Weather: Partly cloudy 73F/48F
The Job:
Replace the handrails, toe boards and deck boards on the LE42 bridge in LBESF. We will use the old handrail wood for diagonal bracing under the deck. We will have to unscrew the old deck boards , re-tape the stringers, diagonal bracing and screw in new deck boards. There won't be any major bridge modifications, just new top wood as it was originally designed.
The Hard Part:
The LE42 bridge is 3/4 of a mile hike from the staging area at campground 6. The material will have to be hand carried to the bridge and the old material carried out. So, I need a bunch of volunteers !! 60 deck boards, 4 2x6x10' and 16 2x4x10', tools , screws etc.
The job will need all battery tools.
