Burr Arch Covered Bridge: Testing the Forms
The first arch was ready to be removed from the form after three days of work but remained until I was able to have a forklift delivered. The beam reacted superbly when it was lifted, keeping its form quite well and no cracking was herd. On February 21st we placed the beam on benches for prep.
Getting the arc lengths , joint locations and general layout was part of the fun of this job! I have truly enjoyed the challenges.
