The Old Bridge
The old deck
Note the rotting middle joists
The old railings, they were very flimsy
The stripped bridge. There is only one middle joist and all the boards have been detached.
The bridge isn't so bad after a pressure wash
The winds blew my tarps off, soaking the new wood.
Trying to dry out some boards
Some of our cutting crew sizing boards for installation
Installation of the posts, note the painted bridge skeleton
Installation of the posts, note the (mostly) painted bridge skeleton
Some of the adults starting on the decking
More work on the posts. Skeleton is nicely completed.
I have no idea what we were all looking at
The Jobsite
Halfway there!
The new skeleton, mostly painted
Some decorative touches at the railings
DONE!
We still need to do some more painting, but first the wood has to dry out for a couple of weeks.
