Finally Poured after getting FLOODED!

[@kimcoweld278]

Been doing concrete for 50 years and all my tools are so old. Remember when we had wooden bullfloats and they said it was old school. Now wooden bullfloats are making a comeback.

[@larrygolden167]

Shoot I have made make shift wooden floats for small jobs around the house.

[@joshuacollins9242]

I really like how you talk to your crew. You can tell that you have respect for them. They have respect for you It’s a beautiful thing. Keep it up. Remember if you don’t use concrete it’s your own asphalt.

[@wwaynemcg]

A few of my newbies thought asphalt was a rectal disease!

[@mb_]

really liked the part where you were talking about pressure with that trowel. one thing in these videos that is never really communicated to the viewer are details like that. you all make it look so easy that details like that aren't readily perceived on video. great work as usual!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I concur TY

[@j4mesgz]

It’s nice to see you appreciate raza and see that they also appreciate you .

[@rusosure7]

I'm 60 and only have done concrete work at my home. It was great to see that even those who do concrete everyday can always learn something new. Go Zappa!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

True

Do things is important,but do things fine is more important.I´m gonna say Shawn is the winner.

[@pamflowers8364]

Good idea to spray paint your tools. I have had so many workers show up over the years and tools walk out the door, so I painted big red splotches on everything and engraved my name wherever possible and that pretty much stopped the tools leaving "by accident".

[@Fireguy97]

I've done that for 35 years. Always had a rattle can of red and blue paint on my truck. A big blue base with a red splotche. Never lost a tool on a jobsite.

[@arloncaples]

It is so enjoyable to watch the pros. This is truly an art.

[@wwaynemcg]

Like most jobs, the more you do the better you get (working smarter not harder).

[@chichitex1252]

This is turning into a beautiful job! Y’all’s camaraderie was delightful! I bet the homeowner was thrilled! I love your videos!❤❤❤

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thank you so much!

[@ericgodfrey7531]

The finish product looked awesome with the decorative rock. Definitely looks better than artificial turf in between the slabs.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I concur

[@SamVanZam]

The skill here is totally unerrated. I love how you and your crew banter, like, I want to be there in the mornings talking about tools with you all and I dont even work in the industry. You all have a great work/joy balance. Definitely a new sub ❤

[@maxmaxx1175]

Right on JR!! Well, Odel brothers. I'm happy to see that you have taken over the microphone as well as the jobs itself. Pops needs that break to become the 'Accounts receivable/ Accounts payable. Def let pops stay in the office more and circle them offices and....." GO HOME EARLY!" Pop does deserve this. I'm 51 and still with the County of San Diego (Bridge Crew). I wanna go home early everyday but I don't own the County, so give up for POPS!!

[@reggienance]

Another great job! You guys do some of the best work on KZbin.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

TY

[@JonnyDIY]

Great job team. 💕👏👍 Looks like wetting up that bad mix made it take a lot longer to bleed, that and the super saturated ground. Such is life right!?

I don't always broom finish concrete, but when I do it's with a 50% nylon 50% horse hair broom!

I am laughing: they say women have too much fun shopping!!😅 you my man got me laughing you're so happy. Thanks for the content.

[@wwaynemcg]

Every finisher has their own preferences. But, for me it was far too wet of a mix, a slump test would have confirmed I think. Don't know why there were so many short screeds working, that seemed to rake the high spots instead of "saw" them by screeding. I used to screed, form to form, sometimes twice. You will never get as level a finish with eyeball short screed as you can with a full length straight screed. Pump sure makes it a lot easier, back in the day it was extensions on the chute, and wheelbarrows for what the chute couldn't reach. Back then crete was running less than $50 a c.y.

[@colinlowe588]

Great job guys good teamwork.

[@OnGrade]

Do you have just oil in that spray tank? I use a 50/50 mix of oil and diesel fuel. Basically add the oil & diesel and shake it before each use. It's a great combo and the forms pretty much just fall off when you remove the stakes. And turn the tip until it's spraying instead of that stream.

