Bailey Bridge II

Last week I got to go help put up another temporary bridge where an old bridge had washed out. This one was in Eastern Montana, about 500 miles from here. We put in some long hours and got the bridge open in a few days time. Beats sitting in the cubicle!

We built the bridge on one side of the creek on rollers. Then pushed the bridge across to the other side.

This picture shows the bridge when it is about half way across:

I set up the timelapse camera and made a video of the whole process. It is too big to put on the internet though.

Sunday, April 19 - Beautiful weather but windy

After getting everything ready for the appraiser, we had some time for some fun. We went fishing Friday and Saturday afternoon. All that I caught was an old bone and a stick. Fred had 2 bites but they got away.

The doorway going from the old part to the new.

I got permission from the cabinet maker to put pictures on the blog even before the door pulls were put on.

Another picture of the doorway.

Fred's little helper.

April 13th - more work

Some updated pictures and the cabinet worker doing his job.
