In 1887, Edison embarked on a project that would later prove to be a huge fiasco......He noticed that one could mold concrete into a wide variety of shapes and thought that he could build a house by pouring concrete into a single, giant mold! And not only the house: "everything from bathtubs, windowsills, staircases, and picture frames to electrical conduits and reinforcing rods would be molded right in."

Wow, he wanted to make other things like bathtubs and picture frames out of concrete.
Stitchawl, I think it is safe to say you have this one. Perhaps it would be ok to quiz on with a new question?
