    Tis my opinion that Mr. Odell is perhaps the most knowledgable concrete contractor and finisher on YT with his years of practical experience of how concrete reacts and its limitations and how to properly form and drain slope it out. Always calm and full of helpful insight at preparation beforehand with more helpful knowledge explaining after the pour and finish. Bravo, sir.

He made it to 85 and helped build a lot of the structures in washington idaho and montana. I tell you this because you remind me of him in your ability to teach and the world needs more people like that. Keep up the good work.

    It’s just amazing! I always learn something every time I watch one of your videos. That was a great idea of thrown those boulders down, and then putting bag concrete down there and let it just form with the boulders and dry. That’ll give him extra protection. You are definitely #1 smart dude, with a lot of experience. Love your show, your son is super too. He’s definitely following in your footsteps. Thanks again.

    I stumbled onto your channel by accident; not a craftsman of any sort, just someone who enjoys the building trades and has fun (😂?) trying to keep an old house together. I hafta say, your description of the concrete trade and the dynamics of running a business makes for some of the most fascinating and enjoyable content on the interwebs. I have even started making garden pavers with exposed rock and fire glass as gifts for our friends, and it is the most fun project I have probably ever started. Thank you so much for giving me the knowledge and confidence to try something new! Best wishes from Tony in Raleigh, NC.

    The skeleton structure is the ruins of the never finished Emerald River Resort. Don’t know the full story on why it fizzled out but there was a great challenging golf course that I played on the grounds in the late 90’s. The course ended up closing because the property was supposed to be redeveloped but that fell through as well

    Nice form work. Is retainer wall attached to ground for new addition other than being anchored/pinned to existing slab? Waterfront I now only use basalt re-bar many times stronger than steel no rust and expands at same rate as the concrete completly eliminating spalling concerns and with basalt fibre added to mix is almost crack proof with wet curing. Seems to me this type job would be a great canidate for Basalt, what do you think? Ray Stormont

  • @MikeHarris1984
    @MikeHarris1984 8 місяців тому

    Did you push concrete into the void under the existing slab to hold it back up, or push dirt back in there? Or just with the rebar dowels drilled in and connected to your new wall you built out, just basically using that to hold up the slab and your wall now holds the bulk of the weight that is floating in the air where it erroaded away under the existing slab?
    I've seen companies fill wil expanding foam, and actually here in Phoenix, part of the freeway offramp for the SR51 HOV ramp that connects to I-10 south/east bound, after a massive rainstorm a few years ago, the part of the ramp that changes from the bridge overhead to the engineered soil wall on the ground where it goes down to the freeway level, it sinked a few inches causing you the have a sudden DROP while driving (and you felt it)... and this was after 15-20 years being there. But about a year later, ADOT just pumped expanding foam by drilling a hole into the engineered wall and raising the road way up. And it worked, to this day, 5+ years later, still good as new. I know they did it by the next day, there was a long string of foam that came out of the hold and dripping down the wall... after a few edays, they cleaned it up, patched the holes and painted and now you never know it. But pretty cool they were able to lift an entire roadway with expanding foam.

    • @OdellCompleteConcrete
      @OdellCompleteConcrete  8 місяців тому

      I've seen that product in demo's.
      The only only problems I see are too much foam, over elevating, or sub grade no to par.
      I think the ground sinking may be due to ground water removal.
      I like the concept though.

    Since you did not dig down at the New edge of the concrete you pour will not hold. The water will go under and undermine the new concrete. You Always dig down at least 24 inch on the water side so the water will not wash out under the New concrete. This makes a beam and the water will have to go down over and then back up to the bottom of the walk way.
