      @Phil Jones No you cannot. You can say he grossed $180k in two weeks. But a LOT of that was eaten up by expenses. Insurance in case he fucked the job up, equipment and maintenence. And so forth. If he was lucky it was $90k in profit and even then he has to set aside most of that to cover the $50k in material for the next job.
      Also jobs are not guaranteed. He made that leftover $40k in two weeks but if he can't find another job for a month its only $40k for 6 weeks and although still VERY good, its not nearly as good as the $180k in 2 weeks that it may look like at first glance.

    Building A Bridge is one of my all time favorites. I only discovered your channel a few months ago, but I have binged a bit and seen most. This "episode" is so fully packed with amazing content, it boggles the mind. So much diverse and interesting hard work presented via FUN cinematic angles to see here. Top quality! This one is a re-watcher! Worth every second.
    And the movie-long length just makes me want more.
    Andrew, you are so unassuming and humble, down to Earth, yet confident and capable of meeting any level of challenge. You are an inspiration to many, including myself. At my 67 years of age, that is saying something, because I've been through a rough "rodeo" or two as well.

      Northern Farmer, not trying to be a jerk here, but if you really want to support Andrew, you might consider shutting off your ad blocker. Ad revenue is how CZcamsrs make money for their hard work...and I can say for certain, it isn't as much as he deserves...whatever it is!!! I always make a point to watch the ads on CZcams channels I want to support. If I don't care, I skip them, but if the content is good, I try to leave a positive note and/or a thumbs up....if the content sucks, I don't leave anything negative or thumbs down - this is totally unproductive. If we all did this, the awesome channels would grow faster, and the crappy ones would dry up.
      Again, not trying to be a jerk, just not sure if you're really up to speed on how all this works. I know from experience, with my much smaller channel, Andrew works really hard to film all this stuff, and I for one, LOVE watching it! Just my two cents worth.

    I never would have thought I would be spellbound throughout an entire bridge build. I really enjoyed seeing how you take the equipment to its limits, like when unloading the lumber. I was also impressed when you were loading the logs and you manipulated the angle on the largest one to get it onto the trailer. Seeing how you placed the boulders for sides of the ramp to the abutments was cool too. Dang man, I just liked the whole thing.

    Great job. I’ve been building bridges for 20 years. The only thing I’d add is some wing walls for each corner. The creek will rise and erode behind that back walls. Because of where the bridge is placed right at the bend in the upstream. When it rises so it will hit the exposed corner hard. Maybe just 2 wing walls in the upstream side.

    Highly recommend you put running boards (about 18"-24" wide) where each tire goes. Your 4Xs will last a lot longer and not move around so much when you cross your bridge. Also, put plenty of used motor oil/transmission fluid on your exposed boards. It works better than water seal.

    I'd like to add my 2 cents from my bridge building experience. We weld a steal plate on the upstream side at a 45 degree angle to force any floating logs to go under the bridge. Not sure if that stream has that kimd of flow but we do around here. Second point is we put flat 2x16 boards down over where the vehicles tires travel. It helps distribute the load more even on the oak timbers. Overall I love the bridge build. Thank you Andrew.

      In your experience with building bridges, did you ever see one side of the I-Beam left unconnected, or as Andrew said, floating?
      As a Civil Engineer, in my design experience, we'd use elastomeric expansion bearings to allow for movement. I understand that this is a very small bridge, but with a 100 year flood event, or even a 50yr event, this bridge will not survive.

A plain box van grossing 40k will cost $10000 a year there’s 40000 running around every day. Low risk, low boys gross 40 tons without special permits, except over width/height/length

    As I recall my school geography all those boulders you keep finding on site are glacial "erratics", tumbled down from the north during the advance and retreat of the glaciers north of New York City. That was followed by massive draining of Lake Iriquois (Now Ontario) rolling yet more rocks and sand down the Hudson Valley. Which you now make very good use of. Remember to thank the Ice Giants.

      no way buddy. andrew is a really good operating his machines and a good problem solver (for what we can see). but this work imo is amateur stuff.. lincoln once said: "if someone gives me 4 hours to cut a tree i''ll spend 3 preparing my axe".
      if you have to build a bridge like this, first you put the steel diagonal from a side to the other, then you pour the concrete, then you lift the steel and make measures, then you cut and install, you make the ramps so machine are at the height of the bridge, then you move the logs (this way they wont fall and ruin the bridge (32:54)... these guys put the concrete with 3 persons working like hell when they have all the equipment.. they made concrete before thinking of a way to lift the steel.. sliding on the newly made concrete.. rolling it down.. ruining it ( 25:54 ).. taking measurment to cut the steel really gross.. romans knew that the base of a puor needs to be thicker than the high part, look at 32:17, 10 years it'll crack..
      anyway it's happy to see stuff built, so.. good for him

There's no need to fasten the boards to the steel beams, they aren't going to move upwards or sideways in any direction.
