![How It's Made: Concrete Sidewalk. Forms, Base and Rebar [Part 1]](/img/n.gif)
I'm not exactly sure why, but I your videos are so satisfying to watch. Maybe because I have seen so many concrete contractors do such a poor job that it is refreshing to see your attention to detail and awareness of how to prevent future problems by being so thorough. Thanks for putting these out!
Your welcome
Thank you
Same here
It really is so satisfying and sort of relaxing
😂
You guys are so professional. We need you in Mississippi. I had a slab poured, and it started cracking right away. It had low spots too. I love watching your videos.
Things can bad real quick.
It's a in the planning
God bless Mississippi 😀
Right chad white we need him in louisiana too
If they did it when it’s really hot they probably needed to keep the concrete wet for a proper cure. It can dry out too fast I. Warmer climates and not cure properly.
I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. Please keep making more. 😀
Sure
Man, I love watching these videos. I learn something new every time
Glad you like them!
I"ve been wacthing this guy for years, nice easy going PRO!
Beautiful work!
Thanks for posting. Great work! Good tip on the wood forms 👍
TY
Followed your videos and Professional wisdom, sure makes the home projects work out a lot easier and with better results.
Great to hear!
I got to start saving more trees. You're setting the bar pretty high Dave.
Saving trees is fun
And he’s contaminating the soil 🤷🏻♂️
@@QuIcK1423 how is Common materials used to manufacture cement that include limestone, shells, and chalk or marl combined with shale, clay, slate, blast furnace slag, silica sand, and iron ore. These ingredients, when heated at high temperatures form a rock-like substance that is ground into the fine powder that we commonly think of as cement contaminating the soil.
I watch both of y'alls channel cool to see u comment on his video
Mike Day and Dave Odell need a joint venture!!!!!
Love these concrete pads, the brushed is cool, a little texture for grip, congregate is nice with the rough sand like finish, nice. Dr. T
I got to get a level also some strings posts and shape, you could make a fun design using the rocks around the pads. Thanks Odell
First of all, David's voice is quite nice to listen to. These videos are very informative and strangely interesting to me. When my husband explains things to me I remember info from these videos. Keep it up.
Glad you like them!
Merry Christmas. Always a pleasure to watch your videos!
TY
So nice to watch a sidewalk pour without picture framing. Never been a fan of that look. Great job on the pour and finish!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge it has helped me tremendously

Well he uses illegal Mexicans that's how he can run his business. They are desperate for a job
@@hippiechicksmomma2727 Have any proof to go with that charge?
Beautiful... I need to do one. Thanks for the video
YW
Hey what’s up Odell love the vids you should make a video when to finish and how to finish Edgers and Handfloat use!
Good idea
Not a beginner video😂
Your jokes make me laugh . Basically saving a tree . Didn't see that one coming . Awesome videos. I enjoy watching them
Glad you like them!
Nice tip about the roots organic stuff needing to come out David. Was about to pour with it still in.
TY
GL
Great tutorial!! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing work
You can use chamfer strips to curve your edges. You take a 2×4 and mark 3/4 on the 3 1/2 side. Put your worm drive/ skilsaw at a 45 degree angle. Cut all the way down the board. You will nail that at your grade level. Pop a line all the way down your form and then nail your chamfer strip on that line. It will give you a nice curve on your side edges of your sidewalk.
Sounds like a 45 degree angled edge
@@OdellCompleteConcrete exactly what it is
@@anthonycarroll6546dont they have 45 degree angld strips now?
Man these guys work really fast.
Excellent work. *chefs kiss*
Thank you so much
Very good video. Mate many thanks for sharing Do you need to place mesh or rebard
Fine looking sidewalk! 👍👍
TY

Thank you for so informative videos! Nice work! Would you please recommend what is the height of a sidewalk over the ground?
1"
Excellent video! Nice details.
Glad you liked it!
nice video and useful tips. good job mate
TY
Very nice. Well done.
TY
ohohohohoh nice job guys ... that's great .... always share your stufff guys!

