Hours scouring UA-cam and Google for how to box out a shower like this and your video is the only one that shows how it's done. Thank you!
Exactly the same here
No doubt the best video on UA-cam, maybe the internet, about this subject. The skill and talent really shows in this video, Big respect for people who are OK with being filmed for work.

And respect for the proud
No bullshit music and a real explanation of what is going on. Subscribed.
Watching these videos is like going to trade school, and actually learning a trade. Thanks for taking the time to share your skills...!

We just need some hands on training and we would kill it out there

The amount of details in this job is huge!
Excellent work! 👍👍👍👍👍
Yes

You didn't disappoint 👍
45 years in carpentry and masonry along with other things. I always keep and open mind!! Thats how you learn and get better at you're Kraft!!
I learned a few new things from your video!! Ty very much Hi from Boston🖐

You guys are the real deal. Salute to you and the homeowner! Awesome. Thanks!!
TY
I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share. I've been in the tile industry for 48 years, contracting for 35. Learned a lot along the way about various trades but not critical details on concrete. I'll certainly be utilizing your offerings as I begin doing smaller room additions and such now that I'm retiring from daily contracting. Thanks for bringing us along.
Great
GL
TY
You always offer so much great detail in your narration. This one is exceptional. Keep on...
All the contractors I know have nothing but respect for roofers, but I roofed for quite a while and I have nothing but respect for concrete contractors. Keep your backs strong and pockets full boys! Great work!
I understand
Ty
That's weird, in Australia both roof tilers abd roof plumbers aswell as conceters are dodgy and overpriced...usually
I love watching your videos and your discussion not only about the concrete, but also about some of the other aspects related to the job AFTER your part is complete.
Thanks
In the 50s and 60s Residential/ Commercial Concrete Construction was the family business when I was growing up and with my Uncle, Brother, and Brother-in-law all branching off and starting their own firm's labor was in much demand. So by the time I graduated from High School, I knew the trade Residental side well but Uncle Sam called and I was off to war. They made me into an Electrician and I never look back after that. Other than code changes I see the trade has not changed much, one, thing though is the kneeboards, wow great, what a time saver, and the rebar shear, (we used bolt cutters), in my day that would have been concrete block and wire mesh job except for the foundation tie into the house. I really enjoy watching you and your crew getten-er-done.
Things keep changing.
People are pretty much the same
Beautiful job. When I was growing up in Indio, Ca, my Dad used to do the ground work and setting up the rebar and 2x lumber when working on the family home. I watered the finished cement for days after the pour. I like the way you make each job personal and treat each job like it was your project that you were working on. Your pride in workmanship shows.
TY
A weird question, did you happen to know a girl named Brianna Soto in Indio?
Awesome explanation while working! Thank you for breaking things down so well for us.

Really great presentation. Well thought out and developed. I learned a number of tips. My hat is off to the home owner! I am also a serious DIY but have never undertaken o project of this magnitude. My wife won’t let me attempt constructing a master bedroom suite on our existing house, so I’ll have to work with a contracter!
I hear that
GL
TY
Love how in depth and calm he is explaining step by step....
TY
This was the first time I've heard about the plastic forms. WOW! Even though you didn't use them in this video I hope you'll do a video showing them. They are so cool! I have a big project and will definitely order some. I've always hated trashing boards for forms and now I won't have to. Thanks. I love how your videos are informative and real without all the BS and personality others seem to have to put in. Just getting the job done.
Maybe I'll use some one day
TY
Very pleasing to watch every step. Even when I'm away from work. I'm happiest watching concrete get poured.
Me too
TY
Learned alot, thank you. Looks great.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for posting. I’m learning a lot from your videos. God bless Odell
TY
I just wish I was fit enough to do this myself. At least I can check on whether someone that I employ is doing things correctly. Thanks for sharing.

I have to say that I'm impressed. Watching how experts go through their process allows us to understand the value of the experience it has taken to get to this level of craftsmanship. The ONLY thing that this DIY'er can see that was missing from this video was the way the re-bar ties into the existing foundation were brought in to line with the planned slab. (Yes, I know it seems obvious but, as said I'm a DIY'er.) Nice Messrs O'Dell. Much appreciated. Thank You.
TY
GL
Good commentary, thanks. And I appreciate your talking about curing, as concrete is a chemical reaction that hardens over time and does best with watering. It eventually drys, but the cure is the key.
Yes
TY
Much better than the classes I had with the carpenters union.
I'll bet
TY
Great job! Both Odell and the homeowner. I would like to see his finished product of that addition.
You and me both!
This is the right way to do things ❤❤❤ much love.
Nice work! Would love to see the finished room addition.
We will when we start on phase two
This is almost ASMR! Reminds me of watching golf! Really helpful.and informative, keep it up! 👍
I appreciate your detailed narrative. Very informative! 👍

