Mill Covered Bridge May Progress

 

Tuesday, 16 May 2000 - Hi Joe,

Hi Joe, Saturday we took a ride up to Tunbridge to see how the work was coming along. Both trusses are done and are upright. All the floor beams are in. Talk about OVERKILL. I don't think they should have used so many floor beams, but that's the way they spend the money! It looks good and will be able to hold a tank. Here is a picture of the bridge. They are just starting the roof.

It was quite a challenge...The project is ahead of schedule."
