The Covered Bridge:
This covered bridge is one of three covered bridges in Giles county. The first was built in 1913, the second in 1916, and this one in 1919. In 2007, the bridge was nearly swept away after water levels rose to the height of the decking. One end of the supports was partially washed out, but the bridge held. Then, in 2012, the covering was nearly blown over in a wind storm. Thanks to a tractor and baler parked inside, the covering didn’t go over. However, on March 1, 2017, after severe storms swept through the area, the cover over the bridge went down. The main structure of the bridge remained intact, so fortunately it is still drivable. Since its demise, the farm has been missing something, so I plan to rebuild the cover. This will be done with the sawmill on farm. If possible, I would love to rebuild the cover with only wood harvested on site.
