Concrete Mold Completion

Unforeseen circumstance is the bane to architecture. 
Serendipity is the designer of architecture.

A slightly complex mold 9.4 feet long becomes too gigantic to move. 
End resulting weight nearly 300lbs.

After spending another few hours redesigning the mold, I finally placed  'rebar' and fabric on the mold. The result seems beautiful. I finished the mold with rope anchored throughout the mold as tie rods. Time to cast soon this weekend.
