Surprises While Fixing a Covered Bridge

By Bluecollarworkman @TB_BlueCollar

Covered Bridge_2Recently I had to repair a covered bridge. In the pictures, you can see that it’s the bright, new wood that I put up.

Part of the work was replacing these 6×6 beams on the corners of the bridge. They’re called trim boards and are there to make the bridge look nice. I also fixed the structural integrity of the covered bridge. So now it’s back to being a place for people to take pretty pictures after their weddings and other “photo ops” that people get in to.

The weird thing that happened though when I was repairing the bridge, was this…

I was outside the bridge cutting wood on this table that I had set up. I had my radio on and the generator was going on loud. It was obvious that someone was working on the bridge — I was being loud!

I turn to walk into the bridge and there’s this woman in there peeing. It was crazy. I get that women can pee outdoors, too. Men do it, woman can too, it’s all good. But, for real? Couldn’t she hear the saw and radio and generator? It’s pretty obvious that someone was working there! She had to pee right there? Right where I’m working?

I looked at her and said, “Hello? Working over here!”

And she said, “Oh, sorry,” pulled up her drawers, and walked off like it never happened.
