Life in Antrim

To bridge a creek...

Mikey and I used the last vestiges of light yesterday to finish the bridge in the picture. We have a creek which dissects our property...and it's always been a bit interesting finding a safe spot to cross without getting wet.

The bridge is not as I originally intended. I didn't follow the rule to "measure first"...and bought eight foot landscaping logs to work as trusses. I found out after that our creek is almost always at least eight feet wide :-)

The location I chose has a large rock jutting out, but it did mean the bridge had to be thinner than desired. I may design a more elaborate bridge in the future...who knows if this one will survive the spring flooding :-)
