Happy 4th
Happy Fourth
Odell and his crew are second to none. Pride and skill show in this job.
TY
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
I just love these videos. The University of RUclips is the greatest University ever.
I concur
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?”
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
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!

As a latino my self I find your effort to speak Spanish so nice, I’m a long time subscriber an enjoy every project so much, felicitaciones por la calidad de tus proyectos.
He always makes it look so easy. Chinking really finishes off the wall so nicely.
I concur

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

Beautiful wall and keep the videos coming!!!!

Love all your videos including this one. It would be wonderful to see the finished product after the yard is back filled, leveled and completed with grass though.
Will do
Good job wonderful work 👏

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 🤣🤣🇺🇸🏴👍👊
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
Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸

Nice job David! And your spanish pronunciation is getting pretty good ;) Keep learning and improving it!
I'm working on it.
TY
Tricks out of the hat . Didn't expect the actual hat to be one
Thats the trick
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Don't get it
👏👏💯💯
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
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.
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
Where you “keyed” beneath the pad, do you worry about compaction? What laser lever do you use?
I think he uses a dewalt
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!
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
Had to save
great
Do you specify what size rocks to use. I think we all want that “self leveling” concrete!
That would be nice
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
I have to do something similar at my house. Is it more cost effective to do block vs form and concrete?
Yes
Get it on
OSS
I'm doing a 6' x 100' block wall/fence what's the price range I should be at?
Excelente trabajo,yo necesito un par de esos guantes, cuándo me los envía,a Colombia 😂.
Un saludo cordial.
TY Jesus
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
How cold does it get there
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.
David as a younger man it would have been enjoyable to work under your relaxed supervision
That's what I hear
When your good. Your 👍

Is it possible to dry stack blocks and fill it in every other hole?
yes
@@OdellCompleteConcrete so why do people use mortar these days?
How much should a home owner save up to get a job like this done? I have a home in Atlanta.
7500
I'd appreciate if you enabled captioning on this video and future videos.
Good idea
TY
Ждём. Удиви!
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
How much for something like this?
This is where you send the new labor for the "radius line"
Bingo
I must have missed why the top course is thinner block ?
Decorative
Great build but I don't understand the title of this video given their are string lines used for half the video.
Strings don't work on radius
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Yeah, get that. But you don't have string lines being used for the all the foundation aspects, they are up for the first half of the video, so it was a strange title to have.
👍
