Thanks for taking the risk of putting your work out there to be judged! You are inspiring to the novice builder. I love this kind of professional video. So thorough!

I'm 1 minute into the video. The footing lines do look exceptionally wide
Its videos like this that make UA-cam great, not falling cat videos, but really learning from a pro on a given subject. Thank you Odell Complete Concrete for making such detailed quality videos for curious people.

Ryan Peveto You re absolutely right
Can't it be both?
I don't know how someone can dislike such a professionalism and dedication to perfection in this video ?
I concur
Cuz they’re not happy with their life and need to see counselor
@@phuongvo3051haha this guy is going places 😮
This guy knows what he is doing. After watching this video I have a better idea of the questions I need to ask potential contractors when I am ready to start my garage build.
Great
TY
Thank you so much for letting us watch and see them do the actual work while your explaining because watching it helps much more than just listening to directions
I agree there's nothing better than the guy doing and describing it.
Man, if I could watch these videos all day I would. Very therapeutic and informative.
Awesome! TY
Thanks for this video. It's a pleasure to watch and learn from a competent professional. Have a nice day.

What a amazing drawings!!
They remind me when I started studying architecture about 30 years ago.
Well done, mates.
Yes these drawings are hard to find anymore
I'm learning alot from you Mr.Odell thanks for these videos and please keep them coming.

Awesome

This has got to be one of the best videos on youtube...

Great video. I am planning to build a building for semi trucks 30 by 40. This video has given me a great deal of info on the steeps needed. I never knew it was this much labor involved.
Yes and that's just the foundation
Your cadence and calm demeanor is very educational. Thanks

When I was a kid I saw my dad and a couple helpers make a perimeter wood frame and cut angle stakes to hold a 4 inch slab about 25 x 25 feet. It was for an additional room for the house. Took the guys a couple of days and a stack of 2 x 4's. Then used a mixer and poured into wheel barrows. This deal looks like the foundation for a three story building! GAWD!
I concur
@@OdellCompleteConcrete It is a superb job, notwithstanding!!!
Gosh I don't miss doing these type of concrete jobs. So many details and so much rebar. Drove me crazy.
For sure
One of the best most informative videos I’ve ever see.. the producer has a gift for doing this kind of learning video .. Thankyou and amazing job! Keep on keepin on!
I will
TY
Great video. It's really important to have a professional showing you how it is done. Because I don't think everyone realises how much work it is to build a proper foundation.

Thanks for the video. Getting ready to do a 32'x32' garage and I don't like doing anything without educating myself first and concrete is the only element of construction that I am not proficient at. Very informative. Thank you.
Sounds good

Great video. Switching from commercial to residential and you are great at explaining WHY things are being done when people usually just say they are doing something. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Your videos are so informative! Thank you for sharing. You should be proud of your crew they knock out the most professional looking jobs!

I am not in the construction industry nor am I a carpenter, I wanted a good guide to help with small projects such as small sheds and some remodeling around the house. So there’s a magic which is Shed Plan [ visit here *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. This Shed Plan co.vers all my instructions from top to bottom in a step by step manner.
Best example video I've seen of set up forming and pouring. Excellent !
TY
good work man no cut corners , done well, give those guys a lil raise

Wait a min lawl
Definitely an interesting and different way of putting in a foundation. In my area a monolithic pour wouldn't be allowed because you need a separate inspection for the footings, stem wall and slab. J-bolts always get added after the pour while the concrete is still wet too. My neck of the woods they are very inspection heavy, you would have 5 inspections before you could even start framing the walls. Keep up the good work.

Sounds like a Mickey mouse operation.

