Frame is finished

By The Miller | September 10, 2006 |

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…

Auction for the Bridge

By The Miller | May 2, 2006 |

The blog seemed to be down for awhile. I couldn’t get it to do anything. It is working today and a photo showed up. Hopefully it will come through cyberspace. The photo is of Ethan (age 6) and Cinnamon (age 5) painting the ends of the lumber the Wood Mizers are cutting. Even my grandchildren…

I promised to show one of Ethan’s (Age 6) drawings of the Bridgeton Mill and Covered Bridge. He likes to draw and this is one of his favorite subjects. In one of the last blogs I asked if anyone new what was hanging down at the ends of Ben Hill’s model of the Bridgeton Covered…
