Appreciate that and would have been a good time!

[@MikeHarris1984]

I love it when the rebar grid and everything is lined up so perfect like that freaking beautiful! Sad all that nice work is going to be covered up with concrete dirt and block, but at least the homeowner's know they have a damn good foundation there. That thing's not caving in or giving way for anything!

Omg every time he bend over to slide the block down, I kept getting chills because of how close the rebar was to poking your eye out. Definitely should’ve put caps on those since there’s also a high ground not too far from them.

Careful with trip hazards around vertical rebar, like a form board partially removed stuck up in the air for hours

[@imhooks]

Great job. Wall looks great. For the Henry's waterproofing. You should be able to roll it on with a low nap roller. Also looks like majority of the grout lines didn't receive the waterproofing. Isn't that the most permeable part of a CMU wall?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

In-between the blocks, yes. I like to put it on thick with a red rubber float.

[@wesleypayne1846]

This stuff looks like tar My dad said they always used to dilute it down with diesel fuel and roll it on

[@garciaizm]

I only saw horizontal rebar at the top, did you guys do that every corse? Great work it’s coming together nicely

That was definitely a lot of rebar and footer support for that concrete block retaining wall. Excellent job with it though.

[@jennifer9528]

5:33 Oh yeahhhh, work those anterior delts!! I might have tried using a separate trowel (one not used to lay the masonry) to apply the water proofing. But I've never done it, myself, so take that for what it's worth.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Good points

Line dogs, dog bones, or stretchers are what I hear most of the time in the north east.

Sweet job, I always wondered how these are built I’m a general/roofing contractor in San Diego, nest time try tremco below grade waterproofing it is roll on, still gross though, I have a lot of experience with Henry’s mastic, the glove is the best way also leave it in the sun to make it easier to work with.

From what i can remember my dad always added isopropyl alcohol to his water proofing and then roller brushed it on. That was over 30 years ago so I don't know what they are using now days for water proofing, or if it's the same stuff as back then.

[@cbudrecki]

I’ve been looking for a idea with standard block for a retaining wall! Looking at doing a similar project with my yard. Part of my wall would be the back wall of a garage, so I can’t really use stepped and textured retaining wall block. I would love to see a video talking with the engineer who designed that!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Good idea

[@steveramirez1654]

[@kevinhornbuckle]

To get the water proofing workable, throw on a blob. Then use an electric heat gun to make it more workable. It trowels around more quickly when a little warmed up.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Good idea

[@SIE44TAR]

I use the 5 gal Black Jack metal pail. Leaving it in the sun works if the weather is warm but I have also put it on a turkey fryer gas burner set on the lowest flame possible to get it nice and runny. Then it will brush on easy.

Does not leaving wood in concrete make it a weak point?

[@CastleKing13]

I left a comment on the last video but it got deleted. I was trying to offer some friendly advice about easements because I write them for our utility company. I also deal with the legal department on situations like you have here. I can with probably guess what happened here. You hit the line, call AT&T, they come out to look at the damage, they call land and right of way to check for an easement, they check, see there is an easement and their property (trunk cable) was covered, they call legal, legal says yes charge them. You get a bill. With that said good luck and hopefully you covered yourself.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Guess what, if you watched the video it's self explanatory

[@CastleKing13]

@@OdellCompleteConcrete I watched the video just like I have for the past 4 years or so. I enjoy them and they’re helpful being that I’m not in the concrete business. I’ve already said where my knowledge was. I can tell by your snide comment and the removal of my last comment you don’t appreciate the advice I gave. Or you’re upset because of the mistake you made and realize how much worse it could be in the future. I explained the process so you knew when our property get hit, legal gets involved. It’s a process most people (including field employees) don’t know. I offered very sound advice to help you and others. Like when people are asking, why is AT&T on private property? And you answer “no idea”. That’s literally what an easement is used for. To get permission to be on private property. We don’t need permission to be on public. Or when you reply ” it should’ve been overhead”, again that shows you have no idea how this works. I wasn’t trash talking or being negative. If someone was giving bad advice on building a block wall or pouring concrete, wouldn’t you try to help them out? Aren’t your videos on here to help people? You’re giving some bad advice on easements (a legal document) and I was just trying to help. Good luck 👍 I know there are tons of contractors that watch these videos. My advice to all of you is, if you run into a problem like this, at minimum ask the property owner to request a copy of the easement.

[@rogeronslow1498]

I normally leave the concrete to set for at least three days before building on it.

[@JonnyDIY]

Howd you get the drain line to the other side of the wall? Did under it? Or did you pipe it on last video, cant remember. PS- No pump and you bought 90lb bags! 😂 My backs too weak for those these days. I'd be pumping

Hi there Tim Odell, Ashley Abrahams from a small town called Paarl in Cape Town South Africa. I started watching Odell Complete Concrete for more than 2 years now and like all the videos, yours and your brother’s. Your last video however that massive backyard project, I noticed when you finished the block wall, the two steel plates for the deck you put in had no safety caps on and can easily cut someone when not noticing. I am very causes over safety wherever I work and particularly in construction and just hoping that you take in consideration on your future projects. Keep well and GOD BLESS.

Great work. But where is the horizontal rebar. U never showed that. And no, it’s not overkill at all. You should have poured a solid wall. Boom

[@ExcaVision_LA]

Job looks nice just need to rethink that waterproofing ! They sell better waterproofing products that you can roll on like paint n the only difference is just thicker

[@ccgsales]

What happened to the pool @13:50 ? Are they resurfacing or painting it?

[@MikeHarris1984]

Why did you guys choose to do block rather than form it and do a solid concrete wall? I mean I assume block would be cheaper overall perhaps because you would need to build out the rebar grid and everything if you did it formed set up but then with labor and everything else I wonder which would have been cheaper overall but either way looks freaking awesome

[@jerryhill4946]

[@themasonrycompany.]

Minimum $175.00 a linear ft. It depends on if you need the cut back of hill

[@RHYS.TV123]

Interesting choice of placement for your bottom “runt” layer of 3/4 cut blocks. The blocks at the bottom of a stack should be the strongest, especially when doing a retaining wall (lateral earth force). Did the engineering account for this? Why not just cut the uppermost blocks to grade?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

For sure.

[@Notrocketscience101]

I always thought there was some thing behind a retaining wall to keep it from bulging out, what holds this wall up with all that dirt behind it?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

All the rebar cement and block

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Man thats overkill for a wall wow

[@mib20000]

I wonder if they could of made a retaining wall on the perimiter and then filled the rest of the yard with fill to the height of the pool.. they would have to 86 the sliding doors.

[@teresamexico309]

That retaining wall is going no where. I wonder if the rebar/concrete under the block wall was too much (I know it was from the engineer design). Also, besides the work for the crew with the concrete mixing, doing it manually gives them more time to fill the blocks in a much detailed way than with the concrete truck. Nice jobs guys!

[@AraCarrano]

Did the fiber trunk really get encapsulated?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Maybe. But it should be overhead anyways

[@thomasjay975]

does the waterproofing not need to be on the mortar or the seams of the blocking? Seems like an access point for water to me, especially if the mortar job had some gapage, gives a spot for water to work its way in and erode

100% coverage is best
