Getting back to the big bridge, here’s the first of 12 girders for the bridge.

So I guess we'll see this project finished sometime in the Spring right?

Hoping to have the girders done in the next couple of days, and install them over the weekend. Thats the plan, anyway. And we know how that goes…

Nice looking bridge.How were they fastened?

#233

I have some temporary widgets glued to the back of the girders until I get them all lined up and all, then Ill add more of these.

I intend to “trap” the angle in PVC board, but, if need be, to take it apart and remove the girder.
