Thank you, Terry. I agree.

As WD mentioned, you don't need to make your mooring "all-chain". A nylon rode connected to several feet of chain is sufficient.
My SS chain was bought at an outdoor retailer's—off a near-empty reel of the stuff. I estimated what remained to be about 30', and told the employee I needed 25'
. Rather than laborously cut the remaining 5' (losing one link and having only 5-feet left to sell)
at my request
he threw-in the extra footage at the 25' price!

1) SS can't be economically recycled, so the SS sinks were headed for a landfill—
somewhere. 
2) When SS rubs against SS (as it will—endlessly—at a mooring),
wear is greatly reduced.
3) Concrete cures best when it is covered. Pictured is a carefully sealed tin can sealing the only opening—and
not a soil pipe.
