Glad to see you power washed the sidewalk and repaired the yard. Very professional.
TY
My dad has been a brick and block mason for 48 years and said he wouldn't change a thing. Said it's one of the most rewarding feelings every time he finishes a project!! 👏🏼
Great
TY
With all my respect,as a fellow Carpenter/Mason ..... for future reference,you want to minimize the clean up process,we be laying down some black building paper to protect the sidewalk,red tape to hold it down and avoid the stucco getting on anything else but the intended area.......for a clean, professional finish, God bless you guys,stay positive,be safe .....
I like that idea

He's just another concrete/block guy trying to pretend he knows stucco. They are all over scamming people here on the eastcoast. Hier a professional STUCCO MAN if you want stucco done right
No steel in the foundation? Yep def scamming . You cant pour a foundation without steel
@@LF12468 those men worked per 60 yrs ago none of you come close we did not have some of the tools you have today ,you would have never made it roughing it.
@junny16 it's a footing for a wall with vertical rebar going into the footing and solid grouting. WTH are you talking about?
Beautiful job, brother! I love how you even made the gate yourself. Our country needs more gentleman like you who do practical, beautiful work, and take pride in it !
Sounds good
TY
Great work. Let’s not forget the amazing workers that underpin this company. They also do an amazing job.
For sure
TY
If I lived on that corner I would have a couple of large boulders in front.
Far better idea than solid yet another fence!
@Hit the ground running, look up the video of the dude who hit the large boulder in a round about. Sent him air born like 20 feet.
i was going to buy a house on a corner all it had was a chain link fence. right before signing paperwork a car drove right into it
I’d have a couple trees on outside corner there and one smaller 15-20 ft in the actual front yard. Not only would your house be safe it would also provide a little sound dampening
I've done just about anything you could think of on buildings in regards to trade work, but never site excavation and foundation construction. I have now filled and compacted about 400-500 yards of stone here in Hawaii, on top of muck and almost bare lava at two different sites, quite different than the mainland! Now we are starting a 8"x8"x16" block perimeter footing for a cabin. I've gone through a lot of videos and this one puts the cap on all the issues I have been explaining to the owner, my sons friend that has zero experience, but wants to learn how to build whole houses. My son and he are working on 5 lots, 2 of which are ready for base course and to start the build. Several issues we have been discussing are clarified nicely in this video. Filling all the cores and rebar in every cell, and the stucco to make it look nice if we don't like how it comes out. Your video about the retain wall and driveway we talked about yesterday covered most of it very well, but this one really brought out the points we were most concerned with. Thanks, and keep up that SoCal attitude you have. I was in San Diego for 40 years, and two in LA. Much appreciated.

Beautiful craftmanship! You guys have to be proud of what you are doing.
Yes we are
TY
Love your detailed videos! I was able to build a 60'x18" walkway wall using techniques demonstrated in your videos. You really do a great service to all the DIY homeowners with concrete projects. It would be really interesting to know how much your various projects cost (meaning the price to the customer). Not sure if that's confidential. At least a reasonable price range for a similar project would be appreciated. Thanks again for documenting all your great work.
Great idea
GL
TY
Your son is a great craftsman as his father... Be proud...
Always enjoy
Ty
So much respect for this job with the detail and knowledge. I’m a DIYer and will always call professionals for this kinda work
I appreciate that!
You need to do a follow up as soon as a car goes through it.
Yes , How to repair cement block wall !
Or gets tagged with spray paint graffiti.
Doubt it
Why the hate y'all?
@@batukkiller1607 yeah prob live in shitty neighborhoods. Thats why they expect it. Or they are the reason their neighborhood is shitty
Now I want a wall like that!
Smart Work, Hard Work, OCC Team Work!.. Thanks David
For sure
TY
Love this wall!! I have a blank slate so I hope I can build something like this. Thank you for sharing!!👏👍

