picture of the railroad ties i plan on put on for the deck, 14" wide bridge ties work well for this plan. nice to know people who work for CSX

closer shot of the i-beams, total of 32 bolts holding those suckers down.

here is a shot looking upstream at the bridge, shows the low water crossing that i use now.

another shot from the other side, shows my silverado in the background

this one shows my driveway going uphill towards the main road. paved road is 1/2 mile away. notice the shade on the road, will have to change that so snow will melt off driveway, now it just stays there till it melts

shot taken pointing downstream, showing creek flowing into the other fields

Why the unequal spacing on the I beams, or is that just the camera angle?

 

[Gatorboy]

He put two on each end, and then two more to match the width of car/truck tires.

I picked the i-beam spacing because of the difference between a small compact car, like my wife's geo. And the difference in a full size truck or my car trailer. idea was that no matter what i drove across it there would always be a i-beam right below the wheels.
