Respect to you for looking after your boys and ensuring they have work with the hand mix ✊
I’m sure the homeowner appreciates the extra costs
@@eyehear10 you clearly don’t understand. There is no extra cost.
That’s an impressive wall that’s for sure, I’m enjoying the series. Thanks
Glad your enjoying!
Great job. Wall looks great. For the Henry's waterproofing. You should be able to roll it on with a low nap roller. Also looks like majority of the grout lines didn't receive the waterproofing. Isn't that the most permeable part of a CMU wall?
In-between the blocks, yes.
I like to put it on thick with a red rubber float.
This stuff looks like tar
My dad said they always used to dilute it down with diesel fuel and roll it on
💯 Percent respect for giving your guys work instead of using the concrete pump. And Respect to your crew for continuing to show up to work that's hard to find these days. 💪👍 God Bless
That came together nice! Super beefy and strong. Great job on the inspections too. That’s not always an easy process by any means. Fantastic all around (*per usual for Team Odell).
Thank you!
that henrys stuff if you get one of them magnetic burners it heats the can via magnetic energy you can warm it up as it spreads much easier warmed up
Chicken feet ! we call them line dogs here. I can understand the architect drawing up the wall like he did as there is not much of a buffer zone for expansion between the pool.
I remember an elderly builder telling me a mistake some folks make in building retaining walls is, not putting in horizontal rebar. Glad to see y’all doing it for that type of wall. Good work properly done should last.
I love it when the rebar grid and everything is lined up so perfect like that freaking beautiful! Sad all that nice work is going to be covered up with concrete dirt and block, but at least the homeowner's know they have a damn good foundation there. That thing's not caving in or giving way for anything!
Nice that you’re thinking of your crew.👏👏👏
I concur
Wow!…you are just like your father…..hard worker……working to perfection!… can’t wait for part three.

You can also use a masonry brush to apply the waterproofing.
the waterproofing is to be applied with rollers, covering 100% of the surface (not omitting the block grout lines.
If weep holes are required, the holes are sealed from the back side was well. This stops/mitigates the cmu absorbing water and then purging it out the "clean face". The way you have done it, will result in leaching.. and if painted, "water blisters" tend to form behind the paint. And the only way to fix, would to be to excavate, reapply proper waterproofing and re-back-fill, remove the paint from the external surface to allow for the cmu to dry out over time before repainting.
Structurally, the wall looks fine and the Eng that did the calculation did not likely see the need for a wider footing heel but my calculations usually point me in the direction of a Cantilevered retaining wall type foundation for these types of applications
Great
TY
Keep doing jobs like this and soon you guys will be built like The ROCK. Great teamwork guys, I hope your customers know how fortunate they are 🙂The Odells are good leaders and I would have worked for you anytime in my younger years.
Appreciate that and would have been a good time!
Looks great you guys do amazing work my dad was a mason for over 30 years in California
STUD
That is one giant footer!
Lot of planning and procedure, but great result 👍.
Good to see waterproofing was called up, and being done, thats a strong block built wall, good idea of keeping labour busy.
Thanks for sharing.
TY
Careful with trip hazards around vertical rebar, like a form board partially removed stuck up in the air for hours
Hey guys excellent video thanks. Just a tip when using that bitumen waterproofing you should thinned it with diluent it’s a petroleum product recommended for that. 👍👍
I used a roofing brush after thinning the sealer. Tool for string we always called line stretcher.
Nice work. Nothing like great employees.
I concur
That was definitely a lot of rebar and footer support for that concrete block retaining wall. Excellent job with it though.
Check out the mudmixer tool, it would have been perfect for filling the block (from the high side). You would still need your crew, but it would be an easier day.
Odell complete concrete never fails to entertain and provide practical knowledge. Been a subscriber since you people started and I'm really glad I found this channel somehow back then.
Keep growing guys, love from bangalore, India❤❤❤
Thank you and thanks for your long time subscription! We hope to keep entertaining!
Wet setting the block would make it withstand a mile wide F5 tornado. Now it can only laugh at a mile wide F4.🤣. In all seriousness. Great job dudes!
It looks like they are in the bay area in California. No tornaders
@@e4d578 sarcasm bud c'mon!
Lol true 🤣
@e4 d5 These dudes work pretty much exclusively in Southern California.
Perfect timing! Just made my food and sat down at the table to watch a video. I played yours first! Lol.
I only saw horizontal rebar at the top, did you guys do that every corse? Great work it’s coming together nicely
Very cool, to keep your team busy and on the clock!
Ty
Omg every time he bend over to slide the block down, I kept getting chills because of how close the rebar was to poking your eye out. Definitely should’ve put caps on those since there’s also a high ground not too far from them.
I use a brush for the henrys a roller also works
Does not leaving wood in concrete make it a weak point?
Awesome that you take care of the boys with work man! Kudos!
That's an impressive fortress wall, love it.