Great Job Timmy Crew! Your pops must be proud 🥲
yes TY
Thank you Mr. Odell, just learned how install a gate and set a block wall.
Awesome
GL
No rebar in the footer?
Im a current mason by the way.
@@perrisjoco180 you don’t always have to put rebar. “There are many ways to wipe your ass” don’t let that go over your head.
@@BruceWayne-ue5dj but there is always a right way .I have seen and gone to fix walls and they crack from the top all the way to the footer because there is no rebar and they use that fine pebbled concrete. It would be acceptable if they dug deeper and used big rocks and portland cement with sand mortar to set them. I have built foundations in the USA and Mexico where we do this all the time. And if you think theres multiple ways to wipe your ass there will always be a right way. You must be the type to wipe you ass with your fingers and rinse your hands afterwards. Or the type to rinse your ass in the sink. Go back to playing videogames.
Very nice I think you enhanced the value by putting this wall up. Thank you for sharing your video with us. Ed
TY
Nice to see the boys takin on some extra projects. Came out great 👍
I concur
TY
I don't know why but it's just good to see this it just is relaxing to see concrete being made must be a satisfying job
Yes it is
TY
Great Stuff AGAIN!!! I personally liked the wall with the cinderblock look before the stucco.Perhaps the paint will enhance the look of it.
Yes I think so
i wasn't alone then
really? for me its the opposite, naked cinder block gives me 3rd world country vibes
I do my sand finish on the color coat differently, but hey we all have different techniques. Nicely done
I hear that
WOW!!! Reminds me of Disney World/Land as in so perfect yet much more solid. Great job and attention to detail
TY
Awesome job!…the gate added the finishing touch………
I like watching these while eating lunch... strange but true lol
Awesome job as usual. I hope that wall helps the home owner! If nothing else it ads curb appeal.
Sounds like a good way to do it
TY
lol, that's what I'm doing too. Eating lunch AND learning at the same time
Great Job! And great presentation. Learned a lot from this. Thank you very much.