TY
@@OdellCompleteConcrete i meant I always share your stuff!!!
I lke the oiling part,very good advice .thank you Sir.
Good job👍👏🏻
Backbreaking work! WOW
Yes for sure
Awesome Odell!
TY
What I would've done differently was I would've put crushed rock for base and compact it down and then put concrete on top. I was told never put concrete on soil. Great job guys.👌
No worries
thats what i was thinking here, too
What a most interesting & educational video. 😊
Glad you think so!
thinking of doing something like this in the near future. I was actually going to do it 3ft too instead of the normal 4.
awesome video.... How much time do you normally wait after brushing it with the brush and a spray down ? I'm assuming it might vary due to weather a bit
Fantastic job, Mr. Odell! How about a DIY Retaining Wall Video on a hilly terrain?
Coming soon
Hi Edgar
Watching this as its Raining in SO Cal today. Home owners got concrete just in time. 50% Horse 50 Nylon My Favorite part.
Your right any later and would have been a mess
Very nice,thank you.
YW
TY
"So basically I'm saving a tree" lmao
I concur
@@OdellCompleteConcrete you’re a good man it’s not often you hear construction workers talk about the environment😂
In my area we tend to put a 4" compact gravel base for drainage and for longevity of the concrete.
It's stronger when the gravel is mixed with cement
That guy that starts with the 2x4 with trowels on his back looks like some kind of concrete ninja.
Those trowels are as sharp as a ninja sword
Sweet video 👍
A little late but better than never... 👍
Thanks 👍
Drummer
Awesome educator.
TY
Great job👌👌
TY
Solid job 👍
TY
great job
Nice & simple.
I concur
TY
Daaaam, so awesome 👌

Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about!
Bingo
Very nice work.
Ty
Nice job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Норм. Good work, thanks!
Thank you too!
Doing similar small sidewalk and debating mixing 80lb bags in rented mixer vs. expensive short load delivery. Any concerns with doing it in sections over a few days - particularly the control joints as I guess it would be a cold joint? Working alone. 50 bags, 4000lbs. 1.11 cubic yards.
It should work.
If it saves money, go for it
Very NICE!!
TY
Can you do a video on the drawing line and elevation?
What are doing when placing the string? What should be the degree of slope?
Yes good idea
@@OdellCompleteConcrete yes, that would help me a lot too. Since it’s been a year since this video was posted, have you made such a video yet?
Also, what do recommend to use as a form for doing a curving sidewalk?
Cracking job got to do one myself at the week end.
TY
GL
Nice job wish you guys were in nyc ☹️
Me too
David saving a tree. My hero
We try
TY
Just had a slab laid for a basketball court. Around the slab there's a space between it and the grass where you can se the rebar. What do I do with that space, will it fill on over time?
That looks great. You guys did a really good job. How much is the cost for that exact job? Thanks
Beautiful
Thank you
Looks great. DIY concrete equals a disaster for most people. We've seed that type of project 😩 Hire a good contractor, such as you.
We live in an upscale neighborhood so I won't be tripping on a DIY.
Looks fantastic 😀 Thanks for sharing 😁
Typos,sorry we've seen DIY 😩 Hire your company 😁😀😁😁😁
Right on
You guys are awesome. Consistent pro work. Is there a video that can help me deal with installing a paver patio that inclines up several inches away from house. In other words, exiting back of house onto several feet of deck and then pad for patio. The pad slopes several inches upward over 20 ft. Additionally, any videos on measuring patio stairs? How best to measure out and install three stone (slab) stairs on left of patio (when facing away from house)? Many thanks!
yes we have videos of paver installs
Hello what do I need to make the cement mix? Cement only?
Looks awsome.....just curious, did you not need to pin it with existing patio to assure new pour doesn't pull away? From old structure.
This ground is non expansive
Nice job, looks great. How much does something like this cost?
1200
Awesome video. Is there a major difference between concrete from the truck and bags you'd get at homedepot or lowes?
Yes there is a big difference.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete if one had to use bags, what brand would you recommend for a small sidewalk?
Nice work now you just need to get the lawn looking green and lush
That's the plan!
ty
Отличная работа! Надо взять себе на вооружение! )))
Sure
nice video! Was wondering what kind of trees those are next to the house, fig trees?
Not sure, but figs are common in this area
Well Done!
TY
No horse play with Odell complete concrete just horse hair ! 😆
I've heard it makes good reinforcement
Thanks Dave
YW
nice work
TY
Great stuff
Ty
If there's not much weight going through the concrete will the fiber mesh prevent it from cracking without adding rebar or any wire underneath?
The rebar just holds it together after it does crack.
Fiber mesh is just for shrinkage cracks.
I feel like your concrete is really creamy which to me makes a better finish? What size aggregate do you normally use? Ours seems like it's to big to use some of the tools you use. We got a new jointer and it brought up to many big rocks and didn't go over so well....
This mix is 1/2" minus
