as the bridge 'floor' has been laid, using logs side by side, it has come to the attention of the foreperson that there are some possible design issues with the current state.
Yes that is the river you can see through the bridge |
That being said, it look great and I am very excited about being able to drive on it soon!
I was concerned that the logs might 'run away', so some stays had to be put in place.
This of course, needed two more logs, so there was more Axe Men action.
Then the Iseki post hole digger expereince you may remember from much earlier posts, and then putting the posts in with back fill and crow bar.
Luckily the Brother in Law was available as Tech support for the FB.
But the course of true love, much like this bridge, never runs smooth.
The logs don't meet up. So we need to source some rocks to fill in the gaps.
My mum and I went up to the old gravel pit to pick up rocks - and then dumped them out of the Landcruiser and onto the bridge.
I am a rock fan! |
Then the FB got on with the earth works.
There were a few hairy moments (for me) when he was walking the machinery almost over the bridge....
But it looks great. And ready for the maiden voyage!
