my brothers and I, 25, 27 and 34 poured 26.5 yards in NOVEMBER, after Thanksgiving. Our first project ever on our own. Unfortunately, its easy to want to be in business but hard to have constant work. Our goal is to obtain at least 3-4 jobs per month and I would be happy! I love the work, the hustle and additional knowledge!
Looks Great! I would recommend using a chair or rebar support to keep the rebar in the upper third of the slab as the workers stepping on it pushes it back to the bottom.
It's funny you say that, it's often cheaper to just buy a new carb off of amazon or ebay rather then pay someone to rebuilt the current one. Because I found that to be very true. $35 bucks for a new carb and $75 or $80 to have a repair shop fix the current one.
Love your videos David. A tip for you on your equipment . Run 2 Oz. of Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas and diesel for every 5 gallons of fuel. You will never have gummed carburetors or fuel injectors. Note do not use it in any diesel equipment that has SCR exhaust (DEF). For modern equipment that has SCR exhaust after treatment I recommend Power Service Diesel Kleen.
Try seafoam in the gas tank, it's a product you can get off of Amazon and other places. It should clean the carb and it help stabilize fuel also. Worth a try before you have to get a new carb for the float.
Have you ever put Elmer's glue in your concrete my grandfather lived in Cypress he lived in Long Beach and he was a concrete guy he did driveways and block walls he put Elmer's glue and his mix I don't exactly know how much because I was only like 7 8 years old when I was working with him he didn't really teach me how to do it to mix the concrete and all that had a flatbed truck had his own Sand and gravel and then this man you know he pulled a cement mixer behind his truck myself I grew up in lake Elsinore from 1965 it's a 1987 is when I lived there but anyhow thank you for your videos I do enjoy watching them
I’m a concrete finisher from Louisiana, our way of doing some things compared to some of yours and other folks’ work from other places make me feel like we are still cavemen in comparison. Lol It’s really cool to learn little tricks here and there from all you guys. Would like to know where to get that edger trowel thing. That’s pretty nice
That is an awesome broom for them longer pads there Dave. I've never done anything longer than 28 feet. But I think it would be a good investment to get one
I walk by commercial jobs and study the cut marks and analyze what they could have done better because the sidewalks crack, but not on the cut lines. Some guys don't put enough thought into where to place their cut lines. Settling and drainage play a big part in controlling cracks down the road.
This is just so fascinating to watch & it turned out beautiful as usual. I really enjoy your explanations of what’s happening and why. Very glad I found your channel. I have a question: after power washing my driveways here in central Texas (high plains/hill country) my concrete is very rough and difficult to sweep so I’m wondering if there is a coating I might be able to put on it to help?
I worry about when you do those cuts and there are small triangles along the edge breaking off if some weight gets put on them sometime in the future. No issues with that?
Whats the beauty of the hat ??? Youve learned a new word on youtube ?? A way to express you admeration for something lol lol thats the beauty of the english art of communication
I really like that brush you used, the amount of times I’ve struggled using 5 poles on a Fresno brush set up in a confined space, this may be the next investment 👍, good job you and your boys did here. Also do you know if this slab suffered with cracks off the steel uprights to the saw cuts ??
Doing a 32'x16' foot area in our backyard and we are going to use Quickrete that we pour into forms that we bought. Should gravel and sand be put down on top of the dirt prior to pouring into the forms?
Palm trees swimming pools and sun your lucky but do you have to use retarders in the concrete stop it setting to quick must be a nightmare with so much sun .opposite to us in wales it rains all the time .loved the series and very nice work love the tools out there in the US aswell. Good luck 👍 🏴💯
Thanks for taking time to do these videos, more please. Thanks.
More to come!
Nice work

It's going to be a beauty
It's beautiful the way you lay out the control joints.

That pool and pad will look like an oasis when the landscaping is done. A million dollar backyard for sure.
Yes
There is some serious potential

Great stuff!! Good job guys. 🤙🏽
Nice job !!!

