Stripping the Mold

After the concrete has cured the forms are removed. The forms have tie rods that hold the forms in place prevent the forms from spreading from the weight of the wet concrete. These ties are released from the forms and the form work can be removed. The ties will remain lodged in the concrete walls for ever. The forms are stacked by size and will be used to make another foundation.
