A bridge in a week . . . in photos! Part 2

This tree is in the way . . . it's gotta go . . .


Attempting to persuade the tree to fall in the right direction . . . 


 . . . unsuccessfully. Sigh. Things don't always go your way.
Just a setback, though, not a disaster!

Employing the labor of the first of two visiting mission teams, the ground is cleared on both sides of the river and the digging begins!

These impressive trenches will have concrete poured directly into them,
to create the footers upon which the bridge will be built.

Meanwhile, in the river, rocks are collected to be used as part of the bridge structure . . .

 . . . lots and lots of rocks!

Wow! Those are some deep holes to dig! What a blessing your husband and his team have been to come along and build the bridge. Looks like back breaking work.

That's a lot of teamwork required. They look like they've done it before!

Nice captions. I'm glad you were able to serve the orphanage this way.

Glad to see that more help arrived. Allen and Russell can handle this after all of the bridges they have done.