H block are life savers in these situations. No need to lift over the rods. Those line stretchers are called line dogs here. Look into the jag clamps. They work even better.
Yeah I assumed people have different name for them in other areas. Interesting name
I just call it line stretchers or rooster 🐓 legs lol
Greetings from Southern California
The Masonry Company
Line dogs, dog bones, or stretchers are what I hear most of the time in the north east.
I left a comment on the last video but it got deleted. I was trying to offer some friendly advice about easements because I write them for our utility company. I also deal with the legal department on situations like you have here. I can with probably guess what happened here. You hit the line, call AT&T, they come out to look at the damage, they call land and right of way to check for an easement, they check, see there is an easement and their property (trunk cable) was covered, they call legal, legal says yes charge them. You get a bill. With that said good luck and hopefully you covered yourself.
Guess what, if you watched the video it's self explanatory
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I watched the video just like I have for the past 4 years or so. I enjoy them and they’re helpful being that I’m not in the concrete business. I’ve already said where my knowledge was. I can tell by your snide comment and the removal of my last comment you don’t appreciate the advice I gave. Or you’re upset because of the mistake you made and realize how much worse it could be in the future. I explained the process so you knew when our property get hit, legal gets involved. It’s a process most people (including field employees) don’t know. I offered very sound advice to help you and others. Like when people are asking, why is AT&T on private property? And you answer “no idea”. That’s literally what an easement is used for. To get permission to be on private property. We don’t need permission to be on public. Or when you reply ” it should’ve been overhead”, again that shows you have no idea how this works. I wasn’t trash talking or being negative. If someone was giving bad advice on building a block wall or pouring concrete, wouldn’t you try to help them out? Aren’t your videos on here to help people? You’re giving some bad advice on easements (a legal document) and I was just trying to help. Good luck 👍 I know there are tons of contractors that watch these videos. My advice to all of you is, if you run into a problem like this, at minimum ask the property owner to request a copy of the easement.
Above and beyond, you rarely see retaining walls that robust
walls like this are standard in New Zealand! lots of hills and valleys!
great work as always! can't wait for part 3!
Me too
TY
You guys make this look easy.
Hi there Tim Odell, Ashley Abrahams from a small town called Paarl in Cape Town South Africa. I started watching Odell Complete Concrete for more than 2 years now and like all the videos, yours and your brother’s. Your last video however that massive backyard project, I noticed when you finished the block wall, the two steel plates for the deck you put in had no safety caps on and can easily cut someone when not noticing. I am very causes over safety wherever I work and particularly in construction and just hoping that you take in consideration on your future projects. Keep well and GOD BLESS.
great idea
TY
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Thanx for replying, I only meant well cause your safety as the contractor are just as important.
You guys are really the best in the west :)
TY
Great Teamwork 👍👍That is a very solid wall Guys 👍👍
TY
Very nice!
Ty
Looking good brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ty
Keep ‘em coming
Sweet job, I always wondered how these are built I’m a general/roofing contractor in San Diego, nest time try tremco below grade waterproofing it is roll on, still gross though, I have a lot of experience with Henry’s mastic, the glove is the best way also leave it in the sun to make it easier to work with.
Very cool!
Man thats overkill for a wall wow
👍🏻on keeping the boys on for the extra day.
Yeah it helps the boys out 👌😎
5:33 Oh yeahhhh, work those anterior delts!!
I might have tried using a separate trowel (one not used to lay the masonry) to apply the water proofing. But I've never done it, myself, so take that for what it's worth.
Good points
Great work. But where is the horizontal rebar. U never showed that. And no, it’s not overkill at all. You should have poured a solid wall. Boom
Water proofing can be applied with a roller. and very rich at least 2 coats or 3.
Yeah should have tried the rollers out
Hell ,I'm feeling it just watching y'all
Great
Love watching your channel even though I’m a woman. Great work you’d done👍
TY
That looked like a tough job! Looking forward to next episode!❤❤❤
I normally leave the concrete to set for at least three days before building on it.
From what i can remember my dad always added isopropyl alcohol to his water proofing and then roller brushed it on. That was over 30 years ago so I don't know what they are using now days for water proofing, or if it's the same stuff as back then.
How come no horizontal rebar in the bond beam block?
Have you tried rolling the waterproofing with a paint roller
No
It needs to be heated first
Haha also welcome to az boys. That concrete goes fast in that summer heat.
We are actually still in CA but my dad is in AZ now
Do u thin the Waterproofing stuff... With water or solvent..... Whatever it is.....? To help the application........
Howd you get the drain line to the other side of the wall? Did under it? Or did you pipe it on last video, cant remember.
PS- No pump and you bought 90lb bags! 😂 My backs too weak for those these days. I'd be pumping
Hot damn I've never ever seen a cmu wall with that much bar before. That thing not moving
Job looks nice just need to rethink that waterproofing ! They sell better waterproofing products that you can roll on like paint n the only difference is just thicker
Are u guys going to change privacy fencing too!! looks old now
Yes it will be changed
I’ve been looking for a idea with standard block for a retaining wall! Looking at doing a similar project with my yard. Part of my wall would be the back wall of a garage, so I can’t really use stepped and textured retaining wall block. I would love to see a video talking with the engineer who designed that!
