Nice bridge, and nice bridge project. I like how you think and went about it. I can picture it when it is done and should like nice as logging road meandering through the woods and over your little bridge. After reading this thread, I think if I ever have a bridge project I am going to have a Firewood Hoarders Club Get-Together considering how so many people wished they could have helped out!! I won't even plan it, just say "I was thinking about building a bridge here", and see what develops.
A little more progress today. Shimming timber to one plain and lashing them with stainless wire. And a few hair cuts at the knobs and knots.
Almost. That's Kato from the Pink Panther movies. You wouldn't take him as the hoarding type to look at him. Actually, that's one of my boys A) working mostly in what is a very dark shade and 2) dressed black as death, with a hood on because I told him to wear a hat but he couldn't find one. I think he really enjoyed it, understanding what we were trying to get done, participating in the decision making on how to lift the logs, what size shim we needed, working with the lineman pliers, etc. I think he's hooked on the project which makes me happy.
A most enjoyable post, I too have a small brook. It dries up in August and September if it's been dry. I take a lot of enjoyment from it building little dams and waterfalls. Cleaning out branches and leaves that wash down, in times of heavy rains it grows to 5 or 6 feet wide and jumps the banks making a small pond down back. I enjoy listening to the sound of the water going over my little waterfall as I feed the skeeters.
Freedom started here, when we were 13 colonies, one day in April the British came to take our powder and shot. We said, no, I don't think so. A nation was born as a result.
At the battle of Bunker hill, the NH volunteers held one of the flanks. General George Washington arrived later to put cannon on the Dorchester heights which put the British ships in the harbor under the threat his guns, they left Boston.
Knox drug that/those things down what is now Rt 9, at least in my town. The best part was they had no cannon balls. Just the guns. Feel free to fact check me. I got that from Paul Harvey. Good. Day
My wife likes to hear rain at night. I'm a plumber. The sound of dripping or running water keeps me up...cant stand it! I do enjoy peepers though (And no, Eric, I don't mean people looking through my windows.)
