Really enjoyed this video. Reminded me of my highschool and college years helping my dad out with his construction projects. Everything done by hand. Taught me a lot of good life lessons 💪
They certainly earned their pay! Having the knowledge and ability to do it all by hand comes in handy when all of that fancy equipment isn't available. Never get comfortable with the easy stuff. Always be prepared to do it the good old fashioned hard way.
Yep another good one.thats his son yall.i really don't know who do better work.lol.but you know what they say?you can't out smart the master.great job guys.
The more I watch these videos the more I see how bad of a job was done to my property before I bought my house. Now I'm left with getting things fixed. Hopefully I can make good decisions off of the bad ones from the former owners (Do it yourselfers). I see where the mistakes were made. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and process. I really appreciate it.
seems like a good job, but I would never put the rebar i direct contact with sand. I would have added a small thin concrete layer or plastic foil that could also help in playing a good role in retaining the concrete water and avoid it being absorbed by the direct contact with soil.
Well explained video, looking forward to the next video want to see if its possible to try this method in Norway. What is the total depth of the concrete?
Hi David, anothef great video, I look forward to the next update, who was the young guy who took your place on-camera? Take care and keep safe, best regards from Australia
They did this one Mexican style with good ole Emanuel Labor. It's easy to get spoiled with skid- steers. I already know this is going to look great. That little Makita doesn't play, impressive!. I was wondering if that tree about 9 minutes in will be an issue with roots so close to driveway?
Just curious, I don’t see you guys have a porta potty. I’m sure working an 8 hr day you guys have to use the bathroom. What do you guys do especially when you guys have to use the restrooms.
Funny how I've seen videos from here where they were demoing a driveway with brick inlays and now here they are putting brick inlays in a driveway. I can just see 10 years from now, they'll be taking out their driveway on this home to get rid of the brick inlays! LOL
Why on earth did you not use a 1.5 ton mini digger and excavate the drive. Saves all that back breaking digging and the digger would load the barrows its a no brainer We make easy work of it in the uk
@@OdellCompleteConcrete i usually do the edging then use the top of the brick to pour the driveway never had an issue with it, it's a lot of unnecessary work however it is effective but time-consuming. The other issue is the bricks used should always be soild clay bricks not pavers with a 90mm depth in the track or 120mm if on edge not flat.
You seem to work so well with your men, do they work for you or with you? I had a landscape business years ago where my helpers worked with me. I just couldn't count on them showing up. I never let prima donna workers stay after they outed themselves. The no shows ruined the biz. I don't. You seem to work real well with your crew.
really you shouldn't join brick and concrete why because one is a clay base material and the other is volcanic base material they have different properties when it comes to breathable products. as you can see at the start of the video where there making the mortar in the barrow if you look at the old edging that was done its cracked and shifted this could happen again.
A concrete man is just that...plus a bricklayer, carpenter, and landscaper. Literally the best of the best
Ground up
Not sure why I find these so satisfying to watch, it must be the voice over and the craftsmanship. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much!
😂 same here
Really enjoyed this video. Reminded me of my highschool and college years helping my dad out with his construction projects. Everything done by hand. Taught me a lot of good life lessons 💪
Same. Grew up working for my pops concrete crew. Taght me everything I know about herd work
taught you that you wish you had a skid steer
@@landonmorel3715 ain't that the truth. But I don't regret it.. was in great shape.. and beer always tastes better after a hard day of labor.

Complicated but will look nice. Excited for part 2 and 3.
Yes its a nice start
TY
Good to see Tim in front of the camera again. Nice project.
More to come!
You taught them well. Can't wait to hear you narrating your grandkids concrete videos.
That's possible

I clicked the like button, and I’m looking forward to the next episodes.

But did you subscribe?
@@smackflack5771
Good point
@@smackflack5771 i don't leave comments on channels I'm not subbed to. Have you turned on notifications?
There’s nothing like a hard days work, I used to do construction and I gotta admit I kinda miss it, well done brother.💪
TY
Gratifying
Beautiful detail. And I liked the explanation about the monolithic pour. It makes so much sense.
I concur
TY
Awesome, another OCC video!

Dead heat for first
Yep another good one.thats his son yall.i really don't know who do better work.lol.but you know what they say?you can't out smart the master.great job guys.
The goal is every generation adds something new and better
Skid Steer, we don't need a Skid Steer. Odell Crew getting some and taking care of business.
Cancel the gym membership.
That looks fun! I’m trying to decide on a curb for my driveway. We are on a slope so all water runs to that side and washes dirt onto the sidewalk.
Have fun!
GL
dont get me wrong love watching your videos guys keep up the good work
TY
Can wait to see that finished
Me too
10:03 the 'ole Jackson blue lazyboy recliner :)
It's a good one
I've been wanting to do this very thing in my own driveway. So glad you are doing this series!

Sounds counter productive
@@OdellCompleteConcrete in that case I would at least use spacer to avoid the contact with the ground. looking forward for part 3 :)
Looks like a lot of prepping for the bricks, can’t wait to see the results 😊. Do you guys ever get customers who can’t deal with a lot of dust?
No
Why did you switch back to rebar for this job and not the fiberglass rods?
Request

4"S
Look forward to part 2. Just did my back yard.

Can I take a concrete grinder to a patio that looks like the consistency of oatmeal? Trying to find a way to smooth it out without demo
Yes
looking good men

It hasn't for the old drive way, but maybe
Dave do you prefer the flat free tires on your wheel barrows or the air filled?
Have to say if Im pushing it give me air.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I found the same, though flat free would be better but harder to roll when loaded.
Hey David Odell what's your opinion on glow in the dark concrete?
I dont know Ive never seen it
I like to work for you all. Looks a lot nicer then the bull road work doing now.
Sure
It's a lot of fun
Just curious, I don’t see you guys have a porta potty. I’m sure working an 8 hr day you guys have to use the bathroom. What do you guys do especially when you guys have to use the restrooms.
Pretty sure from the looks of them, they just crap their pants. That younger one has a diaper on. Right? Who ever his barber is I would fire them😂
How the price of lumber for your forms affecting your prices?
Clean off your forms & you have them to use over again on other jobs
Motor oil lol
👍 👍
Why couldnt they use a loader for removal?
Didn't need it we like the workout
Man get them guys a skid steer atleast damn making them do the whole thing by hand
It’s a good work out 💪
Why didn’t they use a skid too grade instead of a guy and a shovel
The gyms are closed

Depends how it holds up.
What? The Hilti hammer run circles around those hammers at half the weight
I doubt that
@@OdellCompleteConcrete just had one rented a few months ago. We ran it side by side to my TE1000
Where are part 2 and 3
Coming soon

i dont understand why you put a rail for your brick edge
Make it straight

Dude
how many days did it take you to do the whole project?
7 Days
1st 👍
Drum roll for first.

This system is totally different.
Damn I dont know what these guys got paid, but it wasnt enough to do it all by hand!
your right
@@OdellCompleteConcrete You're* 😄
I wanna meet the continued thumbs down clowns.
See no meatal pen . Bye