[@marilynm8812]

A totally different look. Nice.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thank you! 😊

[@wwaynemcg]

Consider in snow country, you might avoid the rocks in the gaps. Snow removal blades would displace some rock. Weed barrier is a good idea, but in 3-4 yrs there'll be just enough soil in the rocks to support some weeds or grass. My own preference is actual brick in the gap or just set a brick-like template in the wet crete, with maybe dye to your liking.

[@sallymcafee4307]

What a boss! Making sure his crew have lunch.

[@fintan3563]

That pizza break was long enough for the bleed water to evaporate. The concrete finished up beautifully! (Think I’ll order a Little Caesars tonight! 🍕🍕🍕)

[@lydiaazevedo813]

🌻That was very nice. Reminded me so much of growing up helping my father lay cement in the front and back of our home. Your team felt so much like a family vibe, and having so much fun added to the hard work topped it off. FYI, I'm a girl and loved doing outside work with my father, who was a core man in the Army during WWII. I learned so much. 🤓. I have subscribed.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Great TY

[@mulliganman33]

It is fortunate the pool guy next door didn't flood the yard on pour day. That would have been a total disaster!

[@sheilastahl633]

Who would have thought pouring and getting ready to pour concrete would be this interesting. You do a very neat job.

[@petermcnamee4614]

Your work mates are a great bunch of guys .

[@htx5641]

Finally I see who’s behind that voice lol old viewer back keep up the 🔥 content

[@bobd9911]

You just did pretty good work and it seems like all of you work good together good team. Homeowner gets what the homeowner wants and pays for. As for me I will not split up my driveway like that and put rocks or my walkways either.

[@razzicat]

I think that if and when the owner decides to sell, the rock filled gaps will severely limit the buyer pool and lower what he can get for the place.

[@NanaShawnia]

I really love the rock in between and on the sides! It turned out beautifully 💜❤️

[@OoOoRocketfellaoOoO]

you know what this guy said that really made me think you all should hire him .... "Get it perfect" ... Bro well done at you for taking pride and actually wanting to give this industry some good tone that should hopefully ring out through your career. woop woop!!!!

[@Saki630]

nice job to everyone. We liked see everyone work hard and do quality work. The contrast between the stones and cement looks great when wet.

[@RiverRat904]

Came after watching part 1. Beautiful job!! Fun video to watch. Subscribed!!

Great job fellas , I’m in Melbourne Australia

[@AdvantageLandscaping]

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Best of luck! I’ll be watching!

[@crebz5907]

Its really cool to see your teams comradery.

[@joehrlein847]

Watching this I was worried it would not turn out good but it did. Nice job! On to the next one.

[@SusanBooker-g9j]

Looks great! What a nice bunch of guys to work with!

[@albertoalfaro9989]

And you show respect to your workers. Good job.

I appreciate that

I’m gonna say Shane because quality should always come out on top.

shane had another 5 minutes to play lol!

[@michaelcapriano8265]

Excellent work Dave

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

TY

[@josealcala404]

Great job Tim as always #1 in Cali.. AHUEVO!!

[@zrkn1]

A quality finish is KING, so Shane for the win this time. Louis may have been set up to lose with the pool float though. No matter what they both learned from the race and had fun!

[@I__Love_Lamp]

you are correct but people are forgetting that Shane was practically engaged for almost 5 minutes! Just go through the timeline and you'll see that Luis stopped at the one minute mark and shane kept going throughout the video! Obviously it's not a great big issue but if we keep it fair Luis would have crushed it with another 4 minutes😁

[@therealdojj]

Looking forward to seeing how you get the concrete into all those areas without any over spill Pretty sure you will do it with ease though 👍

[@mjg9163]

Only in Cali you could have Elvis and Serj Tankian. On the same job sight keep up the good work guys

[@tergar1]

So glad you were able to pour after that mess with the pool water! Also, I like the idea of using that slogan you came up with. With your logo and a brush with a long pole. lol Maybe do a contest!! Love your team as well! Good job 👍

[@bryantmay4299]

Great work , looks great

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thanks 👍

[@johnhamilton9229]

I really liked this 2 part. I do think you should change your code for your cell. As a team there was a large amount of laughter. That’s a great work environment, sign of a well rounded boss. 👍

[@dennisorr1746]

Now thats a great boss! Pizza! Nothing brings people together better than breaking bread Love it.

