Tis my opinion that Mr. Odell is perhaps the most knowledgable concrete contractor and finisher on YT with his years of practical experience of how concrete reacts and its limitations and how to properly form and drain slope it out. Always calm and full of helpful insight at preparation beforehand with more helpful knowledge explaining after the pour and finish. Bravo, sir.
Really appreciate your insight. Sound like you have a lot of practical knowledge .

Years of residential general building contractor experience using concrete subs for patios and walkways/driveways and have likely and hopefully seen it all Your expertise is valid. @@OdellCompleteConcrete

for the follow up
New subscriber to your channel disabled, retired garbageman, living in northern California. I started tying rebar out of high school. My father was a concrete finisher worked on Highway 101 Austin channel. Thank you guys for all your hard work Mr. Odell I love the way you talk through the pores do the finish work you’re awesome bro thank you for all your hard work.💯🙏🇺🇸
I've been on the 101 many times, not much fun with all the traffic.
Thanks for watching.
It’s just amazing! I always learn something every time I watch one of your videos. That was a great idea of thrown those boulders down, and then putting bag concrete down there and let it just form with the boulders and dry. That’ll give him extra protection. You are definitely #1 smart dude, with a lot of experience. Love your show, your son is super too. He’s definitely following in your footsteps. Thanks again.
I'm from Ontario Canada. I enjoy your video style very much and of course your masterful concrete work. Your customers are very fortunate to have you take care of their projects. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Great job Dave, Doug, Andrew and the Chef 👨🍳💕👏👍 Came out beautiful.
You have a great talent for making something so boring, entertaining and educational all at the same time.
I try to spice it a bit.
Glad you like it
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Ima landscaper, not the same trade but kind of over lapping. My grandpa taught me a lot about cement work and many other things. He made it to 85 and helped build a lot of the structures in washington idaho and montana. I tell you this because you remind me of him in your ability to teach and the world needs more people like that. Keep up the good work.
Odell is the McGyver of concrete. Prepared for every occasion.
I try.
TY
This was very interesting to watch. You and your crew always do such meticulous work. Thank you for the effort you took to video this pour!❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
this channel never disappoints
TY
I stumbled onto your channel by accident; not a craftsman of any sort, just someone who enjoys the building trades and has fun (😂?) trying to keep an old house together. I hafta say, your description of the concrete trade and the dynamics of running a business makes for some of the most fascinating and enjoyable content on the interwebs. I have even started making garden pavers with exposed rock and fire glass as gifts for our friends, and it is the most fun project I have probably ever started. Thank you so much for giving me the knowledge and confidence to try something new! Best wishes from Tony in Raleigh, NC.
That's great. I'm glad I could help.
Ex concrete inspector here from NJ. Great work and problem solving skills.
Nice to watch professionals at work instead of laborers pretending to be “finishers” with 2 years experiences.
Thanks
Very interesting project. Keeping Mother Nature at bay with a creative solution. Looks great!
I concur
TY
Nice work brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good to see you’re getting some work in Laughlin area,
I'm trying.
TY
A very interesting pour, nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
The skeleton structure is the ruins of the never finished Emerald River Resort. Don’t know the full story on why it fizzled out but there was a great challenging golf course that I played on the grounds in the late 90’s. The course ended up closing because the property was supposed to be redeveloped but that fell through as well
Wow, I need investors so I can open it up
Nice work I hope they put the boulders and dry concrete that will definitely help
I think that will permanently fix the erosion issue
This made my night after a longs day work, love what you do
TY
Heat up your epoxy in your truck by turning on the heat or use a heat gun. Makes the epoxy flow easier and set a little faster
Good job guys, I enjoy watching your projects
TY
Good job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job, something brand new for me, thanks!
YW
TY
Nice work
Thanks
Could you have drilled out a few holes in the existing to get some air pressure? Then pack the holes later.
1 ball like John Kruck
Nice! Probably about the best you could do in that situation.
Tough conditions for sure.
TY
Nice gig!❤
Yes it was!

Lake Havasu has great striped bass fishing. Anchovies or live bait works best
I'll have to try it.
TY
That coffee was good too 10 years ago as well go to the last drop😂😂😂😂😂😂