TY
Beautiful 😍 also thanks for describing products used, for dummies like me.
Your welcome
Tough Neighborhood when you have to get a Cocrete Barrier built to keep people from crashing their cars into your house i grew up in the South there they just sit outside and start Shooting at people and it seems to stop or slow the things down that people don’t care for i will say i do like the final Stucco made it look nice i’ve personally Stuccoed exterior Walls using Wire Lath in South Florida and you guys make it look way easier than it really is with your process and Expertise
Not necessarily, there is a lot of stupid drivers.
Awesome work O’Dell 💥
Ty
I saw bollards installed for the same purpose. I do think this is very good looking stucco work.
Me too
TY
Good job guy's. Hope it never gets hit. Also hope that house is well insulated and double glazed as the traffic noise would drive you nuts.
That happens to a lot of corner houses, here in southern California. Especially when you have a street with a speed limit of 40+.......I have seen a lot of corner walls knocked over in my neighborhood. I always wondered if added a bollard post filled with concrete would slow them down. Or add additional rebar in the impact area of the corner.
12' bollards
My office has steel bollards installed all around our city block (we own the whole block). Each steel bollard is 5 foot below ground and 3 foot above ground. We had them installed in 2002 after Sep 11 attacks and back then we paid 17k for each bollard. They have a nice decorative brushed stainless steel cap on the exposed section. So far no one has tried to ram into it, but I am sure it will hold. Also each bollard is installed at 3 feet distance.
Great job!!!! That really looks good. Did you only fill the rebar columns (cavities that had rebar going to the footing) with cement?
Yes we did
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I thought I heard David say they filled all the cells. I guess he meant all the ones with rebar.
Well done extra strong by using more rebar than code requires, you are the MAN!!!!!! Anyone who hires you is getting an expert bar none.
TY
Excelente trabalho profissional! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Parabéns!!!
TY
Руки отбил бы за такую работу
I would love to do the same to my house, but do you guys also put up metal bars on top of the block walls?
Wrought iron
Yes
great work as always. I was just curious if there was any concern with having the pvc sprinkler line in the footing? Thanks! Keep up the great work and vids.
If it needs replacing well then you just put the new line not in the concrete.
Not planned very well. I would have moved the sprinkler line away from the footing to avoid future issues if line needs to be replaced.
bom demais, sou do Brazil, fronteira com Paraguay. Estou aprendendo bastante com vocês.
Beautiful work, you taught him good. 👍🤙🙂
I concur.
TY
Proboha, jaká skvělá práce?
Ta omítka je křivá, to není profesionální práce. Maximálně tak hobby. Sám pro sebe.
Chybí zde hydroizolace proti vlhkosti od zeminy... Zřejmě tam neprší. 👎
God, what a great job?
The plaster is crooked, it's not a professional job. Maximum hobby. For myself.
There is no waterproofing against moisture from the soil ... It probably doesn't rain there. 👎
Really loving your videos. I’m learning a ton! I live in Iowa (cold winters and hot summers). I want to build a (vegetable) raised garden bed using this method - build out of 4x8x16 block and stucco it to look solid. Would I use a similar method of digging a trench and creating a concrete foundation for the block? Or do I need a gravel base?
Yes I believe you need gravel for drainage.
Check with your local building department
If you have cold Winters like we have in PA then you want your footer below frost line of it will heav up all your hard work I do stone masonry and concrete and have seen a lot of failures from not having a proper footer for the climate. I'm always jealous watching videos from y'all out west thinking man they got it easy no digging down 40" to get below frost line lol keep up the amazing work brother it's always a pleasure to watch you and your guys
@@bryancoles8817 I was kind of afraid of that.
111
@@bryancoles8817 40" really? Wow.
Tip: Fill entire front yard with 4 feet high dirt behind the new wall. No worries about cars.
remember my friend house was at the corner of intersection , it took two cars going through the wall for them to put a wall.
Put poles 6ft deep and put a large planter over it
@@user-cy5ol3xl5y Yep, would be way lower cost.
@@FauxFoe yes cemented steel posts
watching home improvement videos on youtube and stumble upon my neighborhood lol what a small world. i live in lakewood aswell.
Right on.
I did also at one time
Job turned out great.
Wow! Fantastic job! How do you get the fallen stucco from the finish coat off the concrete of the front sidewalk?
Clean while wet
A real stucco man wouldve covered everything before running mud. Look closely, they didn't get everything off that sidewalk, and made a mess of the grass too.
A solution of water and clorhidric acid , let it sit and scrape it.
looks great. i would have liked a hard trowelled finish on walls
Nice look
Enjoy all your videos!!!
Que hermoso el trabajo que realizaron en el antejardin de la propiedad con esa muralla de bloques se ve increíble, saludos desde Chile
Gracious
Nice build. Walls work.
Love your work and glad to see that your talents trickled down to your boy. Concrete is a material that always intimidated me but watching your videos have made it a lot easier to start my own projects at home. I have to mention La Raza you have helping you on all or most of your videos... Querian Norte cabrones! Son chingones. Good job boys!
TY
That house is so cute! Great job on the wall 😊
Glad you like it!
Growing up on a corner lot in southern California (Bell Gardens) we had 3 cars come through our front yard over about 25 years. One was actually a police pursuit. This wall won't stop them cold but it will absorb some energy and slow them down considerably.
I concur.
TY
Did you concrete over the irrigation lines?
If they ever leak you can just saw them off and abandon them and reestablish a foot over back in the yard.
Great video. Hate to see that irrigation PVC buried in the footing but I wanted to ask, what was the total cost for this job?
7500
beautiful job.
Great video! Loved the bracing on the gate in the shape of a Z.
You know, laying blocks immediately after the footing is a great thing.
When you put footings and you forget that you could also put the blocks immediately afterwards, insuring stronger block attachment to it is a waste of a really strong bond and also, you could easily build the blocks on it since it is still soft.
I concur
Stop telling our secrets 🤫
@@BruceWayne-ue5dj yea it’s not a secret. We build miles upon miles of these type of walls in Vegas. When you lay the first course in the wet concrete it’s called wet setting. When you lay the first course on a cured footing base it’s called cold coursing. Not sure why you use precision 6816 block when 6815 t&g is much easier to use.
I loved how it came out, just not sure how they are going to replace or fix any irrigation 0:40 with the concrete poured on top of it.. 🤷♂️
They can always cut the line and reroute it
beautiful wall workers 👍
TY
Beautiful house and wall. I always wondered if people on corners or at the end of street where there is an intersection worry. Some huge boulders would work, but the driver and passengers would not fare well. Someone hit one of my block wall columns years back when drunk and the last homeowner cobbled it together. I was considering making a plywood form and pour a new cap with maybe rigid insulation as the core to reduce weight.
Sounds interesting.
GL
This is some getting as stuff
Idk maybe its just me but the block looked better without the stucco and stucco made it looked like it was an old dirty wall lol and it didnt even match the house lol. The blocks exposed looked way better lol
From listening to the video, it seems it was what the customer wanted to do. However, while I agree with you, I think also the extra stucco was to add to it's ability to slow down an incoming car. Maybe this was a cheaper more viable way for the customer to afford the work? It seems aesthetics was a lower priority than the means of the customer, which is obviously necessary.
@@chicassoproductions8527 probably i mean whatever floats their boat but like stucco is so ugly lol xD
@@iplayoldschoolrunescape Agreed, but maybe it was a quick fix and knee jerk reaction to possible impending death due to a stray car through their living room. Someone mentioned putting large boulders at the corner. I think I like that idea as it feels more natural and boulders sometimes look really cool. It's probably really expensive to move a huge boulder like that, but still neat idea.
I like it you dont make a mess and no damage at the grass
Me too
TY
Looks really good!
I would have added some BEEFY cap blocks on all the columns. Make it look more like a castle wall
Kinda messy stucco job on this one, they didn't cover the floor. Would've looked better if the corner metals where used.
Maybe that's what the customer wanted, or was willing to pay for
But they put dirt over the foundation/floor (if that is what you meant?).
Yeah, sidewalk got pretty dirty. But the guys did clean it up. I too, was expecting some kind of cover on the ground.
They are clearly not stucco men. They had no business charging for that mess of a stucco job.
Exelent job, good finished and looks very nice.
TY
Ficou fantástico parabéns
TY
I don't think the music works, go with what you've been doing, your explanations are all thats needed IMO.
Makes sense
Senor odell always good in the hood !
messy job and right flank had almost in line joints but I would be happy for these guys to do this work for me if they covered stuff up . Top job .
Great

