Special thanks for explaining the situation with the dobies. As an interested DIY home owner, I have been watching and admiring your work and every episode for way over a year now (seeing such nice work seems to be addictive to me). Anyhow, the question about the lack of dobies and the rebar on the ground was always in the back of my head and I always wanted to ask you about it. But I have never asked, only because I have assumed that you had your good reasons, plus I was worried that my question could be misunderstood for me trying to be a smarty pants. Many thanks for bringing it up and explaining it so well and of course many thanks for making these videos and sharing your great work with us.
Hey man thats really cool of you to mention/shout out the locals and their Business /names ... it really helps the community get back on their feet 👍 every little bit helps ! Good man 🤝🤝🤝
That was a beautiful concrete pour!!!!!!!! It’s crazy to look at the before shots to see how bad the old concrete was. You and your crew did a perfect job pouring, smoothing, and cutting the new concrete! I can’t believe how well that Dewalt cordless vacuum works with the concrete saw! There was no dust in the air!!!! Great work!!!!!!!
Hi David, I'm in the UK and I've learned so much from watching your videos. You're very humble and let your fantastic work speak for itself. The quality of filming and editing is improving all the time, especially with the drone footage. A big thanks from Mat in England 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
not too many people have the coordination to kick screed along side another person. thats serious skill. Love the B4 & Aftr at the end, can really see & appreciate all the work involved. Nice n clean D!
Thanks again for the video in school at NJIT for concrete engineering so i plan on working for myself one day doing concrete pours like this so thanks agian
Great as always Dave! You know what would be cool, if you had a DeWalt backpack vacuum attachment so you don’t have to move it at all. Just a thought, don’t even know if they make one though!
always impressed with the projects and the results and also impressed with how the editing, sound and whole channel is growing. great job everyone involved
@@OdellCompleteConcrete saw that shadow and rewatched to see it. very cool way to catch that angle. was wondering how the f did they get that then saw the shadow. veddddy cool move.
Excellent work!! Just out of curiosity, why wasn’t the visible cracked portion of the garage floor replaced? Seems the part that is visible should match the rest of the driveway. Thanks for the great videos!!!
I wish you could come out to Colorado and fix my driveway, garage, and basement slab. The builder poured on a snowy day and all the concrete is uneven from the heat blankets they had to put over it.
Could you pour sections of concrete with rebar sticking out and pour a new section attached chef to the rebar on the end to continue a driveway if you did it alone?
Dave I loved the ending with the before and after. That would be especially nice on the bigger series. What type of blade do you use on your angle grinder?
What’s the difference between saw cutting the diamond pattern vs cutting it in while wet? I personally find when it’s cut in wet it looks more fancy lol but does it affect the actual structure of the slab?
When you cut the concrete while wet you only get one chance to get it right. If you wait a day or two, you put down chalk lines, which you can adjust until everything looks perfect. Then you cut.
Larry Keenan Actually if you wait more than a day it can crack the purpose of joints is to control cracks but saw cutting the next day like Odell does is crucial sometimes he even throws in a couple wet joints before cutting the next day but overall the difference is minimal work the same
Yes accuracy of placement is one benefit. A few more benefits. 1. small cut hold less water and dirt therefore no staining. 2. Easier to roll things over. 3. Less man power.
Top notch as always sir, thanks for posting! How does that saw run on stamped surfaces? I've been planning to buy one, but wanted to ask. About 80% of our work is stamped concrete. Thanks!
this is one example as to why I don't like saw cutting. you can't switch your broom pattern at a joint. I would have done top half of drive one way and the "approach" the other. looks good tho