Fascinating, you were up against it there but came out alright 👍
A race against the clock.
TY
That looks like it was a fun project. I think some chamfer would've looked nice for the joints on the side but that saw is handy. Is that a dewalt chop saw?
Yes it's there 9" cordless
Wow I was surprised the damaged caused in that week wasn't more ,shows what a good job you did on the forms. I have a question do you have any links of past projects where you have installed lighting into concrete steps. Would appreciate your help.
I was lucky I didn't lose the whole package.
Pretty solid other then a few kickers
No lighting on video, but I've did plenty of them.
Pretty simple on low voltage.
Screw your box through the step face form, unscrew before you strip
is this not moving existing problem further away to water? why not drilling into ground with some concrete anchors or pillars so the dock is more secure in case of washing?
Thanks for video. Cheeres from Poland.
More of a maintenance issue
Agree. They should have drilled some 24" piles every 4 feet or so into the bank to give the addition extra support in the event of likely erosion in the future.
Nice form work. Is retainer wall attached to ground for new addition other than being anchored/pinned to existing slab? Waterfront I now only use basalt re-bar many times stronger than steel no rust and expands at same rate as the concrete completly eliminating spalling concerns and with basalt fibre added to mix is almost crack proof with wet curing. Seems to me this type job would be a great canidate for Basalt, what do you think? Ray Stormont
Probably a good idea.
My backyardddd! My townnn🤘🏽 BHC
Sweet
Looks like Colorado River by Bullhead, Ft. Mohave or Needles.
Yes you're right
May every penny you receive be worth it.
TY
Since you did not dig down at the New edge of the concrete you pour will not hold. The water will go under and undermine the new concrete. You Always dig down at least 24 inch on the water side so the water will not wash out under the New concrete. This makes a beam and the water will have to go down over and then back up to the bottom of the walk way.
The first walkway lasted since 1986 and it was only 8" deep.
I love your videos currently we are renovating our home in Ontario ca
We were thinking about widening our driveway might msg you guys
Great
TY
Another awesome job 💪.
How come you didnt just make another step
I wish I did it would have been easier for me getting up and down

That’s where I live are starting to do concrete out here?
Yes
Lance Armstrong was not slowed down by having only one ball.
I think it may have sped him up
Did you push concrete into the void under the existing slab to hold it back up, or push dirt back in there? Or just with the rebar dowels drilled in and connected to your new wall you built out, just basically using that to hold up the slab and your wall now holds the bulk of the weight that is floating in the air where it erroaded away under the existing slab?
I've seen companies fill wil expanding foam, and actually here in Phoenix, part of the freeway offramp for the SR51 HOV ramp that connects to I-10 south/east bound, after a massive rainstorm a few years ago, the part of the ramp that changes from the bridge overhead to the engineered soil wall on the ground where it goes down to the freeway level, it sinked a few inches causing you the have a sudden DROP while driving (and you felt it)... and this was after 15-20 years being there. But about a year later, ADOT just pumped expanding foam by drilling a hole into the engineered wall and raising the road way up. And it worked, to this day, 5+ years later, still good as new. I know they did it by the next day, there was a long string of foam that came out of the hold and dripping down the wall... after a few edays, they cleaned it up, patched the holes and painted and now you never know it. But pretty cool they were able to lift an entire roadway with expanding foam.
I've seen that product in demo's.
The only only problems I see are too much foam, over elevating, or sub grade no to par.
I think the ground sinking may be due to ground water removal.
I like the concept though.
TY
The concrete flowed as far as it could under the exsitng slab. Long term, would be as I said at or near the end of video
Working with only one ball. So you were Lance Armstrong. 😂
Yes, and I still won.
My kids yell at me, telling me “all you do is watch concrete videos”
I hear that, it's always something
you need to pour concrete as a foundation to a depth of 1.5 meters and then a gentle slope from above... and it will wash away again with water
Can't, the water would have eroded more of the shore line.
Best case is to watch the entire video.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I watched it in full. I’m writing through a translator
In that case you probably missed the part in the video where I said, big rocks halfway up the face of wall with dry concrete mix locking together.
There are these poly sea walls now that would have worked great in this location, they drive in and you can just use them as the form.
No way to wash under and no rusting away like the metal sea walls do.
Send me a link to that item. Sounds like a good option.
TY
You know who else is working with only one ball? Arnold Schwarzenegger. He seems to have done okay. There was another Austrian named Adolf who was set up the same way. He didn't do as well, by most accounts.
Your forgot about Lance Armstrong
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I didn't forget about him, but I tried to.
one ball winner
Pumper the only way to fly in this job. Here in Albuquerque the pumpers quoted me $450 for 3 yards on a shed slab 200 ft away from the street. What's the pricing like there for the pump?
Julio owner of prime pumping, charged me 200.00 plus two helpers.
That's not bad, my guy in the Shenandoah Valley is $550 per pour. But he's the only one for miles and miles.
Live and learn
Why did David not check the low and high tides in this area before deciding to pour?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I did, and it's a fluke
Water gets released from a dam. It's a river.
Thats right, probably not a perfect science
Which town is that in?
Bullhead
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Oh okay great!
David what state are you in
AZ
I thought you guys were from Southern California all this time
The reason why that hotel is just a concrete skeleton cuz someone won all the money and took it and ran😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's a rarity
frickn killer
Concur
TY
Can I ask please - I'm trying to make a half circle slab of concrete, of the top I will inlay flat stones to create a tiny patio area. What are the ratios of sand/cement ? Is it 3 Sand to 1 cement ???
3 rock 2 sand one cement.
GL
Thank you @@OdellCompleteConcrete can't wait to get started - currently waiting for our mini monsoon to end ! lol.
Uphill is definitely not easier for the pump cmon 😂
Less chance of clogging
First 👍
Glad to see you're still at the top of your game.
TY
Better be careful telling people to dump bags of concrete onto rocks along the river..... Not environmentally friendly doing that
No worries, it will be hard before the water rises
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I guess my concern is telling other people to do that. You obviously know when to do it and not do it etc. but other people dont and people can get in some serious trouble with DNR and other agencies dumping concrete on sensitive waterways that people get their drinking water from.
Wish you would actually hire Americans
What do think these are?
