These videos are so satisfying. It's like asmr for your eyes, but without the weird stuff...
I don't know what that is but I think its good
Mr. Odell, your talent is boundless, no machine you cannot master
I hope so
TY
Another fine production and yes it does get chilly in the desert.Thanks for taking us along.
You got that right!
TY
Gonna be good. Can’t wait for more.
Welcome to AZ!!!
I like when you water and spread the soil at the same time👍🏻
Works well
TY
I did the same idea for my elderly mom - no steps! Except I used garden wall stack blocks 6ft away from the edge of the MH, and then built a free standing deck between wall and MH on the two sides with doors, like you are. Everyone loves the no-steps access. The only down side of this is if you have an awning along one side for parking, you get minimum head room. Not the end of the world, just gotta watch what you park under the awning. Look forward to seeing the rest of the project.
SOunds good
Yes it will be a fun project
I really like this kind of series. Thanks!
You do such beautiful work, and it's concrete! 😂 You just make it look so easy. Great job! 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
TY
Front discharge trucks are real nice as long as the driver is good. You guys are the best in the west!
Thanks 👍

Come for the concrete and block, stay for the commentary! You're awesome!!

The block with the "Notches" are sash block. Sash block are CMU fabricated with a groove to accept steel window or door frame. Typically used in low-end commercial construction.
That's good to know, I also noticed that they were heavier
@@OdellCompleteConcrete that slot is used for an expansion joint or a control joint, face em against one another and there's a rubber material that fits into that channel also you can mortar it with a bond breaker on one side so stress cant develop across the joint

Appreciate the info 👍
Awesome content as per usual mate. Watching from my hospital bed over in the UK. Can’t wait for the rest of this series!
Why are you in the hospital?
Odell Complete Concrete heart failure, lung collapse and pneumonia 😔
Your videos are helping pass the time so thanks
Notches on the block are for expansion joints, you would face the notches together and drop in a rubber expansion. You bought all jamb blocks which i'm not sure if they're more expensive or not, but they do weigh more than the regular. Also one side is smooth faced for corners.
Yes that block was heavier then the usual for sure.
A local block provider 2 blocks away.
Didn't want to travel to the Depot 15 miles away
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Can't wait for part 2!
Cant wait to see this series grow its gonna be awesome. Good form you dave. Thinking of retirement soon? I started watching this channel when I started my union apprenticeship in SF bay area about 3 years ago. Learned alot from your videos and appreciate them thanks Mr. Odell
No retirement, but maybe a little diversifying in to a training facility
Awesome series start, really looking forward to it. Exciting times, happy for you. 👍
You and me both!
That’s a cool looking cement truck. Never see one like that before. Great job gents 👍🏽👍🏽😎.
Thanks 👍
The driver I had was good
Wow you guys always doing a great job. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Those little slots in the block are meant to be end to end so you can at a water stop in there at your vertical expansion joints on a longer building.
That's a great idea , I love that
The notched blocks are "sash" blocks... for a window or door placement
Thats cool
TY
Mighty fine work! Look forward to your videos...
Much appreciated!
Wow ,you are all over the west ..! Nice job
I roll with the weather.
TY
Look forward to seeing this new series and new venture for you guys 👍👍👍🏴
me too
TY
Watching from home isolation in Canada. Take care out there.
Thanks, you too!
Congrats family business, the only way too succeed. Looking forward for part #2
Appreciate that
Cool. Looking forward to more vids from this property.
Us too!
TY
Irish Landscaper here thank you for inspiring my channel bro.
Get it on

First rotary level a few months ago. So glad I didn’t get that Dewalt rotary level ! Went with the TopCon and it’s been awesome!
I had a proto type, They solved the problem
The notches on the ends of the block are for control joint rubber.
That's interesting
Welcome to the desert! Phoenix (Peoria) here
TY
Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Ty
The notches are for expansion materials when doing a building we have them in California too
Awesome
TY
watching From Brisbane Australia, thanks for the video's, Love your work ...
Watching from home in Sydney. Stay healthy everyone...
Awesome, thank you!
India here
well this series will be good
I think so, A lot to do
Appreciate the series! Thank you! 👍
Central CA doesn’t know what shale is, either. It’s plentiful and very handy up in norther CA areas

