Really enjoying seeing projects and vids from all 3 of the teams, with all of them being finished and completed to a very high standard!

The first time I helped pour steps in the 1960s was a personal nightmare for me. It was so a blind person had a safe path to travel. The steps had to be carefully measured and the width had to be wide enough and with safe sides so she did not have surprise hazards. Inside I wanted it to be the safest she could have. The inspector loved it and the blind woman was grateful. Still it took some time for me to relax.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Wow im surprised she didn’t opt for a ramp

Thanks for the iteresting video. I have existing concrete but its sloped. Can i pour a concrete footing on top to start a post and beam deck?

[@eschrader]

I got to so a similar stair pour. Instead of the 4500 bag mix, what mix would you diy? Portland, #60 silica and 3/8 aggregate 1:2:3? Looking for the best looking concrete steps I can make! 😀

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

No silica, washed sand

[@Jesse-ve5oo]

For someone that's trying to learn how to bid concrete, would you mind telling how you bid steps or stairs? Is by the s.f. as you do your slabs or is it by the step and l.f.? And can you give us a ballpark on how much you bid this job for? Thank you and great job as always!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

I just calculate material cost and labor cost and factor in the profit I want to make. I usually never go by sqft

[@danwalters4865]

Even though the steel is a tight fit it should be have epoxy. Those rebar/steel dowels will pull out….. for 1/2” rod you need to drill 5/8” hole and use epoxy

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Drill and drive was around long before epoxies

[@danwalters4865]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete yes it was ( drill and drive) and a lot of steps and porches have settled.

You should re glaze the rest of the old concrete to look new again.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Yes homeowner said he would do this in the future

lot of dust there mike...H&S exec over here would have none of that (UK)

He ain't showing up, but then again once it's all completely prepped, WHO ELSE HAS HAD THAT EXPERIENCE? SOUND FAMILIAR?

Haha very true.. they don’t wna do demo

[@anastasios3006]

Wouldn't it be easier to have the concrete delivered by truck? Making it with bags is way more expensive. Connecting the old concrete to the new concrete, i normally secure the rebar rods with Ramset (epoxy), let it set, no problem.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Concrete delivery for that is 850.00. Drill and drive works.

[@anastasios3006]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete In Melbourne, Australia, 1 cubic metre 18 mpa delivered locally costs $260 AUS. One 20kg concrete bag makes 0.01 cubic meters, costs $9. You would need 100 bags for 1 cubic meter, costing $900. I always get it delivered when a large quantity is needed. Cheers & your videos are great 👍