Thanks for doing this video I'm not in the trade as I'm in the Interior systems mechanic trade but couldn't stop watching your videos lol super cool and fascinating to watch someone with as much knowledge as you have
Thanks for watching!
Really appreciate an indepth video on this! To someone who wants to learn how to build houses, this is super informative!!
Glad it was helpful!
Man I’ve been watching your uploads for a while now very satisfying to see craftsmanship

i love how easy the plans are in *WoodBlueprints. Com* to understand and t.he step-by-step videos they have. Makes getting material really easy
A very very big thank you for accepting our comments in this issue because in my mind or deep heart I'm planning to build my own house as well, in order to avoid some distrust builders in Nigeria, then I've to be extremely careful with some peoples like the manner describe here in U:K as a Cowboy builders, and that's why I've to Learn a lesson from you now!

The best video for foundation. would be glad to see another same kind for a full foundation. nice work!
Me too

I really appreciate the details of your videos. I'm sure the owner will love that garage!
I hope so too!
This is hilarious, I’m currently helping my dad build a garage and I end up coming on the exact 1 year anniversary of this video being published.
Perfecto
you know what's crazy, I was just watching videos over roofing, and now that I just saw this comment, its the night before May 5th, 2021. This video is truly a time capsule.
Great video should be used in the apprenticeship programs as a video exam, steps to set forms and ready for a pour.
This is the real deal! Wish I had a project for them. I love to support real professionals!
me too
I really like this channel. Solid information, clearly explained without an excess of fluff.
I appreciate that!
Nice video! Have you considered using CFC concrete forming? It is much easier to arrange those rebars inside the CFCs.
100% of my knowledge comes from your videos. As always, great job!
Awesome!
I really enjoy watching your content, feels like I’m in school again and I got lucky to get the super knowledgeable teacher 🤓
Happy to hear that!
Back in 2007, I built a large (24' x 16') two level barn on my property. I did everything by myself including drawing the blueprints, digging the foubdation, and all the structural and roofing work. The only thing I contracted out was pouring of the concrete footing & slab. I'm a lot older and a little smarter now and I'm considering building a 20' x 30' room addition on a slab. Thanks for your video, it was very detail oriented and I learned a lot.

excellent workmanship and great explanations as you were going along. thanks much

I'm looking to learn more on foundations and drywalling the hold thing on how to build houses so work could be more easy to find... Thank for the posts here on UA-cam
But I'm looking for work also..

Good idea
In 4.5 billion years, when the sun becomes a red giant and expands it will destroy the earth, shattering it to pieces.....nothing will be left.....except for that slab!
That's the goal
thats a funny comment lmao
And a cockroach sipping a beer
And Ancient Alien theorists will try to figure out how it was done.

Very awesome work you do. It's shows the quality and the processes that you take to ensure a proper foundation. Wish you were in my area, would have hired your company just based on this video. I made the mistake of hiring a company that didn't care for quality and how I wanted things done like I requested all expansion joints to be saw cut, rebar in sidewalks etc...and they just did what they wanted, fast and cheaper. Why not use a Paslode gas nailer instead of hand nailing every nail? Hand nailing with a hammer tends to move the board with every swing. Thanks
Never considered a nail gun.
Can you put duplex nails in it so they are easy to pull out.
oh i see, duplex nails would not work in any gun. Thanks for the reply.
Nail gun nails are also coated with a friction heat activated adhesive which makes taking aprt form a pain!
Not all concrete cracks or I must have the only 25'x25' garage floor in the world without cracks or control joints. Just a smoothed top. I don't know what the builder did for this slab but no cracks in over 18 years in the Pacific Northwest climate.
Would this be a coordination for a 24x26 2 story garage with an apartment on top?
what a wonderful instructive video! Thank you!! Now I know what I want in bigger garage to fix cars with my grand kids.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the upload. Love learning about this stuff.

