Now, I need to let ya'll know I'm not the great bridge builder you gave me credit for.

This next photo says it all - The bridge and road don't line up.



The bridge and road are a HO scale 5 feet off.

Come to think of it, not my fault, it's the damn surveyor's fault. I built it to the correct specifications, per the bridge blue prints.

Maybe this will just give the Judge a chance  to tell us a story about the road surveyor crews in you area.

I think this is nothing more than a mis-calculation of the Tangential Isosceles that appears in all Bridge Construction done after the idea has gelled.  A possible re-do of your concrete composition in the closest road may need to be looked at for a possible positive conclusion.

Don't be afraid of the Dark Arts.

It looks to be another government job - over budget and over schedule.  >:( >:( >:(

Tom just getting caught up again.  The scene with the new tress beautifully done.


The road and bridge someone needs to be fired for this!!  ;)




Jerry,

Thank you for the compliment. I'd like to fire myself but I can't take the time off.  8)


However, I will find someone to blame it on.

Tom ;D

Jim,

Yea, a miscalculation of the isosceles triangle for sure. I guess I should have paid more attention in calculus class.

Greg,

Possibly so. However, I didn't see the other five government workers standing around while I did all the work.

The bridge is almost finished but I need to fix the roadway now.



I planned on cutting off one side and adding to the other. I decided this would look half ass so decided against it.



More in a few.

I measured back to where the slight curve in the road starts and made a cut.



I then removed the entire section including the pink foam.
