back in 1981 I worked for a german Baptist company doing dairy construction , I was about 16 years old. we worked 4 ten hour days setting forms and laying concrete all day . im 59 and ive hired people to do concrete for me , god bless you mr. odell .
Well.. I was planning on replacing my crappy asphalt garage floor with concrete on my own but now that I’ve realized what truly goes into it, I’ll hire that out. Wish you were in Norther Ontario, you look like you really know what you’re doing.
Howdy from Sacramento! I need this exact thing done to my garage and driveway that are circa 1960. I really appreciate your attention to detail and the way you explain what you're doing. Stay safe!
Just wondering what it cost to do that floor, why I'm asking is our garage floor is smaller. Our garage building is setting on cinder blocks on top of the floor
That garage floor was in a lot better condition than mine is. It is much easier to ignore the issue in the summer when the floor is not heaving. I guess I will have to replace it. After you lay the concrete how soon can vehicles be put in the garage?
Odell you are low key hilarious... “ Another indication that it’s the final pass is I gotta use two hands “ LOL WE HAVE ALL BE THERE AS FINISHERS!! love the show !
Hi Odell, What was the reason if any? nobody drill into the Interior garage concrete perimeter Inserts epoxy glue steel re-barb, tie it all together with the re-barb on the floor.
Hi. I noticed you didnt remove the perimeter, obviously because its the foundation for the garage. Could there be any expansion issues over time as the new slab ages along with the existing perimeter? As that new concrete will expand at a different rate then the existing perimeter?
Looking good, I would like to know what I could fix my new sidewalk I poured yesterday, I was getting ready to saw cut , and found a 4 inch circle that came up on top a piece of leave or weed just underneath, now it’s 1/4 inch deep after cleaning it up , can this eyesore be repaired ?? The cement is drying white? Thanks
Hey I have a question if you don’t mind...I’m going to stain and seal some stamped concrete. I didn’t pour it, another contractor did, but they left splattered concrete on the vinyl siding and glass window of the home. The home owners hired me to stain and seal because they didn’t trust the same ppl to do so, after seeing the messy job they did with the concrete. What product or technique can I use to get the splattered concrete off? And they also left colored release residue on the siding that didn’t come off after washing.
Very nice job. Does that Medusaw have a filter for air intake for motor cooling? A couple decade broke in carpenter who loves the worm drive saws needs to know. Anything I get near concrete or drywall dust likes to make weird noises and usually stops working soon after.
Man another beautiful job. Can wait for the engineers to finish our drawings and specs so you can give us a bid. I would be honored to have you and your guys poor and sign my house slab. You're the best in the west
As I show in previous comments the project that I have it's my backyard I'm demoing the old patio and concreting the whole backyard I broke up the backyard in sections My question is what would be the cost of the job I will send you a drawing of the break down

I have a question... my garage floor (1 car) needs to be replaced, however there is a 12' long framed wall that is sitting up against one side of the garage foundation. When i framed that wall i shot the lower plate down into the concrete with 3' nails. Is that going to be a problem? how would you address this?
@@OdellCompleteConcrete so i had my new floor poured last friday, everything went great except for some white troweling marks that were left behind in the final finish. It's been 6 full days and all i see everywhere on the floor are the arches made by the troweling. the floor is smooth and even except for the whiteish color swirl marks left behind. what can cause that? my guy said it's normal and should go away in about 30days.
How do u get so lucky first patio demo I did I hit wire cage double stacked 5-10” of concrete I’ve been running a s70 with a bigger hammer all week back Monday day 6 1250 sqf
Correct me if I am wrong but I would say the only reason that floor cracked was that it was only 2" thick at the door and up to 8" at the back wall - nothing to do with that tree. Not sure why you put plastic on the ground though ??
Hey avid your a ver y educated man in concrete! I've bee a concrete superintendent for the las 20 yrs for a large construction company ! And I've learned a few things from you . I started up as an apprentice carp then after journeyman did my cement masons yrs finally a great job as a superintendent and built up my crew for my company. . You should be proud of the way you and yours does the work. I know I am. I'm even more Anal than you . Great job
Why not close up the mud when you’re screeding? Love the finish but since I’m from Australia we do things a little bit different. Keep up the awesome work 💪
Hey do you remember Steve Bricks 🧱 Aka Steve Price. He was a brick mason and concrete guy in the area, he passed away a number of years ago. Just popped in my head you might have known him. Great job guys!
Is this a neighbor of the other garage you poured a few weeks ago? The water heater is in the same spot (but this one is removed :)), and the same side door and un-drywalled sides. I wish builders saw cut garage floors. I hate the big expansion cracks that make it a PITA to work on vehicles.
The best concrete guys in the bizz!!!
Thank you

How do u get so lucky first patio demo I did I hit wire cage double stacked 5-10” of concrete I’ve been running a s70 with a bigger hammer all week back Monday day 6 1250 sqf
I’m seeing hardly any rebar when u demo in California isn’t there earth quakes? Maybe Canada because it’s so cold always requires
It happens but its rare.
1970's the codes were a lot different
@@OdellCompleteConcrete How do you check the depth of the concrete and can you determinate if this rebar before hand? Would a metal detector work