Nice Tim I like the look. You know I might consider black rock for my home in the backyard.

[@jesussolorio8437]

Shane for the win!

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

Great closeups of everything! Turned out fantastic!

[@SandbeersPa]

The Look of the driveway with Black rock is Stellar... But i find no matter what you do to prevent weed growth, weeds always find away to grow. Still a Great Job!

[@JB-bn8bf]

I helped pour concrete when I was in High School. We always used a jitterbug that pushed the rocks down and brought the cream up. I watch several concrete channels and no one uses a jitterbug.

[@nubeeluna]

The COMRADERIE 💯✌🏾

[@longleglegend8418]

Patient and virtuous 👌🏾💯

[@BigP85]

Shane and Louis both did an outstanding job. That pay should be split in two and given to them.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yeah that sounds like a fair deal to me

[@tahm1236]

LOOKS AWESOME

Are there any products/glues that will sort of adhere the decorative rocks in place for areas like the driveway? Looks really great!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yeah maybe on the next pour 🤙 appreciate it though!

[@LightningFabrication]

Awesome job on the driveway, walkway and patio. Quick question, I absolutely hate broom finish concrete. I've worked in auto repair, so it's been concrete floors metal trowel finish and sealed. very rarely did the floors get slippery when wet or covered in oil. Might have been the type of work boots I wore. My question is do concrete finishers still use wooden trowels to finish driveways and walkways? The house I own (built in 1984) has wooden trowel finished concrete and some things I like about it is, ease of keeping it swept off. Broom finished seems to hold dirt and concrete dust. wooden trowel finished concrete also seems to be sealed a little better than broom finish also, but not like metal trowel finished.

[@trikerflash]

anyone else think Shane looks a lot like Frank Zappa?

Looks like an ex skater that was forced to get a job lol 😂

[@jcuevas99]

Nice. What did you put on black rock to keep it in place some sort of epoxy?

[@invictusbp1prop143]

Using 1x4 form boards on at least the short sidewalk sections would make it easier to wreck those forms when you’re ready. Save money too. Just gotta make sure you stake them good. That mud almost looked like it was hot. If you had the truck spin up n mix it good and still got that, I would have sent that back. Your mud was bleeding so much because you were sucking up that ground water. Could have maid down some polygon prevent that. Gotta be careful with that much water on top. You don’t want to finish it with that water in the top layer or the surface will be weak and the finish could dust. Did good by waiting and not getting on it too quick tho. You’ve got a good crew.

[@mijyadoc5374]

Nice job guys.....

[@pamelajoyhunter5461]

You should have suggested he put the rock also on the outside edges.

[@innav0ig]

Nicely done! how much did you charge for this project?

[@W1LLB0]

Great job guys! Have you ever turned up in the morning before a pour and found anything seriously wrong like vandalism etc?

[@CelaWhitney]

nice job.

[@jessevaladez73]

Good work fellas broooom it

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

TY

[@caring-assoul_]

They could’ve adjusted the mix with a bit more accelerators to make up for the saturated soil.

[@halunkarecord]

those black river rocks get very slippery when wet!

[@edwardgriffin8092]

I might be 9 months late, but Shane definitely won, and the time difference is irrelevant as Luis work has to be redone. So in the end Shane will have finished in half the time of Luis making him without any doubt "Numero uno".

[@sharpgirlsSerious]

I thought the owner wasted his money tearing out the front driveway, there was nothing wrong with it. Although yall didn't mind, just pleasing the customer. I would have had it preasure washed and painted before I wasted all that money ! No reflection on your work it was well done !

[@duaneayers6117]

EASY MONEY 💰👍

[@ricktaylor14001]

2:00 - Wow…. you’re in California I think, yes? It looks a lot colder than I’d think it would get there. I realize it’s early morning, but what would the temperature be? Are you further north in the state??
