Covered bridge!

[smcgill]

This thing is close to 4'

It's built with cedar that was cut down to size.

I used tytebondIII glue and a brad nailer.

As you can see the roof is soda cans.

My hans still hurt from the crimper.

So here we go .

 

Let's se how she holds up!

Looks like someone has been suffering from "cabin fever". Should you ever get tired of looking at that monster, UPS knows where my front door is located. (check that – I don’t have that much space).

Oh, that's a great bridge. I have a soft spot for covered bridges, and this one really captures the spirit of the full-size bridge.
