Just an update on replacing old 25 year. old bridge to a taller bridge so our R/C Tug and Badge can get under it. We need at least 2 & 1/2 ft. or more clearance.
We are going to try to get the bridge in next Tuesday with some more guys… The bridge is somewhere around 300 lbs or more so may have to make a home made “U” frame to walk it over the water… Not sure yet. Maybe able to slide it on the two by six’s if enough of them.
Also, found out that we are going to have to raise our storage building Elect. Wires. So ended up make a old time telegraph pole to raise the wire up with. Made it adjustable to raise and lower in its base. Still got to get the glass insulator on yet.
Here are some photo of what we are doing.
This is the old bridge that is being replaced due to dry rot.
This is the area to cross.
This where Bridge has to be raised 6 inches to match the walk way.
Getting ready for staining and sealer.
Ready with raised blocks for adj. to walkway.
Telegraph pole adj. base.
Telegraph pole waiting to get the glass insulator on.
These type of poles in some old town would have a hanger on the side of the pole for a street lantern.
We added a outlet on the flood light post for the under bridge lights that is installed now…