Great video. The whole time I was thinking it would've been cool if the homeowner went with concrete walls too, maybe even cheaper than wood frame with the current cost of lumber.
Great point!
Maybe some day
Still have to use lumber to form it up, maybe cmu or icf is the way to go now
Concrete walls are nightmare....electrical, plumbing hanging cabinets, drywall...its way more difficult
Thank you very much you are share us how to Concrete Foundation for a Room Addition.
I worked with an engineer in CA for 40 years. There is such a thing as over reinforcing concrete. #3 @ 18"o.c. is better for slab on grade. Anchor bolt spacing is tied to the shear wall above. if your shear walls are over 6' long, 5/8" AB @ 48"o.c. probably would have been fine. Too bad engineers are so expensive because they can save the cost of needless over design. Over design is not better. It is simply a waste of resources. Don't forget to cut crack control joints. Great job. Great video.
I believe over engineering is a real issue of concern
unfortunally ACI code requires a min on 0.0018bh for minimum reinforcement to minimize cracking this is also noted on the latest version of the CBC. as an example 0.0018(4"thick by 18" strip) = 0.1296 square inch of steel and a #3 is 0.11 square inch which is less than allowed by code).
This video really helped me grasp the concept!
Great

10 dislikes? Possible from people who are to lazy to do it the correct way
I can only imagine it’s other concrete firms lol
Yes. What he's doing would never get approved in many countries
There are no dislikes anymore. Well you can't see em anyways.
Nice job. A lot of work for a small extra room
Yes it is
"DIY" with lots of assistants, but I'm impressed with his work.

Incredible video production and highly professional job you give your industry a good name

$65/board! Wood is expensive nowadays!
Yes it is insane
Perfect video would love the rest on how to build the rest of add on great video over all
Me too

I sure hope the homeowner used Mobil 1 synthetic when he sprayed the boards
He had Castrol
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Noooooo!
@@OdellCompleteConcrete at least cut with some diesel?
That look good...only thing was an expansion joint required according to building codes?
Why Mobil 1? What does that do?
Quality concrete practice, excellent finish.

I hear that.

Great video man!

thank you for this video...hugely valuable resource!
Glad it was helpful!
Once again thank you for the video Odell. And the detailed commentary.
Glad you enjoyed it!
HOW MANY EMPLOYEES DO YOU SUJJEST HAVING TO STARING A CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION CO.
Looks great man
TY
Thank you for sharing your hard work and talent. Great video.
TY
"Burning it black". I love it.
looks good but I would recommend to blow out the holes with more air pressure such as a air compressor using a air nozzle with a 6" stem. Getting as most of the dust out is important. Also, when installing the rebar into the hole after injecting the epoxy, I would twist it slowly into the hole and then pack the any extra around any voids.
Sounds good except for the packing part
Impressive work! You're a true craftsman. 👍😎
TY
Another very well done job Mr Odell
TY
Concrete looks more like water! The setup was awesome!
I wish
TY
Can someone explain how they got the form to where it is at the start of the video? Like how far they dug down for their foundation, and how wide, and if they had to clear off a couple of inches of the topsoil and how they did that to make it level, etc. I thought this said from scratch but they're already halfway into the project
Are u dumb??
I love your work
Ty
Try suggesting stamping the slab, big savings on flooring. I stamped wood planks in mine and it turned out fantastic. Great job!
Great idea!!
TY
ThankYou. Good communication and attention to detail. Your explanation paints a God picture! Stephen australia
TYj
Great video showing the essential, Thanks for sharing your valuable experience....
Great video. Love the DIY aspect to this. Looks like he dropped that shower stall about 2" in the slab. I always get confused why sometimes gravel is placed above the plastic liner like you did here, and other times below it.
Tile will be built up for a handicap stall flush to floor
Dude, I'm normally not very easily impressed !!! My hat off to yo you and Homowner Great job 👍 👊
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful to see all the details of the work

TY
Yep ~ great video!! Thank you! I’m inspired to move forward with my project!
You can do it!
Another great job guys.

Great job as always to the home owner also
I concur
TY
Very nice as always. I'm outsourcing a 18'x18'x4" slab pour in an old shed and the guy who's going to do it was impressed that I did the prep work so well and that we both watch your videos. :) I usually bag mix but this is too large and I don't have the gear / experience yet. Have you ever done a video on dealing with concrete trucks and special things to consider when using one? I want to do a couple slab pours later this summer for parking pads and am using this shed pour for the experience.
That's great.
I haven't did a dedicated video, but I talk about that in some videos
You guys are the best!
