[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

TY I try

[@jasonpapetti7981]

And he doesn’t have to tell everyone he’s the best in the west, like other guys, his work speaks for its self!!

[@JMASON-qy7ki]

And he doesn't go on 6 week hiatus at laguna Beach every 2 weeks 😂😂😂😂

[@toxicnerveYT]

I think it's great that you show that even the pros run into problems, like where the glue popped on the foam. Really good to see how you handle those situations!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes there's always something to deal with

[@RolexDSSD]

Awesome work!!!! Take pride in every job. Small or big !!! Always pays off. !!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Real world concrete work. I like that you showed what you did to fix cap when it didnt go 100% correctly. Thats called experience. Awesome job.

I really appreciate this video as I am currently building a couple of seatwalls with a concrete cap for the first time. I'm not a concrete pro but I have been in construction all of my life. I'm retired now, 68 years old. Your videos are extremely helpful.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Great GL

[@rickirelan8385]

Very sharp work,good recovery! I did IBS years ago(Royal Homes),, contractor didn't plan for blowouts,, commandeered a backhoe, cleaned the mess,rebuilt corner/ac plywood sppts,and back in the races!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes I've run in to that situation before, luckily big equipment was available

[@dmacaya07]

Thank you David, for posting these videos so close to thanksgiving!!! I bet your client feels so much better and secure with a solid, high PSI, fiber mesh, and steel reinforced super cool and beautiful concrete walls with poured in place caps!!! Maybe like getting that shiny new bicycle on Christmas day! So grateful also that you bring that calm and confident voice over for the videos. Its mediataitve! Looking forward to the next one!!! Wishing you and your family a very happy thanksgiving!

I'm going to be doing some in place column caps. These videos are awesome for me to work out potential problems and game my process If I had the money I would totally try to get the Odell guys over. But, videos are the next best thing to being there

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I concur. GL TY

[@michaeldavid2320]

I like the cuts where you go to normal speed and we can hear the work being done. I think that makes a positive difference in the videos.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes I concur. I need to get more of those shots in there.

[@upsideways]

I like how you cut and break all the 80lb bags for easy loading 👍 my little bro taught me that trick after I ruined about 20 t shirts loading 80s the hard way into that slurpy rolling mixer! Haha. Nice looking wall👍

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes it makes it easier. TY

My Uncle's property (Oklahoma) sits on a two acre lot that has a fairly steep slope all the way to the west end (the slope of the land continues beyond his property to the west for almost a 1/4 mile). There aren't many houses to the west because of the slope and the fact a major highway runs north/south at the end of the sloped land. The house, shop/garage, and their three sheds sit on the eastern acre (which is the flattest but still a slight slope). The other acres is wide open with trees. We have a huge gopher and mole problem, so erosion has been a major problem. I'm constantly filling in holes and smashing down the runs. The west end of my Uncle's shop/garage had a layer of concrete blocks to hold back dirt to cover the footing due to the slope of the land. Over the years, the blocks have sunk into the ground and the footing was starting to be uncovered due to erosion. I did a temporary fix and leveled the dirt and restacked the blocks. But now it sits about an inch above the Oklahoma red clay bricks he made for a walkway from the norths side of the garage and wrapped around to the south than turned west to the entrance of his wood shed for the lawn equipment. Those used to sit higher also, but runoff has caused the ground to sink and the bricks sit almost three inches lower than when originally laid. The bricks are brittle since they are reclaimed for the cities old brick roads from 40-60 years ago, so it's a pain trying to pull them up without them crumbling. My Uncle told me I won't be able to save all of them, and that we can got newer ones as needed. Watching these videos has taught me there is a lot of work involved in making sure the bricks and blocks are level and have a steady base. What I thought was going to be an easy job I've realized is going to involve a lot more work to ensure the job is done right and lasts a long time. Looks like this project will have to wait until spring so I can have enough time to do the job right. I'm going to add two more layers of concrete blocks to ensure there is plenty of coverage for the footing and build a rack for their fire wood so it's not stacked on the ground. I'm also thinking about laying bricks on top of the dirt since we won't have any grass or vegetation growing there. But I'll have to figure out drainage. Well, the only way I'm going to learn is by research and doing. lol.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes you have your work cut out. Break it up in to a lot of small jobs.

[@JLT2342]

Had my stair forms blow out on me last pour- what a nightmare- barely saved it - My own fault- too much of a hurry forming it up- seeing it happen to areal pro like you shows it can happen to anyone- thanks for your videos and advice.

Yes it can

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jeffjefferson2676]

It really amazes me how "wet" early concrete can still keep its shape. Timing is essential though. And like you did. First a small piece to see if the concrete is sturdy enough to keep itself up. Its how they do concrete tunnels too! Just like how they use external mold vibrators to consolidate the concrete. Greetings, Jeff

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Really That's cool

[@iainclarke9635]

Hi. Loving these videos thank you! I am about to build my first ever retaining wall and so have been watching all of your videos. Feeling confident thanks to your detailed reports. One question. When laying the first set of blocks on the wet concrete, how do you need to leave it before building up the next layers? I am afraid of the wall sinking down into the wet concrete in the trench! thanks in advance for any guidance and sorry this is such a basic question!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Probably 4 courses the first day.

[@LoraxChannel]

wow I'm shocked that foam held so well. you are deep enough I would think you'd get some leaking out the bottom or get a buldge in the middleof the long side. going to try it

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

It's sweet and simple

[@johnsutcliffe9965]

Man you make that look easy!!!! Awesome job!! Have you ever used the Z-forms? We use them on our pool installs I do they are re-usable and leave a nice finish without having to trowel it.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Haven't used it. I'll check it out

[@boobyhatch7897]

Thank you

You're welcome

THANKS !!!!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

[@igipop1981]

Since watching your work for the first time, and up untill now, i still don't get it how you manage to wet-strip the formwork. I'm still baffled by it :-) looks real good!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Hard enough to hold itself

[@sonnyshin72]

goood job vvvvvvvvvvv

[@Mr.EdSnowden]

Looks great! Can you explain how you deal with the wire temporarily hold the forms together? When you pull the foam form off, is the wire sticking out?..or is it done in a way that it pulls out from one side? Thanks.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

It has a break point within the concrete
