I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share. I've been in the tile industry for 48 years, contracting for 35. Learned a lot along the way about various trades but not critical details on concrete. I'll certainly be utilizing your offerings as I begin doing smaller room additions and such now that I'm retiring from daily contracting. Thanks for bringing us along.

Beautiful job. When I was growing up in Indio, Ca, my Dad used to do the ground work and setting up the rebar and 2x lumber when working on the family home. I watered the finished cement for days after the pour. I like the way you make each job personal and treat each job like it was your project that you were working on. Your pride in workmanship shows.

I have to say that I'm impressed. Watching how experts go through their process allows us to understand the value of the experience it has taken to get to this level of craftsmanship. The ONLY thing that this DIY'er can see that was missing from this video was the way the re-bar ties into the existing foundation were brought in to line with the planned slab. (Yes, I know it seems obvious but, as said I'm a DIY'er.) Nice Messrs O'Dell. Much appreciated. Thank You.

Love your working details and explaining the steps.

In the 50s and 60s Residential/ Commercial Concrete Construction was the family business when I was growing up and with my Uncle, Brother, and Brother-in-law all branching off and starting their own firm's labor was in much demand. So by the time I graduated from High School, I knew the trade Residental side well but Uncle Sam called and I was off to war. They made me into an Electrician and I never look back after that. Other than code changes I see the trade has not changed much, one, thing though is the kneeboards, wow great, what a time saver, and the rebar shear, (we used bolt cutters), in my day that would have been concrete block and wire mesh job except for the foundation tie into the house. I really enjoy watching you and your crew getten-er-done.

Good idea TY

I worked with an engineer in CA for 40 years. There is such a thing as over reinforcing concrete. #3 @ 18"o.c. is better for slab on grade. Anchor bolt spacing is tied to the shear wall above. if your shear walls are over 6' long, 5/8" AB @ 48"o.c. probably would have been fine. Too bad engineers are so expensive because they can save the cost of needless over design. Over design is not better. It is simply a waste of resources. Don't forget to cut crack control joints. Great job. Great video.

@OdellCompleteConcrete

@cruzreyes6638

unfortunally ACI code requires a min on 0.0018bh for minimum reinforcement to minimize cracking this is also noted on the latest version of the CBC. as an example 0.0018(4"thick by 18" strip) = 0.1296 square inch of steel and a #3 is 0.11 square inch which is less than allowed by code).
