As things are progressing, I began thinking that there's too much "stonework" already, so I decided to set the "Eureka bridges" on pilings, instead of stone abutments. This is what I'll build.....there will be four sets. The distance from the waterline to the top of the bent is 8' ( scale ). The actual distance from the waterline to the bottom of each pile, is 1/4". I can drill through the 1/4" plywood "water", and glue "stops" on the underside, that way I don't have to worry about the depth of each hole. The bents will then be glued in, and the bridges set.
The piers may seem light, but it is, after all, a walk bridge, and won't be carrying that much weight.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
