Well I never its a wall, OK its a little wonky in one or two places, but that will be OK once it is rendered. Now I have 3 piers to cast. I have had a few problems with casting concrete, mostly in making sure that the concrete stays where it should and the molding does not "Blow out".
I want these pillars to look good as I don't plan to render them, so I have spent a good bit of time preparing and oiling the wood that will be use. so that it should produce a nice smooth finish. I have also used to pieces of pipe and some wire paces through the shuttering (the mould for the pier) at the bottom to secure the bottom together and stop the mould from "Blowing out". Lets hope all the work is worth it....
Talking of piers we have also cast the bottom of the arch between the kitchen and dining room...
