Looks like a really nice house, also glad to see you are a hands on owner/operator rather than just standing around giving orders.
Yes
Like the truck says “Servicing “ALL” your needs, building stairs on a mountain. Great content.
Yes! Thank you!
David, I will continue to watch your videos as long as you don't say, "Best in the West". Ha. Love the vids.
From my perspective no one is best there is always someone better, you just haven't met them yet
That guy has a bit of narcisim... at least david stays humble.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete I agree. Was poking fun at your competitor. I won't say his name.
@@lightning9279 🤣🤣😅😅😅 you mean the big mouth pumper that never gets his hands dirty but take alllllll the credit 😉 😜
Hahaha shots fired
You do some amazing work and make great videos in the process, I'm an electrician but I'm absolutely fascinated with concrete and masonry work. There's a real art to getting it done right, I hope you continue these for a long time to come!
Thank you very much!
love this guy, i'm a weekend warrior, got our own mixer and many miles on it, Odell always inspires me to take on more, appreciate the great work!
Glad to hear it!
Get it on

@@OdellCompleteConcrete & martial artist too? He'll yeah!

I am continually impressed from one video to another. You make it look so easy when in fact we all know it's not !!
TY
This is why you're THE BEST IN THE WEST. You get your hands dirty and are super humble and friendly. Not like that big mouth pumper that never get's his hands dirty.
I hear you.
I personally am a believer of action speaks louder then words.
That's what I try to do
RHEC 951 lol it’s hilarious when that guys says he’s the best in the west.
hehe yea i hate that guy, however he does know how to run his business i give him that
The "other guy" has a great crew, without them he has a pump and a skid steer... That's it
@west coast custom concrete
Nice job on the forming, I like the molers you dug out to keep it from moving
TY
must have been difficult to film on the hillside! Thanks for putting the effort and sharing
Yes it was!
YW
WOW. What an amazing project. A real head scratcher to organise.
It really is!
TY
Performance and perfection at it's BEST
I concur
TY
Cool. Plywood nice. I Lear most of day's. Thanks. 23 bags in 5 gallon bucket. Used my tape and bed mixer. Learning seeing these know how.
Awesome
Now that is very impressive .
ty
This is neat to watch. A nice departure from the driveway pours. It will be nice to see how it all turns out.
Yes a little break in the routine
Once again, OCC knocks it out of the park!
TY
We try
What an amazing contract. So different from your typical pours. Great viewing on a Sunday morning, here in Scotland.
Glad you enjoyed it
Not only a concrete expert, but you and your team are incredible carpenters!
TY
Wow, thats a complex job. Yet you make the setup of the forms and rest of the work look effortless, as always.
I have done some concrete work myself (most just pads/paths for homes/sheds/parking/driveways etc..) and I can understand how doing something like your sets of stairs curved on a hill is a bit of a mission.
People like you and your team show that concrete is more of an "art" than most people realize. Its not just some joe pumping in slurry and screeding it over with a bit of rough 2x4 ,then slapping over with a float like 'a knife spreading melted butter on bread'. Keep up the videos (and the good work), they're good learning resource as well.
From what I've heard its tricky business, but I grew up doing this and it seems natural to me.
TY
@MaonNZ---Well said, it is an "art". If you continue in the concrete profession your chance will come.....just don't be afraid of it. A complex project like this is "like eating an elephant, one bite at a time"!
@@arkansas1336 Nah mate, got others plans. Might go back because never say never.
rewatched this again .... excellent work guys
TY
will be worth every penny.
I concur
Thats some great weather too. Awesome days for working outdoors 👍 Appreciate the commentary on how you approach the project.
TY
This looks like a great series. Always wanted to learn how to do steps.
I'm learning everyday
@Cris Thomson---Building/designing steps/stairs is like being a dentist, they're a science within themselves.
Can’t wait to see the finished product on this one!
She's a real beauty
Good work
Yay! Hopefully I'll get to see lots of step facing!
you will
Man your brain works like a computer! All that bracing using all you have & more! Gotta make sure no blow-outs happen! I did that under the Pulaski Skyway Bridge in J.C.N.J. I was on the Bottom while they pour concrete that had tiny pieces of what looked like some type of wire but straight & pretty strong wire mixed into cement! Crazy, Scary, loud, fast, & dangerous! Smhlol. I used 2X4s and 2X12s cut wedges all sizes lol! Stopped every potential leak/Blow out ! Your Da Best Odell Inc…👍👌👍👊🏻
Sounds like a fun project.
