Shingles...

I had a little time this afternoon to work on the bridge. I had found a blown down Cedar tree. I cut a section and brought it to my shop where I coverted some of it into shingles for the bridge. As the wood is still really wet, the sawdust is sticky and tended to clog the saw. with the lower wheel cover off, the chips fell free and I was able to make the batch I needed for the roof of the bridge. After a little counting and math, I figured I need about 1800 shingles.

I glued them on using clear silicone caulk. I used a 1/2" wide strip as a guide to get the shingles to line up in neat rows with a 1/2" exposure.

I did not quite get finished to clear the shop for paying jobs as I had hoped but I am close.