Good idea
Interesting choice of placement for your bottom “runt” layer of 3/4 cut blocks. The blocks at the bottom of a stack should be the strongest, especially when doing a retaining wall (lateral earth force). Did the engineering account for this? Why not just cut the uppermost blocks to grade?
For sure.
paint roller works well
Ty
To get the water proofing workable, throw on a blob. Then use an electric heat gun to make it more workable. It trowels around more quickly when a little warmed up.
Good idea
I use the 5 gal Black Jack metal pail. Leaving it in the sun works if the weather is warm but I have also put it on a turkey fryer gas burner set on the lowest flame possible to get it nice and runny. Then it will brush on easy.
Really nice!
Great job guys
Ty
The homeowner will watch this video, see you did a great job, think it's nice how you took care of your crew...
...but then might wonder if they're paying you too much since you didn't use the cheaper/faster truck pour option! 😂
could be
That wall will be standimg till the second coming of JESUS!😮😮😮
Hi Odell. I follow your work as I am planning on building CMU wall in my backyard.
Q: why you filled up the back with dirt? I thought you’d be filling it out with crushed stone 3/4 for drainage.
The water will work its way to the drainage system
Music too loud. I have to keep turning up to hear the voiceover then turning down the overloud music.
14:40 I heat the membrane up to about 40°c - 50°c (104°f -122°f) then lay it on thick.
Good idea
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I know I’m a rebar policeman but I still love the content. The rebar for that block wall is so bloody heavy!
Paint roller works good for waterproofing material
I need something similar. What should I expect this to cost? I don’t want to be taken advantage of.
Minimum $175.00 a linear ft.
It depends on if you need the cut back of hill
I know its been a long time since this was posted but I wondered why you did not use open end bond beam blocks and save a lot of work on setting the blocks?
Good point, it would have been easier
Do not you need to connect the existing wall with the new wall with rebar?
Full sending never lifting 😏 🤙 mobbin deep 🙌 Sunday funday vibes on point 👉 👈 👇 👌 have a good week brotha take care of your crew n crew takes care of you heck yeah loyalty is 🔑
Full send 😎 have a good weekend to!
I got a question. Im looking on google and cant find a straight answer. That part at at 11:50 where ur guys fill in the wall. Is that mandatory? Does the concrete u add reach the bottom of the wall? Will filling them with gravel or sand work?
would back up that paint waterproof with a black thick plastic membrane barrier. When water gets down in there it will come through the wall and if you paint the wall it will get mould or bubble. I know b/c that is what happened to me.
Makes sense
Great install. Only question is why not use an agitator/vibrator
when pouring the footer and the bags?
No need at this slump
How many days did it take to lay the block wall?
With the weather,
15 days
Why did you guys choose to do block rather than form it and do a solid concrete wall? I mean I assume block would be cheaper overall perhaps because you would need to build out the rebar grid and everything if you did it formed set up but then with labor and everything else I wonder which would have been cheaper overall but either way looks freaking awesome
In Pennsylvania we can line brackets ( Dog bones)..also why didnt you drill and pin the wall to the house with rebar?
Why disturb the house
Curious as to why y’all didn’t just use bituthene rolls for the waterproofing?
does the waterproofing not need to be on the mortar or the seams of the blocking? Seems like an access point for water to me, especially if the mortar job had some gapage, gives a spot for water to work its way in and erode
100% coverage is best
Why didn't you lay the foundation at the correct height so you didn't have to cut every block?
That retaining wall is going no where.
I wonder if the rebar/concrete under the block wall was too much (I know it was from the engineer design).
Also, besides the work for the crew with the concrete mixing, doing it manually gives them more time to fill the blocks in a much detailed way than with the concrete truck.
Nice jobs guys!
The tool is called a line stretcher or a line dog.
Rooster leg
@@themasonrycompany. It's amazing how many different names one tool can have.
How dare AT&T run cable through your job site?!
You make it look so hard.
I was a bit surprised to see the light blue pool turn to a grey color in one brief moment… are you giving the pool another coating? Great video, thank you.
yes
They sell plastic trowel at the hardware store. They are really cheap and great when you need to spread something that's going to be a mess. Throw it away when you are done.
Sweet
Excelente trabajo saludos 👌👍🧱
wheres the old boy!? in Australia thats what we call our dads meen no dissrespect
I'm curios whether the optical fiber cable joint got buried/encased in concrete.
And nice job as always. And pretty sure your guys appreciated some extra days of work. Good man!👍
Yes it did.
TY
What type of mortar did you use here?
Spec
👍use roller or trowel applied waterproofing
Yeah that might have worked better
Great videos
Ty