TY
I like the dig out cleats for anchoring. I seem to remember that from another one of your videos I can’t remember what project that was
Yes I use that system a lot. Works well on block wall also
That's a big job
Yes
This is gonna be the best yet..... Thanks for sharing
You bet
Dave, you're a legend.
TY
I learn so much from your channel... who said concreting is simple it’s not just a matter of mix and pour it’s an art .....
Thanks for all you do Dave! You don't do a lot of hillside stuff so looking forward to it.
Not on video anyways, but I've been doing this for 38 years.
Wow, that's quite a task ahead... 💪
For sure
intense
Looks great..lot hard work by you and your crew!cant wait to see the pour
Thanks 👍
Hard job there . Nice
Yes
@@OdellCompleteConcrete wish i could see more , this is a very advanced job - enginer hahah , how much the chisst jesus h christ , finshing is easy - its all prep work here -
I am a fan of yours. Hi from europe.
Hi
Looking forward to seeing this complete job, it looks very challenging.
It was!
TY
Love the setup demo. Thanks.
My pleasure!
Master 👷🏼♂️

I already watched part two and I had to see how you got there.
I hear that
TY
when part 2 david. loooking forward to it. great informative videos which is way out of my league but like to view and dream.
Ian in Sotland
Working on it

200k baby!!!
Sweet
Another masterpiece!
TY
Loved it
Can’t wait to see part 2 awesome job guys
Just went up
exciting series. i look forward to Part 2!
ty
David, I haven't seen part 2 obviously, but if it's still unedited this might be a good project to explain to your viewers the "placing of concrete" which I'm sure was a 'happening thing' on this job. (Of course, I always used the words "pouring concrete" although that's incorrect terminology....and I knew better than to say/use those words.)
That's true.
The video will be live at 9:30am Satirday
David you do great and beautiful work. I always watch your videos. Makes me think, I can do that😄 boy thats a laugh. Luv your work only wish you were way down south in Texas. Need a ton of concrete work and new design of the front of my house. Take care.
Me too
TY
Great job on the videos
Glad you like them!
I wait for part 2 😄👍
OSS
Great video Dave! 👍
TY
What kind of strength does the beverage can add to the post hole at 10:08? Great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍
Good question!
More of a time capsule
great job m8! if that would of been my property instead of stairs i would just had you do a smooth walk path i would image that be easier to walk up the hill than the steps.
Sounds dangerous
Great video, best in the west!
Glad you think so!
Can’t wait part 2 🤘🏻
TY
Amazing framing. Best in California from what I can see. Great video. 👍
I noticed you don't have concrete footing for this project. Is there a reason for this? Are you not worried it will wobble over time? I am making a similar project.
very nice.
Thanks a lot
Great video got couple of questions if anyone can help
What is the angle of the forms?? 32 degree ??
what is the easiest way to place risers ??
Does it matter whether you start from top or bottom ?
Great video bro! I love the holes for the "anchor points" I'm curious if one big footer at the last step on the bottom would have the same effect? Loving these videos!
The more the merrier
Hi Odell. How would you do a walkway step's landing at the bottom of steps when the sidewalk connecting to steps slopes down 2 inches left to right so that you don't end up with an uneven step riser. I wonder if you have any videos of a similar case.
Thanks
The landing would be twisted so riser could be closer to the same on both sides
How much did this cost lol? id be nice to get some figures at the end or beginning of the video of how much the job costs. for future customers and just for curious people lol
7500
@@OdellCompleteConcrete wow that seems actually reasonable lol for all the work and complex staircase lol i was thinking over 10 lol
Thank you for so informative videos! David would you please give an advice: Sidewalk on hillside. What degree is still comfortable to lay straight walkway and on what degree its better to build stairs? Thank you again
Check local codes.
you could go 1 in 12 with railing, spans no longer then 20' then a landing
@@OdellCompleteConcrete---Your answer appears to be Federal code (ADA) if I remember correctly.