Front discharge is A typical here in Indiana, i travel all over midwest northeast southwest for my company and we cus when its a rear chute, it either goes really good or really bad😂 illinois is full of rear chutes
Unions in Illinois don't like front unloaders because it takes a laborers job away, therefore all the rear unloaders in the Chicago area. Take for what it's worth.
I would say a front discharge is worth paying an extra 150.00 a load, and everybody wins
Great job, I liked it a lot 👏🏽 Just left it like 👍🏾.
I appreciate it
Check you out rocking the red and black lumberjack in Arizona.
You got 2 nice machines. The Vermeer and your son. He's a madman.
If you can see the bubble your outa trouble.
Yes they work well.
TY
Look how much faster senior is !
TY
Nice work
Thanks
SWEET ,,PROGRESS
TY
You should also create a playlist including all the videos regarding this property.
Yes I believe that is what we are going to do.
TY
All of our trucks in Kentucky load out in the front.💯👷🏾
nice
Haven’t finished watching the video yet but I must comment on the front discharging mixer. I am a concrete guy in Phoenix for the last 20+ years and have never seen one of those in the state!! I honestly thought it was an east coast thing. Lol. I have also heard of them being called a “right/rite way mixer.” Anyway back to the video.
It makes a lot of sense if your tail gating
1st 👍
Sweet video 👍
Right on, back in the saddle
Haven't seen you in a while boss happy to see you again
Its getting rough out there
Yes it is boss sad to say
Subscribed! That would be a great place for an amateur astronomical observatory.
Yes it is very clear at night
You are a BEAST man !🤙🏽☝🏽
TY
We try
Nice work as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
I've been working on plans for a manufactured home, 24x44, the town I live in in Western Canada manufactured homes have to either sit on a perimeter foundation or slab that is 8 inches thick. With concrete running 300 a metre (1.3 yard) a mobile slab placed and finished is 15,000 dollars its a monolithic slab as it has to be 12 inches around the perimeter. In my situation I'm going with pier and beam I will have to crane the sections onto a foundation. Building with concrete is expensive, 1800 to 3000 dollars for each mixer truck load trucks range from 7 to 13 yards, concrete pump is minimum 1000 dollars per visit to your site. I'm interested in trying to build cinder block retaining walls a standard 16 inch block is 4 dollars each, retaining wall blocks are nearly 10 dollars each.
Wow that's intense
building a trailer park. I look forward to the series
this is going to be a inexpensive oasis
Very enjoyable video.
Many thanks!
Arizona doesn't look as nice but I hear it's very affordable. I hope to move there or utah one day.