I want a wall like this one. Great job!

It looks so nice.
Bravo great job! Love watching this come together

I saw the process! I lived by this house in Lakewood
Right on
This video is an inspiration of working men. It that looks Great at the end. Your videos are very detailed and I enjoy watching.

I have never had luck using a grout bag.
Love the wall. Lost art.
Yes I have.

@@OdellCompleteConcrete
You have... Lost art?
Nice video. Well done. I appreciate the vid.
Good Job !!
When I helped my dad build his wall we filled i wih rocks and cement to ensure that it was a stronger barrier in case a car ever went over the curb. Also I recommend you use thicker rebar and go deeper into the ground for concrete foundation
Good idea
Ty
Real professional job. People like you that i would hire. No electrical, would be nice with som downlights or something.. Thanks 👍🏻
True
Wow ! Beautiful block wall project!!!👍👍👍🙏❤️❤️💚💙❤️👌👌👌😃😃😃😃😆
TY
Looks nice! Thank you for video!

Just did one. Awesome video bro💪🏽
Your videos are greatly detailed, so much so that this DIY guy said "Imma just pay someone to do this!!"
Made me chuckle seeing those pier blocks, here in the UK our blocks are always rectangle in shape. I wanted a wall very similar to yours with two piers either side and the central section recessed. I had to draw it in sketchup and it needed quite a few cuts to make the square columns but the piers were bonded nicely into the wall. Suffice to say it was a pain to do.
Out of curiosity how did you bond your piers into the wall, did you use metal ties?
Rebar in to columns from block wall
Drove by job-looks great!
Awesome
Great work. Thanks for sharing.

TY
Wow, it's a very professional job. Congrats
Thank you very much!
I love this. Awesome job

Great job.. that wall can save a life u never know..
Yes
Hello there from sunny Spain! Thanks for all your super informative vids, they really are great! A quick question. Do you need to tie the wall into the piers at all? I’m about to attempt a new garden wall in 8” block with 16” square pillars either side of where a couple of gates are going to go (all in regular 8x8x16 blocks) and wondered if I should somehow tie the wall into the pillars?
Just recommended ODell for a job here in PA. Customer said he would even possibly pay for hotel stay for you and the crew. Btw, love how this job turned out.
Great,
I'll start packing
i love that project. I want one just like it just a little smaller
Ty
Great job looking to learn from your channel I just need a 20 foot block wall on a corner that’s missing the block that they don’t make anymore so now I have e a large gap -
Thats a bummer.

Beautiful!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
thank you I always learn something when I look at your Vid.
Awesome, superb 👌👌👌👌