Amazing!💜
Thank you! 😄
@@OdellCompleteConcrete keep it up man!!! You guys do such great work!!!!💯💯 Really proud of what humans like you do😁
Excuse me, friend, what was the math you did to make the steps of the curve square?
Why with some concrete projects you have to put rock for drainage under for for things like this you can do it right on the dirt?
I'm in Southern California where it's beach weather everyday
I wish you did work in North San Diego.
Me too
When are you gonna have the rest of the videos of this amazing staircase? Cant wait to see it!
Saturday 9:30 A.M.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete looking forward to seeing it!
Thanks for all the great content! How much does a staircase project like that cost ?
7500
We live down a rocky road and I was wondering if we would have to remove all the rocks before making the drive way???
no need
Great job. Did you reduce the depth of the tread on the inside side of the curve?
Yes
Hello David, i have a question i really need answered, i am pouring a 6ft wide by 27 foot long patio against 1 side of my brick house here in Michigan. Can i pour the cement right against the brick so they are in contact or do i need to put a piece of that felt material along the entire patio to go between the concrete and the brick while pouring? I see much conflicting information. some people say go right against the brick as the patio will move away from the house if it needs to while others say to use a felt because if you do not use felt the cement will bond to the brick and if the patio moves it can pull the bricks out. Thank you and i LOVE your videos!
Your in a area that freezes up occasionally
That may make the difference whether you use felt or not.
Check with the local building department
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Hello David, so i did my 6X27 patio pour yesterday........it was my first attempt in my life at ever doing any type of cement work on this scale after watching many of your videos.....it did not go to well.....it was a 2.75 yard pour and by the time the truck poured it all in and i screeded it, it set and could not really be floated so now i have a giant patio that was screeded and that is it so you can imagine what that looks like...i was able to float a little of it but that was it. what can i do make it a bit better? Would hiring someone to shave it with one of those diamond machines help? What are my options? Thank you so much for your videos, you are a master!
Do you cut risers with bevel or just square cuts? Seems like you dont need a lot of kickers
No bevel,
to hard to see the bottom when placing
3rd 👍
Sweet video
In the money
TY
Second
Hey Dave - hope the stairs went well... I have a question: how do you like your Vermeer after having it awhile now? I’m thinking about getting one or possibly a toro dingo. Any thoughts? Thanks- looking forward to part II.
I like the Vermeer. higher lift, more stable, more power
That probably was a hard project to bid, to give the customer a fixed fee cost in advance, but doable. Looks good.
Yes it was, but we got it done at cost
What size timber do you normally use for in ground pegs? They look thin. Thanks.
Steel stakes
Good job how did you get the spacing on the treads
Height and length
@@OdellCompleteConcrete you are a master of Forming and Cement wow
Do you know if this will work in Zone 6 on down (freezing temps) or will it need more footing?
Does the ground freeze?
@@OdellCompleteConcrete Down to at least 3ft. This is Michigan. Zone 5 & 6.
How many steps before a landing is required?
Well, first there's reentry, then positioning for chute deployment, then splashdown
I found out the hard way, when working on a slope add at least 50% addl labor time. Stressful job there....
For sure
Do you like those flat stakes better then rounds? Where can I buy those flat or square stakes?
Round is for rock.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete what do you mean round is for rock?
Round stakes are typically used in hard rocky ground
3 foot, 3 inches. You mean 1 meter. :)
Bingo
How much does a job like this cist? I want to check on the prices first before making the call
10500
Is there a standard for stair height, breadth etc. ?
yes
Pardon my ignorance but it seems to me that is you rent mixing the materials yourself you are using a pump. Is there a reason for this because where I am a pump can cost 700.00 on top of concrete delivery and concrete charge. I guess what I am getting at is, can you do some videos with just a concrete truck chute please.
I have, the videos are in my library
Long time viewer ! Do you have a job opening ?! Mid twenty hunk looking to work with cement .
Sure
Tomorrow in Orange
Hello Odell. I love your work. I just stated my contracting business this year. How do you deal with certain people that want to low ball?
Walk away
@@OdellCompleteConcrete---One of your best answers to date since I've been watching your videos!!!!
Hi David, have I missed pt 2 or is it still coming?
Its coming
Pues ojala fuera en español
Yeah!!!
First
get it on
