What impresses me, apart from the quality of your work, is that you work just as hard as your workers and you’re the owner of the company- respect Dave!
I like to lead by example, plus I need some physical activity

Dave, a suggestion to help DIY viewers like myself: if it's possible and not too much trouble, could you consider adding a time-of-day clock on one of the corners in the video. That way, DIY viewers can get a sense of time needed to do the job, how long you wait before tooling, etc. Thanks for your videos. I binge watch once in a while, and have learned a lot.
I've been meaning to do that
Great idea, would love to see this
Your Son has your style! Great job guys! 👌👍🏻
Yes, I think he may be a natural
Odell is so damn good he helps other achieve greatness.
Grateness
"I am stretching the mileage on it right now..." LOL Good one 3:24 Another great video...
Great Work and a great Family Business!!
Simple and real nice job! Enjoy your videos Dave!
clean and simple , looks perfect
Odell you're doing the community a great service. Some contractors would think that a small job like this is beneath them. You treat all your jobs with good service.
Every job leads to another
The place I called for a similar project just now has a $3000 minimum. How much did this cost the customer I wonder?
@@imnitguyprobably around 7-10k
Excellent work! I’m a carpenter but it never hurts to learn from a pro and acquire knowledge
Right on
TY
The Odell Concrete Team got it together! Great video!
Thank you!
Nice job! I am glad to see you will take even a small job along with the bigger ones! 👍👍👍
You and me both!
I love new new concrete. Nice and bright and clean.
We agree!
You make it look soooo easy. I appreciate your skills and knowledge!
Ty
Way to go Tyler! Great work 👍🏻
TY
A great Sunday with Odell!

Get it on OSS
Beautiful job. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful David.
Beautiful job. This is why I love CZcams...now I'm ready to begin my cement DIY project!
Right on
GL
Great job 👍
I was telling to my self almost at the end, and here is the 50% nylon and 50% horsehair it was almost spot on😉👍👍👍😎
You have the timing down
Perfect timing plan on helping my son with pouring some concrete in his backyard
Great planning
GL
Get it on OSS
Always nice seeing your videos. I feel like I could start out doing small jobs lol
You can do it!
Ended up in my feed. Watched it. Loved it. So awesome to see skilled pros doing such perfect detailed work. 👌 wish I knew how to do this. I'm too weak and short to accomplish this task.
TY
Wow! Your son makes the work look easy! Must've had a good teacher :)
I think so too!
Very nice! You taught your Son well!!
Thank you!
Excellent work, but I would suggest that the last section have the broom groves be perpendicular to the wall, versus parallel, so that the water flows away easier. Great work by your son. You're teaching him a great skill and business opportunity to get him through life.
SALUDOS ODELL ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS. NICE JOB WELL DONE.
I appreciate that
If your boy keeps up that great work, you'll be able to go back to sleeping in on those chilly mornings 😁
That's the plan!
Absolutely beautiful great job 👍
YW
Thanks for all the videos, they're giving me a lot of confidence to do some around the home stuff.
Glad to hear it!
GL
Is it true that finishing trowels seal the surface and you should use a mag for broom finish? I been told many different things
Nicely done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow! These guys work fast!! 😳
It looks so industrial, like it*s made by a machine. Great job!
Yes it does
Tyler did a great job !
Thank you Deedee :)
that is a nice pour and finish!
Thank you!
Great video, appreciate you sharing.
YW
Watching this for my backyard. What a mess. Thank you for your amazing video.
Our pleasure!
That was some quality work, sir.
Ty
I didn't see anyone using the hook to pull the rebar up off the ground into the middle of the slab. Did I miss it on the time-lapse? I hope you guys do that...
Great video as always. Can you tell me how thick that concrete walk is please?
I am having trouble getting someone to complete a project like this at my house and now will try to do it myself with lessons from these videos.
Great work Mr Odell.
3.5" to 4
Great Work Team Odell 👌😎
TY
Always perfect
TY
Do you have to put joints in or can it just be one smooth slab with the horse hair/nylon brush finish?
Great job 💪💪👑👑
TY
You think you can add some time table on when you finish concrete, at what time after pour you do each stage
Gotta love the 50/50 broom.
Its a winner
About to do basically this exact same job, dimensions and everything. About how much did job take, yard and a half? Also.. Was thinking I needed to use a fiber expansion joint when butting against the house slab, thoughts on that? Thank you so much for these videos, I'm going to attempt to order a truck and do all of this on my own.. First time doing a pour 🤞
Just wow! Thanks.
Thank you too!
Great job! How its possible to get such a smooth surface on concrete? Does it have gravel in it?
Funny guy with you mobil -1 synthetic oil:). Thanks for the video...really helpful. Did you drill the rebar into the existing concrete? Couldn't see...I'm thinking about adding a pad to an existing driveway but adjacent to house similar to this project.
Question, is no gravel needed for concrete when it’s for light weight? Also, would you recommend using bagged quick concrete? Still possible that way?
I bought Lowe’s high spec 4500, will that cement come out like that sidewalk
Do you not need a gap at the slab? I’m looking to do a similar project on my house but I’ve moved the patio has about a 1/2” gap from the house. I was going to make it match.
Nice job!
TY
I would love to know how much something like this would cost for us! Any estimate would be appreciated
Thanks for this !!!
YW
Your videos are great very informative. I would like you to do a video. 25 things you don't know about
Concrete. I bet you could do 50 without thinking hard.
Great work and great video. In my case, we have a small hairline gap where the walkway meets the wall. What would be a good product to use there?
Caulking
The oil idea is great. I guess same as painting trailer boards with used oil.
What is the extra cost of getting a pump to either wheel barrow or just pouring rite out of a chute
Thank you sir 👍👍
Most welcome
You trained your guys well. Nice clean work
Thanks 👍
Do you do anything to seal between the house and the new concrete?
