Jeff built our first bridge yesterday! And I helped! I don't have a ton of time to write right now, but I think pictures speak louder in this case anyway.
Squaring it up:
He got all but the end pieces of decking on (those needed to be ripped down and shaped) but the dark won!
The next morning: FINISHED!
(eventually the area between the decks will be landscaped, with a nice, stepping-stone path down to the bridge)
Doesn't it look lovely from upstream?

Wow that looks good! Seems like you guys have some big plans. What size are the beams you used for the three main struts? they look huge in the picture...
look pretty good...
what do you plan on doing on the other side of the stream anyways?
need to get across with the lawn mower? :P
mom said something about more than one bridge?
Thanks guys, glad you like it!
Charles, the beams are 2x10's they're actually made from 3 pieces with the ends cut at a slight angle and butted together with plywood screwed to the back so we could make the curve without having to use an ENORMOUS single piece...
Cameron, we're not going to do too much over there, probably won't mow, but we will have a path that sort of winds around and ends up at a second bridge (not built yet) It's a nice area over there and we just want to be able to walk over and enjoy it. You'll see next time you visit :-D
Nice :D Can't wait to see it - AND the FINISHED kitchen in October :D
