Bridge Building Party!

Looking at the St. John's bridge everyday can make for some serious bridge-envy. We decided to compensate with one of our own, in homage to the afore mentioned. Effing A.



Guilty as charged in this project:
- Gerhardt
- Tristan
- Pete
- Jess
- Basho
- Tom
- John Dougherty
- Jack
- Honore
- Joe
- A party full of people


Some beams were hauled.


Some beams were raised.

A tale of two towers.
Through measure and scale.

Things are made and pointed at. Teej looks on with keen interest.
Basho miscuts yards of lumber.

Gerhart does not do the same.

Some talk is had.



Tristan doing the do.
Planks getting laid for the spans.

Horizontal supports are added. The party gets bigger.

Six hours later, it's as if we've always had a bridge in the yard!




Peace out, girl and boy scouts. The only thing remaining to be done is the stylization of the bridge to mimic features of the St. John's.
