And that's why YOU'RE the best in the west. You actually put in work. Another awesome job 👏 👍 🙌 👌

You’re like the Bob Ross of concrete. I watch your videos because your voice is so relaxing.

I like how you kept the blowout in the video and showed how you resolved… for us guys learning, this is very valuable..

I never thought I’d enjoy watching someone do concrete work! But you and your crew are awesome 👏 👏

Pleasure to watch a man who obviously knows his craft!

Love those caps formed in place. They ain't goin' nowhere.

Real world concrete work. I like that you showed what you did to fix cap when it didnt go 100% correctly. Thats called experience. Awesome job.

I don’t even know anything about concrete and I still like seeing your videos because of the precision, hard work and quality finish.

Caps came out beautiful!

Superb vid even when things didn't go quite to plan you explained how to put it right , excellent tradesman UK

This guy is truly experienced and shares his knowledge that's awesome thanks

Awesome work!!!! Take pride in every job. Small or big !!! Always pays off. !!

I like how you cut and break all the 80lb bags for easy loading 👍 my little bro taught me that trick after I ruined about 20 t shirts loading 80s the hard way into that slurpy rolling mixer! Haha. Nice looking wall👍

Very sharp work,good recovery! I did IBS years ago(Royal Homes),, contractor didn't plan for blowouts,, commandeered a backhoe, cleaned the mess,rebuilt corner/ac plywood sppts,and back in the races!

That is the best video I’ve ever seen as far as pore in place. Thank you for making these.

I really appreciate this video as I am currently building a couple of seatwalls with a concrete cap for the first time. I'm not a concrete pro but I have been in construction all of my life. I'm retired now, 68 years old. Your videos are extremely helpful.

Absolutely remarkable. Thanks for the education. I wish I lived closer to you. I would work for free just to learn from you.

This is oddly relaxing to watch.

I think it's great that you show that even the pros run into problems, like where the glue popped on the foam. Really good to see how you handle those situations!

I do concrete in Indiana USA, your job and explanation is so good.

True proffesional its beautiful guys, I love concrete benches for some reason this will be a great place to sit for the owner, thanks for making the videos.

I really like the part at 13:07. Fantastic monologue.

I like the cuts where you go to normal speed and we can hear the work being done. I think that makes a positive difference in the videos.

I'm going to be doing some in place column caps. These videos are awesome for me to work out potential problems and game my process If I had the money I would totally try to get the Odell guys over. But, videos are the next best thing to being there

Done well, and looks like yours is, concrete is awesome. Bending that rebar into the caps man, right on

Caps turned out perfect. Awesome work!

I’ve been coming here twice a day waiting for part 2. Thanks man

Awesome video. I was amazed that styrofoam held back that concrete. Good job.

David, much respect - appreciating your lovely workmanship!

Many tricks and talents there. Nice

Really smart. I will be building a wall/BBQ area in my garden within the next few months so I think I am sold on this poured in place cap.

Excellent job on those walls. Not many people do that work correctly. Thanks for the video 😃

Thats really nice. Perfect place to have a form blow out. When you are hand mixing. Put the concrete back in the wheel barrow and fix it.

Man, that's impressive

As we say here in the UK.... That is the dogs bollocks. Brilliant work 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

alot of hard graft when there is easier ways out there. hats off from a stone mason in the uk, tidy work and keep up the good grafting

Man that knows what he is doing

That's 🔥 as the kids say outstanding 👏

Nice hobbystyle work.

Unreal how easy you make that look!

I’ll tell ya what, another great job! Shout out to Avery too he’s stuck with it! Working hard is a beautiful thing!

Thank you David, for posting these videos so close to thanksgiving!!! I bet your client feels so much better and secure with a solid, high PSI, fiber mesh, and steel reinforced super cool and beautiful concrete walls with poured in place caps!!! Maybe like getting that shiny new bicycle on Christmas day! So grateful also that you bring that calm and confident voice over for the videos. Its mediataitve! Looking forward to the next one!!! Wishing you and your family a very happy thanksgiving!

You’re a bad dude. Very nice work my friend.

Wow. Thats a stout short wall! Amazing work

The cap looks beautiful!

Clean work 🤟🏽🤟🏽

Excellent work there David masterfully done

Awesome job!! I had to refresh to leave a comment. It said comments are disabled for this video... I musta watched it too quick, lol.

