Another smooth operation, well done. The homeowner will be able to park a tank on that!!

This guy is the best in the west. That Bobcat operator couldn’t pull this off.

[@alexanderpetkov3648]

That looks amazing! Glad you're back!🤩

Thank you for showing us through the foundation plan. I had never seen one before, and did not realise they were so detailed. Thank you for teaching me something new.

Awesome video !!! Professionals ! In large foundation pours do y’all pour the footings first just like y’all did in this video ??

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

A small portion at a time

[@alexbowie6316]

Pulled a few cards out of the hat there David. Hand dig, blockwork, plumbing, strip foundation and slab the lot.

Good looking clean job wish our addition plans inspections in phoenix didn’t have such strict overkill on plans seems we make additions built to outlast existing house foundations so much rebar and concrete ugh 😩

[@rogpadilla6777]

Well done man. Are you able to work in Boyle Heights, 1 mile east of Downtown LA?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

possibly

[@rogpadilla6777]

There are two contracts (one immediate, the second 2024 delayed because of LADBS). Immediate: Demolish 3 top block lines(59’ long) and replace with 4 new block lines using 6x8 Angelus Harvest Split Face and Color, Smooth Block (I'll buy block from Angelus). Mortar type S 823 SpecMix, with 1/2 rebar. Reason for demolish? Contractor used the wrong type of block. The house is in Boyle Heights, off the 5 freeway near DTLA and I’m the owner. Roger

[@rogpadilla6777]

The second contract is a basement addition which involves escavating and pouring new foundation walls and floors. LADBS just pulled a bunny out of their asses by requiring a methane test, after going through 4 plan check sessions. Just hired contractor to do that test, and we hope that final plans will be approved by middle of 2024.

[@ennisgunns]

Anyone else an expert in concrete because of this channel? You should see me, the smugness, the judgement. And I've never poured concrete in my life.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Maybe someday

[@JonnyDIY]

😂driving round neighborhood observing concrete pours. "Sir who are you and what are your qualifications?" "Calm down Im Odell certified with 10,000 logged KZbin hours" 😆💕👏👍

Good line

[@joseartiaga3048]

Do you always have to put sand before the plastic or can you put plastic right on top of the native soil

[@scott7446]

Thanks for sharing

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

My pleasure

[@jackmill4235]

I enjoy your videos, I know it is a pain, but it would be nice to see the finished addition.

Noted!

NICE 👍 notifications are not working, got to fix that

Oh no! TY

[@appleforever6664]

I always like to use Schedule 80 on pressure side of the sprinkler valve. Better to be safe!

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Good idea

[@adoniasgarcia3342]

Great job, I love your videos. Quick question. How big does a wall need to be in order to get inspection for building and safety. I want to make a planter 4 ft high. Do I need inspection for that?

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Any wall over 3' high

[@barrypierce9100]

Nice job

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes it’s annoying you have to get your own house and property inspected. If you own it how can they tell you what you can and can’t do

[@KimoKimochii]

Those Cali inspections are brutal, do the inspect what you eat for lunch or if the tires on your trucks are good.

Yes and your stool sample

What type of slab concrete style is this why not just take all the dirt out and fill the whole thing with concrete ?

Off set on side in our area way to small from property line.

[@Erik_Thorsvik]

What do you mean when you say "The homeowner kept it wet all night?" Is this on purpose? Thank you.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

He kept the concrete wet as in spraying water on it. It makes the concrete much stronger as it cures.

[@Mark-z7d6h]

He kept his wife wet all night 😂

[@robertnash2446]

I like everything...but I think you should saw-cut that slab so it will crack on the saw-cuts even though the slab maybe covered.

[@OdellCompleteConcrete]

225 sq.ft is maximum for foundation cuts. This 180 sq.ft. but its still possible to do,

Have you noticed Calif is restricting sprayer heads?