How many courses can you wet set without worrying about the weight of the blocks causing it to get out of level? 🤔 or is it by the time youve set 1st course the concrete set up enough doesnt matter
depends how fast you set them.
about 4 to 5 for me
Cool idea to do a zero entry, don't see that on manufactured homes very much
Yes I thought might be a nice touch
Great video...be blessed
Thank you! You too!
Personal dessert home?? It is great that you can do a lot of the work yourself!👍👍
Yes, if not it wouldn't happen
Looks interesting☺ I wish you and your Team good health 🍻
You Too
GL
and Ty
This is a good project
Yes it should be interesting
Good stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very different presentation. Did enjoy over a Scottish breakfast.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello from Toronto Canada.....love your videos. If I lived where you are I would love to work with your company. You guys are great
Awesome! Thank you!
When the house is built, come on down
Odell Complete Concrete is that your property in Arizona?
Have you thought of using a drone to get a topdown view of the job. I found it difficult to draw a picture of the 90-degree block you were creating. Nevertheless, great job.
Yes we are using one now in our last 4 videos
The city/county didn't require you to perform over-excavation below the pad grade and certify the pad?
A simple compaction test will do
Very interesting video!! I have 2 questions : 1- Did you use mortar (cement and sable) or concrete between blocs? 2- Why you don't put any mortar or concrete between first row blocks? (You only start to use it on second row). Thanks
Bottom block is weep holes.
Mortar everything else
@@OdellCompleteConcrete what do you mean by weep hole?
Interesting series, I'm looking forward to more. Do they even have the front loading trucks in California?
I haven't seen any
Nice video, in other videos you mentioned to always compact the dirt when digging. Just wondering why the compaction was not necessary. Even if it is native soil wouldn't you want to campact it.
This ground is solid rock, a little water is all you need
Curious about water availability with that well. I live in a rural area where water is an issue. Above ground storage tanks are extremely helpful so maybe build in slabs or other plan for such?
This well is capable of 30 gallons a minute.
I have a 50 gallon pressure tank
This is your property? Very cool
Yes
ty
David can you do a video on how to pour a slab for polished concrete
Sure
Hi! one question about the wall.. in another video you poured the footer with the rebar curved at a 90 and sticking up already then installed the bottom course. In this video you poured the footer set the course then put the vertical rebar in. Is there a difference and when should you do one vs the other?
Hooks are better when your not wet setting the block.
💪😎👍
Was that hat really necessary😂😂😂
OH yah,
Wind chill 30 degrees
Those SoCal boys are such wussys! :)
I was thinking this was in Vegas or Az looking boss
Bingo
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Look like Uncle Eddie from Christmas vacation in this video, now you are talking like him.
David. Is that the lifan generator and wattage size. How do you like it and how well does is run the skillsaw
Works great, I've had it for a couple years. 2200 watt
will it help to have deeper footing? Would the wall collapse if more than 3500 lbs pushed against the wall?
No, I have since epoxied a slab off the top.
Where's part 2?
That's a lot of earthwork for a stand machine, my poor legs and back would be done lol.
But you make do with what you have.
I owned a small mini excavator that I used to take on jobs that were actually to big for the machine, now I have a bigger machine I am wishing I still has the small one also 😂🙄🤷♂️
I think the small are more versatile
@@OdellCompleteConcrete
I have a 2003 Case 1825B, 4'0 wide machine. Older, slower, smaller, but I can get more work done than some guys with the bigger, faster machines. 👍
Is that going to be your fishing home? Pretty close to the ol London Bridge. It gets mighty hot there too.
I'm thinking a vacation give away for my followers.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete probably oughtta keep it and get out of California while you can.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete stop playin.?
Do you offer email consultation? Had a small exterior slab poured(12'x40') and it looks like they broomed it when it was still super wet. Finish is extremely rough..bad news. Any tips or ideas to smooth it a bit? Don't mind paying for your knowledge. Wish you were local!
Floor buffer with diamond pads to sand it down
You say this is Part 1, but there are no links posted for the other Parts.
Go to my Playlist and select property developement
What the heck do you do if the length of your wall at a corner ends up being an odd block size? like 2/3, or 1/3 of a block, but at a corner? I cant find a video that addresses that. How would you link the corners together going upward???
cut the block
Please get your sound levels uniform. One moment I can barely hear you so I have to turn the volume way up. Then the sound goes way up blasting my ears and I have to turn it back down. It was that way all through the video, up and down. Other than tha,t good video.
That bothered me to
Chicken legs? We call them dog bones.
interesting
It's also ½ compared to Ca
Actually 1/10th
@@OdellCompleteConcrete even better lol would you be interested in trading out work? I need a concrete walkway on the side of the house and I can build you a custom gate or railing or whatever you want me to build for you?
Dave, you made the base of the wall a foot deep since the wall is only 2 feet high... is there a formula for the wall for higher walls.... I need a 6 foot retainer
Not really, I base everything I do from working from engineered drawings I have worked with before.
Your county building department should have retaining wall standard plans you can follow.
is this area business or residential? Arizona is wacky like that Havasu seems to have no or bad city planners.
Retail and manufacturing in prime residential areas with views of the lake.
This is Agricultural
Relocating? Or just a get away?
The notch are for windows
Peek holes
Why most of houses in the us dont have fence in front of it ? Its cultural ?? Or there'is another reason
The houses are to far forward for a fence, because it would block the view when backing a car out
Will this be Odell HQ or a build to let / sell?
Could be the training location.
30 day classes.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Opportunity to have a basement missed
Chicken legs! We call em dogs in mn
Cool
Lets be honest odell, you miss california...
Yes
You need any workers with tools we could head ur way chief!
Where you located?
Los angeles boss getting there is no issue let me know odell thanks
I hope you got that land for free, because it looks like its located in an industrial park.
Close to it
What is the digger called? What is it?
Mini skidsteer
@@OdellCompleteConcrete thank you :)
Do you need a wood pole? Or did you find 1?
Ace hardware is the big boy out here, full drive in lumber yard.
They had the pole
@@OdellCompleteConcrete okay perfect just making sure I have 40 of them just sitting on the side of the shop
I’m assuming this is going to be the home u retire at.
unsure, I may use it as my 30 day training and seminar location
Love the channel.. There's a knock off channel in the OC area trying to copy your video style.. sad!
I heard
Where at in AZ?
Bullhead
Odell Complete Concrete ....how did you get that gig Dave?
So did u guys move to Arizona then? Surprised u wearing a coat in that heat.
it was 30 degrees with the wind chill
Was this all done in one day?
two days including the dig out and leveling
