A lady asked me to replace her old "bridge" with a new one. The old one had a ridiculous arch in it that cause many people to slip and fall if it was even slightly wet. I wish I had taken a picture of it. I put three 2×4's underneath and tapered them at the ends to meet the ground. I am always...

Nine layers of 3/4" x 6" wide boards; bent and glued with waterproof glue. Band sawed to form smaller radius on lower edge. Then do it all over again for a second one. I glued on a layer each day as it took quite a bit of force to do more than one and it was like wrestling a snake! It's held...