Damn that looks good, can’t wait for the rest!

I have a small cement mixer for my Boxer Mini Skid. Ive poured CMU walls for my parents in their landscaping for a BBQ island and a Waterfall Feature.

Looks very nice

On the scratch cote after we use the metal trowel we use a rubber trowel then the sponge we can get the texture from corese to almost a drywall look. Your looks great nice use great job

Beautiful work.

It’s cool hearing Orange County speech pattern 👍🏾

Very nice sir.

Good one Odell, Bring on part 3!!!!! cant wait

LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!!!

My Uncle's property (Oklahoma) sits on a two acre lot that has a fairly steep slope all the way to the west end (the slope of the land continues beyond his property to the west for almost a 1/4 mile). There aren't many houses to the west because of the slope and the fact a major highway runs north/south at the end of the sloped land. The house, shop/garage, and their three sheds sit on the eastern acre (which is the flattest but still a slight slope). The other acres is wide open with trees. We have a huge gopher and mole problem, so erosion has been a major problem. I'm constantly filling in holes and smashing down the runs. The west end of my Uncle's shop/garage had a layer of concrete blocks to hold back dirt to cover the footing due to the slope of the land. Over the years, the blocks have sunk into the ground and the footing was starting to be uncovered due to erosion. I did a temporary fix and leveled the dirt and restacked the blocks. But now it sits about an inch above the Oklahoma red clay bricks he made for a walkway from the norths side of the garage and wrapped around to the south than turned west to the entrance of his wood shed for the lawn equipment. Those used to sit higher also, but runoff has caused the ground to sink and the bricks sit almost three inches lower than when originally laid. The bricks are brittle since they are reclaimed for the cities old brick roads from 40-60 years ago, so it's a pain trying to pull them up without them crumbling. My Uncle told me I won't be able to save all of them, and that we can got newer ones as needed. Watching these videos has taught me there is a lot of work involved in making sure the bricks and blocks are level and have a steady base. What I thought was going to be an easy job I've realized is going to involve a lot more work to ensure the job is done right and lasts a long time. Looks like this project will have to wait until spring so I can have enough time to do the job right. I'm going to add two more layers of concrete blocks to ensure there is plenty of coverage for the footing and build a rack for their fire wood so it's not stacked on the ground. I'm also thinking about laying bricks on top of the dirt since we won't have any grass or vegetation growing there. But I'll have to figure out drainage. Well, the only way I'm going to learn is by research and doing. lol.

that wall cap is art...nice going man!

Beautiful work!

Very nice!!

nice work, satisfying to see the result

Man I love this channel

that's a work of art .... great results guys!!

Those caps came out great👍

Looks beautiful

Thanks Odell! 👍🏽👍🏽

Nice job

thank you for posting and sharing, nice work!

Beautiful work

Love this series, thanks guys for sharing your skills with us :) very interesting video

Looking awesome, great way to top a wall 👏👏

goood job vvvvvvvvvvv

Another great job!

Excellent work

I need this …nice

Nice work!

You guys are pros: Rebar...filling the cores...bonding blocks. Nice block laying for guys who don’t do it everyday.

Had my stair forms blow out on me last pour- what a nightmare- barely saved it - My own fault- too much of a hurry forming it up- seeing it happen to areal pro like you shows it can happen to anyone- thanks for your videos and advice.

Dam nice work sir 👍 love your attention to details.

Great! Very educational! Happy Thanksgiving!

Well done 👍😁

Looking good

It really amazes me how "wet" early concrete can still keep its shape. Timing is essential though. And like you did. First a small piece to see if the concrete is sturdy enough to keep itself up. Its how they do concrete tunnels too! Just like how they use external mold vibrators to consolidate the concrete. Greetings, Jeff

Even with blowouts you make it look so damn easy!

Looks good sir. I love doing benches and stuff. The one off stuff if you will. Keep up the good work.

great job!

Superb video and workmanship. I assume its not necessary to let the footing dry as you built on top of it after the pour?

wow I'm shocked that foam held so well. you are deep enough I would think you'd get some leaking out the bottom or get a buldge in the middleof the long side. going to try it

5th 👍 Notifications must be turned off... Sweet video !

👍💯💯very good!!!

Very skillful, ty
