Happy Fourth
Odell and his crew are second to none. Pride and skill show in this job.

David, I watch quite a number of channels, including those who do concrete and hard scape/brick/stone, and I find that your easy-going disposition and your description that isn’t insulting to the listener is all great. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
I agree with Michael’s comment
Fun to hear you speaking Spanglish to the crew, David. Your commentary is really good. You answer our questions before we can ask. “What are those pencil marks for?” “What kind of drain are you putting in there?”
I love watching the completed projects they look so nice!!!
WOW looking great
Great job David. I have to say I've started working on my backyard about a year and half ago doing a little on the weekends and your channel is the number one channel I watch to learn about concrete. Whether it's how to properly install drains or learning tips and trick to laying block, I really appreciate your videos. Keep up the great work!!
Sounds great!
TY
Love the way you communicate with your crew, teaching them new techniques and building your crews up
At the same some lol love it
Such wonderful work and a genuinely nice person who really cares about his business and the work he does for his clients.
I love your videos and I'm not even a masonry guy...well maybe I am at heart. You and your crew inspired me to take on my own backyard concrete projects. Thanks for the great examples of professionalism and craftsmanship.
Go for it!

Will do

Laying blocks in that heat took some doing .Great hard graft and another decent job we have temps of 86 in wales today for a change 🤣🏴🏴🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👊🧱🧱
Sounds like beach weather
@@OdellCompleteConcrete
Have to enjoy it here it wont last long 🤣🤣🇺🇸🏴👍👊
At 28:08 I remember I called a buddy I usually order from and he's usually prompt but one day I ordered 3 yards and my guy was too busy so he refered me to the ready mix driver on this video..he showed up 2 hours late ...mannn
Wow
That sucks
Have a great 4th of July!!
you too
YOU ARE ONE STOP SHOP !

Bellísimo trabajo 🧱👊💪🙏

damn that looks expensive, great work guys!

Wish folks in parts of the country with tornados would look at our SoCal wall construction techniques. Seems like a concrete filled, rebarred wall would be stronger than concrete blocks with a skim coat between the blocks.
true
Nice job David! And your spanish pronunciation is getting pretty good ;) Keep learning and improving it!
I'm working on it.
TY
Brilliant work and love the content! can I ask what do you record your videos on and what microphones are you using? Ive just started recording my work so learning the video side off things.
Go pros and standard mics
Was there horizontal bars in there also? Or just verticals on the bottom? Didn't see any horizontals being placed in on either corse.
As always..phenomenal work!! I have a question. You're the only expert I know of with this type of work...I am planning on putting up a 8X8X16 Double split face wall and the blocks I have been buying have an open end...is that something new? I've noticed the blocks you're using on this project, as well as past, have four sides...from your experience, is this gonna be a problem for me?
It's easier to set open end block over rebar.
Hello Happy Independence Day!!
Quick question when your excavating do you get a service to locate the utilities or is that not an issue because of the depth you’re working with?
All the utilities come from the back yard on this property
Tricks out of the hat . Didn't expect the actual hat to be one
Thats the trick
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Don't get it
👏👏💯💯
Question. Would you say that in ground that sees a good amount of expansion each year, is it better to set your first course of blocks in the foundation concrete or set it in mortar?
In the concrete footing is always better if it's possible
I'm doing a 6' x 100' block wall/fence what's the price range I should be at?
I would have wanted brick columns/posts where the wall ends at the mouth of the driveway, but other than that, looks great.
He is going to put a rolling gate in there
Question that first row of bricks, is that still done with concrete? The reason I ask is I want to install low voltage landscape lights, but I need to drill through the cinderblock. It will be better to just drove through the second one in the row.
Good idea
GL
Where you “keyed” beneath the pad, do you worry about compaction? What laser lever do you use?
I think he uses a dewalt
Do you specify what size rocks to use. I think we all want that “self leveling” concrete!
That would be nice
How cold does it get there
Had to save
great
When your good. Your 👍

Hey David, what is the tool your using to tie the rebar together...I live in Thailand and haven't seen it here?
Makita rebar tier
Get it on

Nice video, I upvoted it. I wonder why the workers in Portugal do not add mud to the ends of the blocks? They also lay only one single line of mud under a block right in the center, instead of two rows on the edges. Are they doing it wrong? Also the Portuguese do not seem to add lime or fire clay. They only mix gravel, stone powder and cement (for concrete) or marine sand and cement (for blocks). Using marine sand later walls give out salt crystals. Can one trust buildings in Portugal especially in the Azores, where earthquakes do happen?
You build with whatever you have available
Adding marine sand is basically what the Romans did when they added sea shells to concrete mixes, marine sand will have calcium deposits, the calcium actually seals the concrete and makes it stronger, so if it cracks and then you get rain, the cracks gets closed up by the calcium. The calcium is better than lime. Pantheon still standing, with all its concrete beauty.
I have to do something similar at my house. Is it more cost effective to do block vs form and concrete?
Yes
Excelente trabajo,yo necesito un par de esos guantes, cuándo me los envía,a Colombia 😂.
Un saludo cordial.
TY Jesus
In the very beginning what's that long thin thing that looks like a....ah...STRING!!!!!
Yeah, Dave discovered string that bends to any radius. You caught it!
👍
How do u protect your blocks and Supply's from being stolen
No need to protect the blocks.
Today's thieves are lazy and go for the easy money stuff
I don't know where ur from but here in the San Francisco bay area? But I've been on jobs they stolen the fencen around the jobs, and taken the time to let all the copper wire.
@@mikeklein318 dang
You have gangster thieves out there
@@mikeklein318 copper wire is not heavy.
The fance maybe it was vinyl fencing. That's all light stuff.
Blocks are heavy
How much should a home owner save up to get a job like this done? I have a home in Atlanta.
7500
How much for something like this?
Is it possible to dry stack blocks and fill it in every other hole?
yes
@@OdellCompleteConcrete so why do people use mortar these days?
Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸

3:44 The neighbor will love the outdent past the property line. Shouldn't the retaining wall be completely on the client side?
Shared property line wall
🍺
David as a younger man it would have been enjoyable to work under your relaxed supervision
That's what I hear
I must have missed why the top course is thinner block ?
Decorative
This is where you send the new labor for the "radius line"
Bingo
Was a structural engineer involved in the design of this wall?
Yes
I'd appreciate if you enabled captioning on this video and future videos.
Good idea
TY
Ждём. Удиви!
