News › Bridge Building
As a result of the meeting at the May Launch, we determined the weekend of
May 30 & 31 will be when we are going to build our bridges. We will be constructing 3 bridges. 2 log (with planking) and 1 barrel (with planking). We will need every able bodied person we can muster to help. We will be cutting down trees, limbing, dragging and positioning them. We'll be cutting wood, planking the logs and anchoring them. We'll also be framing the barrel bridge, decking it, and testing it. :-) With a lot of help and a little luck, we should be able to get it done in one weekend. Needed: Generators Nail Guns & Nails - 3" Saws Chainsaws!! Screw Guns & Screws - 3" deck Heavy Chains - for dragging logs and also anchoring the bridges Rope (synthetic) - for weaving the barrels together and handrails among other things. A decent sized pickup truck and/or trailer - to Fetch wood and drag logs, Other Miscellaneous tools - if anybody has any ideas let me know. Below is rough sketch of what the barrel bridge should look like. Please go here.... http://www.pyro.ws/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=19 ... and post if you can attend and what you could supply (if anything). I need a concrete head count to properly plan for this. It is supposed to be beautiful weather.... Keep your fingers crossed. Thanks. Hope to see you then.
