just curious
You should have calculated every ones pay for the days you had to wait and for the material you had to put in to help dry out, then I am sure you had to bring up the forms for proper depth of concrete plus 10 percent for screwing up your schedule.
How was the pool even low to begin with if you got enough rain to flood you out beforehand? You would think the rain would have just topped it off.
Past time to get a new pool guy!
At least the re-bar wasn’t done right lol!
I’m kinda surprised you guys don’t have any transfer pumps, Milwaukee makes a few cordless pumps that work relatively well, especially for situations like this
Do you add sealer to the concrete after it is cured?
With your luck with pool guys, you may have to go proactive around your future projects warning them
Haha I think so 😂😂
do you have a sub pump? probably would have dried quicker idk just curious
I sort of agree with places making the dobies code. Some people even when they attempt to lift the bar don’t do it right and it just sinks back down.
And you should have billed him for the base you had to bring in also besides the 300 dollar delay fee. That pool guy should not be just leaving his customers hose running.
How to eat fried worms
Loved that book
Thanks!
Funny how the people in the back did it manual out worked the people that had machines in the front 😂
Do you recycle the concrete slabs that was removed?
I would make-up a contract before the work. Put in the clause that if they dispute the work then they have to pay for your lawyer and attorneys fees. Win or loose. 😂
Thats fd up i would laugh in their face if my neighbors contractor tried to bill me for something