This is the one the finisher was singing to concrete lol!
Yes
@@OdellCompleteConcrete working hard and having fun!! Job looked great!! Shout out from poth tx!!
Damn Good 👍

Looks Great! I would recommend using a chair or rebar support to keep the rebar in the upper third of the slab as the workers stepping on it pushes it back to the bottom.
The trick is not to step on them
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Chairs are pretty cheap.....
Seriously good work!

Massive job 👍

Glad you got it figured out! Dang UA-cam. Did you find out what happened?

Amazing! 👍

If you don't like it,hit it again. No problemo.. awesome line

So the saw cuts are for crack control or decoration or both. Hugh job great content. Thanks
They sure as both
I like rodding 💯😎
We saw cut mabey after 4 hours or less
I like the broom.
Beautiful concrete work.
It's a good idea to cut it sooner rather than later specially in the summer
You are Good
TY
lol the drone at the end
Boom

It looks and smells like Elmer's, but it's not.
It's concrete glue.
I use it in a lot masonry stuff
First like and comment wohoo

These are so satisfying to watch, i feel like a weirdo 😆 great job as usual
Maybe Alien
TY
hi odell amazing job impressive finish wow greetings from the netherlands
Thank you! Cheers!
That owner sure hates grass :)
It's common
you should come down to south Florida and show them how to actually pour and do concrete correctly. You would do more than well.
Sounds like fun
I wonder why you don't use a power screed? Looks like hard work doing it manually with two people...
This just fits the area better

Try some lacquer base wet look sealer.
They totalled it!🤣

Can you use that saw as a same day like soft cut ? .
Yes, with the right blade
Have a 35 yard wanna do the same thing, how much for this project?
15000
Great looking job. I sure wish you guys also worked the San Francisco Bay Area...I have concrete work I want done on my property. :)
Me too

I worry about when you do those cuts and there are small triangles along the edge breaking off if some weight gets put on them sometime in the future. No issues with that?
if he ran the sort of horizontal line pass the other line, it probably would, but he didn't.
Not with fibermesh and pinkbar
Hey David how much does the part 2 and part 3 pour cost? Much appreciated, just trying to get an idea!
15,000
Hi,
Very grateful for you. How much the per square foot for the total?
Thank you
Where can I buy a broom like that

Also do you know if this slab suffered with cracks off the steel uprights to the saw cuts ??
I heard about a month after the job was completed that there were no cracks yet
Doing a 32'x16' foot area in our backyard and we are going to use Quickrete that we pour into forms that we bought. Should gravel and sand be put down on top of the dirt prior to pouring into the forms?
Depends where your at and soil conditions?
@@OdellCompleteConcrete, California, and the soil is hard
Great, as long as it's not freezing there you should be fine
@@OdellCompleteConcrete, we get down to 29° every now and then..
16:21 R.I.P drone 🤣
Yes
6:54 next time probably someone would smack a broom on a drone and let it do the work.
I'd love that
Awesome work!! Do you guys do work in San Diego?
I wish
I would like to know how these drains performed this year, 2023, with the unusual weather
I'm sure well if kept clean
Do you always use the same concrete finishers?
no
👍
great job by my eye cannot come off the two areas around the back two poles NOT groomed properly
OSS
what city or county do you guys mainly work?
Nice work, you ever have issues finding/keeping concrete workers?
Not really
Palm trees swimming pools and sun your lucky but do you have to use retarders in the concrete stop it setting to quick must be a nightmare with so much sun .opposite to us in wales it rains all the time .loved the series and very nice work love the tools out there in the US aswell.
Good luck 👍 🏴💯
Haven't had to use retardants, but have had to get more guys and work faster.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete
That makes sense 🤣 ill be watching more of your videos. Good luck from over the pond 👍🧱💯🏴
I may have missed it but what’s the mix design on this job? Concrete looked nice
