How to Build a Concrete Driveway

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

Loved the closeup of the funny trowel-it was really cool to see how it works. This video showed the real side of concrete work. There’s allot of problems that come up abs that’s just how it goes. Excellent pour!!!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I concur TY

[@SparkysGarage]

Look into a stump bucket for that machine! They work great. Love the content

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Good idea TY

This is me and my brother Doug, and my other brother Doug... 😉

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

That's weird

[@rusosure7]

That was from the the 'Newhart Show' from the 90's. "Hi, I'm Larry. This is my brother Darrell, and my other brother Darrell" But yes, I'm definitely weird. Love your channel, and you have two great young men in Cali. You should be very proud of them. 🙂

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Oh, that makes sense. yes, I'm proud of sons

[@Pippy626]

Great work as always! What is the best type of tool to use to smooth concrete?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

A trowel

[@craigeslim7212]

I have a big question. I need to ask, in multiple videos you guys have tied in whatever new slab you were pouring into the existing slab/foundation. If you ever demolish that new swab, and need to remove those rebar ties into an old foundation, how do you remove those?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

The concrete crack off around the dowels or you could cut along the seam .

[@craigeslim7212]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete thanks for the reply!

[@richb7524]

Love your videos. Was wondering tho, plastic/foam under the stone or on top? I see it both ways and figured it's the application.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

It works either way

[@johnrussell6620]

At 16:00, without fiber and curing compound, you predict cracks maybe as early as 1-3 days. ... How was the original driveway installed, and did it have any cracking like you would expect, with current quality concrete in a new driveway made without fiber and CC? How do the 2 driveways compare today and a year from now? I don't think fiber was used in the first DW as it is kind of a new thing isn't it?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes, fiber was used on the first original driveway. It's very common in hot dry climates.

Hey Dave, at what length do you put in an expansion joint?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I dont find a need for those in my climate

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Amazing work...

Thanks a lot 😊

[@Yorkie285]

Good job.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thanks!

[@leonjbarela]

Heck yeah another video

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

You are first TY

[@AzN588]

I know gravel is sometimes not needed and you always say it depends. Doing a DIY patio at home in sacramento CA, is gravel needed? Love your videos!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Probably not but I haven't seen the ground there

[@samm8866]

No more fiberglass rebar?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Hard to source

[@user-gn1ic9ww8q]

same as using a HVLP sprayer

[@iMiik]

how late into the year can you pour concrete?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I've been pouring year round.

[@iMiik]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete awesome thank you!

[@454renteria8]

Fiber and couring compound 👍 I just wish that brush was 50% horse hair 50% nylon lol jk great videos keep up the good work.

Sawzall and a ten inch wood blade works wonders on tree roots

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I tried the Sawzall as well, and it wasn't penetrating

[@californiacritic9779]

Carry a recipricating saw for those roots.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I had one it got burned up too

[@DoubleDoubleWithOnions]

Yeah, the work isn't hard enough. Let's do it in 115 degree heat. You guys are nuts. 😀

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Challenges it what makes it fun. Plus I have some stories to tell you

[@ovidiuciuparu6421]

13:03 I’m sorry but at 115 degrees! No one will vome there to the desert!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I think you would be surprised

[@jamespurse5225]

Would have preferred rebar instead of that wire mesh

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Pink bars is a good alternative

[@doctoroctos]

We got one truck, they forgot to put the fiber in. The next truck we couldn’t see fiber. The plant manager guaranteed there was fiber. The plant manager was so mad he drove an hour out to the job site. Sure enough, the last couple yards all the fiber came out all matted and balled up. The fiber wasn’t mixed well at all. Cement cracked all over the place. Bad batch. No discounts. That was back when it was cheap $220/yard3000psi. Now they want $400

[@JonnyDIY]

Woah 400 a yard!? Where are you at!???

[@doctoroctos]

@@JonnyDIY Hawaii. Its not a monopoly, but it might as well be one. We have two companies, so a 'duopoly' and price control happening.

[@JonnyDIY]

@@doctoroctos ohh ok makes more sense now. Geez that's brutal pricing, but what are you gonna do

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Wow where are you at? That's exspensive

U went all the way to arizona? I live in l a county, and you told me it was too far.What gives?

He’s said it in other videos. His dad is older and he wanted to take care of him.

Thats good for you because my sons can still do your job, if you really have one?

LOL! There is no such word as decomposure. It is the name of a Canadian musician though.

Chairs dont work with that thin wire mesh