No
If that detached garage were a house, would you have sloped the walkway slightly away from the house to prevent water buildup?
Great work! I have a question. The 2x4 are sitting on a high place to give more than 3.5 inches of thickness to the concrete?
Bingo
What are the hand tools that your son is using towards the end?
Thank you
Question? Do you need to isolate the new slab from the house? I was wondering if I need to put down a felt layer or something in between.
No
Homeowner here with a 31x7 concrete pour of 4 inches of depth for the slab, 10 inch deep for footers that'll support 6x6 posts for a typical covered roof. Does anything need to go between the new slab and the exterior brick of the house? Dowels, rebar, foam expansion strips? The other side of the porch is an existing concrete sidewalk.
The contractor didn't compact the gravel on the last pour for a 25x16 backyard patio.
Weather-wise, for seasonal temp changes, I'm located in East Tennessee. Thanks.
Take a look around the area
When Tyler Odell wet set the control joints he only used the shallow hand tool, looks like it only cuts them in about 3/4” of an inch. On other projects I see you guys cutting them in first much deeper like 2” inches with that other tool on a pole before cleaning them up with the little 3/4 incher.
So will the shallow tool make an acceptable functioning control joint?
To narrow for the deep jointer.
Control joints work 80 % of the time
Great good beautiful greetings from San Felipe Chile
TY
I built a little pole barn shed last summer (8x12). I want to pour a concrete slab on the inside. Thought about doing it my self. What floats,trowels would you suggest I absolutely need?
Handfloat, hand trowel, edger
Your son works nice! You must be a proud dad!
Yes, he's getting there
At 3:47 when you're dragging the 2x4 down along the fresh poured concrete to smooth it out, how do you make sure it's level? Looks like you're just using "eyeballs & experience"? How do you keep it from dipping or rising along the side where it contacts the garage wall?
Chalk line on the wall
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I didn't see that. Thank you! 😀
Question. Im planning to extend my patio, but in order to get the extended portion of the patio leveled, it will be the height of my siding. Im aware concrete should not be poured on the siding, but would it be better to cut or remove the portion of siding, or should i cover the siding with a sheet of metal for flashing? Ive gotten a couple quotes to get this done, but not sure which method would be safer.
Flashing sounds good
Great job as always.. question… how much does it cost if you have a cement truck come and pour? Everything else I can do.. just second guessing bagging all of it.. that would make it a big and long job.. but I need to do this exactly with my detached
probably looking at a 550.00 minimal
In your video you said the blue hawk mix gives you the nicest finish when mixing by hand. Now that Lowe’s is starting to discontinue it, what other mix would you recommend for the nicest finish?
Good question.
I think you have to modify.
Great work Dave, do you guys just eye ball the slope away from the garage? I'd be of certain areas pooling if i do it
Use a level
Eso es pura jugarrera chingon es cuando batimos el sementó con pala
Something to keep in mind when doing sidewalks. You don’t need fiberglass or rebar because for sidewalks with human weight, it serves no purpose! Also when digging out an area for a sidewalk, it’s faster and less if a disaster to just use a spade instead of an overkill bobcat 😂 2 guys could dig that out in the amount of time you unload a bobcat and ruin the surrounding grass.
No problem, because I was doing more work the yard
Mr. Odell, It seems the sidewalk covers up the stucco weep screed. A stucco weep screed should have 2" clearance from any hard-scape surface and 4"
clearance from the soil areas.(CBC 2512.1.2)
There is no weep screed
Very nicely done, I want to do some concrete work on the property but I am so nervous I'll mess it up 😢
Start small and work your way up
Why didn’t you put a foam barrier between the newly poured concrete and the wall? Wont it be more likely to crack if the concrete is attached to the wall?
No
Excellent work again!! Quick question, would Pennzoil work just as good as the Mobil 1? 😆
Yes
how do you know where to put the lines in the concrete
Spaced evenly
I love your work, my only question is, do you have to waterproof the stucco before you pour the concrete
No
Is there a benefit of this over ready made paving slabs?
Never moves
Nice
TY
Nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job again. Do the fibre glass rods cost more or the same as steel?
Double
@@OdellCompleteConcrete wow
Expansion foam on the outside of the wall would be a better idea. If it expands your screwed because it can crack your wall.
It will create a thermite heaven. I believe they went down all the way to the slab, no way the sidewalk will crack the slab
Lol the comment on the oil miles was the best part
What kind of bull float do you recommend with beginners trying to pour a driveway? Thank you! Keep up the great work.
If I can remember that long ago I would say a wood bullfloat is what I started with
Love the job. Serious question, no hate, doesn’t the house need to be above 4” of any concrete laid next to it? Or is that just a California code?
This is the garage
New subscriber what tools do I need for this , I'm new to it and first time diy
Handfloat, trowel, and edger
Is there a need or reason to add expansion foam between the sidewalk and foundation?
No
Can you tell me why you put 'joints' in every 5 feet or so? I've seen this many times in the US, both on videos and in person while on holiday. We have similar here in the UK with concrete paths, driveways and garage/shed bases, which we call expansion joints, but I'm pretty sure they go all the way through to the base i.e., the adjoining sections of concrete are not connected to each other at all, yet it seems your joints are only about 2cm (just under an inch ) deep, so the entire length of concrete is still one whole slab? Is that correct? If so, what is the purpose of the joints you put in? I'm just curious, being a bloke!
Allows for minor movements
Are no metal grids necessary for stabilization in the cement?
we used fiber glass
Can you show a pour like this but a house that has a sprinkler and termite thing near the edge of the house. I want to do this exact pour, but have sprinklers and termite things around the house. Thanks for the great videos!
Sounds interesting .
TY
