Frame is finished
As you can see the bridge is almost finished. The last piece of the arch was put in on Friday. The big jobs left are the siding and the roof. We didn't have enough $$$$$ for the hand split shake roof so we are going with a metal roof. A lot of folks wanted a metal roof because it doesn't leak like a wood shake roof and it is maintenance free for many years.
The History Class from Turkey Run High School came and helped with staining the siding. They worked 2 days and painted all the batten strips. (The siding is called Board and Batten - The siding is 12 inches wide and is verticle on the bridge. There is a small 3 inch board that covers the gap between the 12 in. boards and it is called the batten) We decided to use solid color stain instead of paint because it does not peel like paint. The paint on the old bridge was always peeling. If you look close you can see the kids have a lot of paint on them. They were haveing a lot of fun and painted each other along with the boards.

This is the first time I have seen the blog. Didn't know it existed. I am one of thousands who loved the old bridge and considered it the most beautiful covered bridge in the world. My heart was broken when I saw the fire on TV. Reading this blog, my eyes are filled with tears again, but with gratitude and admiration for the love and toil that has gone into putting a bridge over the creek at Bridgeton again. God Bless you, Mike, and all of your wonderful, hard-working friends!
My husband & I were there October 14th 2006. The bridge is absolutely beautiful! As I walked through the mill I saw postcards of the bridge as it was burning. I was shedding tears. What a shame! Anyway, the new one is very nice!!!! The Wisehart's
Do not cry about the burning this way we have been able to see the value in maintaining our history for future generations. I hope to see the mill and bridge soon in 2007. I will walk fast past the burning bridge postcards. Thanks for great information.