Big waste of money and concrete from what I see of overdone excavation n concrete...overkill many times over. I see houses in soft silt soil New Orleans area 50+ yrs old level and solid still with just a 12 inch wide chain wall (the main perimeter 'footing' ) 12 to 16 inches below grade, 6 inches above grade, 4 pcs of rebar on chairs (highway mesh cut to penetrate soil at bottom of trench to hold rebar steady during pour). Concrete company's owner and P.E. (certified professional engineer) told me more is just a waste - and this from a guy whose profit goes up the more concrete you buy!) but he says the bigger, wider and deeper footings today may impress but are unnecessary. Even in climates with below zero temps, the same narrower footings on monolithic slabs, encased in 2" thick hi density poly foam board is all you need per most county bldg codes (see " shallow frost-protected slab" in your online search).
Like I've always told people, I'd rather overbuild it than underbuild it. That said great job!
Thank you! and i agree
MadRhetorik
good point
I guess when you think about it, the concrete and rebar is not really that expensive to economise on.

Hi Mr Odell: your professional videos are some of the best I have viewed. Very educational, and a true service to the trade. You rate a 9.75 on a 10 scale. Deduct a small amount for NO HARDHATS, or SAFETY VESTS....especially since the excavator boom was swinging directly over the worker heads.
Wow, thanks
Mr Odell: have you ever thought about writing a text book?
Also: I noticed there were an extraordinary amount of favorable comments about your educational parameters referring to “how much they learned.”
That alone leads me to realize there is a dearth of reliable, available, structured course work. You could have an ebook, released to customers which express an interest in what is purchased. After a few revisions of the ebook, wherein changes, supplemental, indexed new data is incorporated: a published real book is possible.
I could assist, if so desired.
Think about it. Re-read the comments. Look for an indication of how much appreciation was expressed. They nearly all said you were instrumental in them grasping knowledge.
That alone is a clue. If you build it, they will come.
Nice vid man, planning to build my house on a budget, I kinda wanna do 90% of the stuff.
Good luck ! 😊
Try not to do your electric by yourself. 😅
@@7meekah definitely, im never touching electricity lol

Yes college is a waste of time, but in the USA they force kids to get a degree and than go out and learn the hands on..I think it has to do with lobbyist.
world wide money making machine studying ,especially the way the information gets taught it,s bull.parrrot fashion
You guys that work with your hands to build things are true heroes. It’s sad that people don’t think twice about who builds things.

This is the most important part of garage builds and any foundation construction. Framing errors can be fixed. But grading, foundation and slab can't after the cement is poured and so must be done right. If the concrete is wrong, the garage is a writeoff. Many homeowners bawk at the cost, not knowing the true extent of labour, materials, planning and execution involved, and hire some bum from down the street with a beat up truck and wheelbarrow, thinking they'll save a few bucks. Nope. They'll be screwed and won't find out till soon after.
Half decent 2-car garages where I am go for about $25,000. Customers that can't afford the cost are better off parking on the lawn al fresco. If they hire a 2nd rate foundation contractor or worse, every cent they pay will be money down the drain.
Jason Bell
You definitely got that right.
yeah but i could afford to do it 3 times over instead of paying 25000 moron
$25K only for the foundation and slab or for the entire garage?
Ur a beast bro! You speed up the video when you're hanging forms, making it easy to see you outwork your help by 1000% HAHA!!!

that aint shit for rebar to be honest i could have placed all the rebar in about 4 hours alone
You poured over 5 times as much cement in the foundation alone as I did in my 24x40 foot frame barn, it has been standing over 30 years and still as good as the day I poured. The only thing I did not do by myself was the actual pour. I was about 35 at the time. Still vividly remember digging that foundation with a shovel in August avg temp was in the high 90/100s, started at 5am and quit about 1pm.

it's pretty amazing, the changes that have happened in the last 30 years

Wedgenut Tanker it not cracking can also have to do with how cold it gets in the winter.
A building is only as good as the foundation it is sitting on. In my opinion, you can't over do a foundation.
I tip my hat to you sir.
I'm excited to see that pour, and how you are going to get the inner stakes back. I cant quite imagine how its done

Hi do you guys have a license to do that or were able to build it without it?
Yes licensed
