You sir have mastered the art of improvising, you found a way to make the seemingly impossible work. I simply loved your creativity, taking baby gurl for a spin at the end, gave the project the best final touches ever. Loved that tender daddy/daughter moment
Good job on the build, if you notched the beams you could have had the joists sitting on the beams and screwed with the lags and it woulda been a hell of a lot stronger. I wouldnt rely solely on the lag screws for all of my support. You always come back and replace the lag screws with 3/8" carriage bolts but thats just an idea. I gotta make myself a little bridge where my backyard slopes into a gully and then goes back uphill.
Nice work. But how come you didn't protect the wood framing with a polyurethane? I have a 150" and a 183" bridge and I am having issues with rotting wood now. I have to redo them after 6 years. However I am trying to do this on the cheap.
Nice build man, I have the same issue although my creak is not as wide and have a bridge already that I just need to renovate. Maybe I will just redo from scratch. Thanks for sharing, that’s some hard work... great job
I believe he’s being a little sarcastic. Correct me if I wrong, but this is actually poorly built. It’s not going to handle loads and not show signs of weaken. His comment is not wrong.
Nice job, but you really should put a nice railing on it to make it safer for your children who will be playing on it all of the time, and it fill make the bridge look much better also. Good job!
@@MakersLane sorry I mean just for the base layer in this video. Do you mean that the lumber and stuff you Used to build this specific base cost you $2500? Thank you for your time!
just be careful with that Bridge, as kiddo's are clumsy and overly bold, and will likely, fall off that bridge, a few times over the course of a few years. The stones underneath, are a bit scary. Though, water, in general is scary for kiddos, so keep that in mind.
To keep from killing aquatic wildlife, particularly invertebrates at the base of the food chain, silt barriers should have been installed first to prevent polluting the stream with mud and concrete.
You need to work on your carpentry skills and proper measuring. Not sure if I'd follow your video for my project. But if you are okay with what you put up then good for you
