Mull covered bridge, near my hometown, is getting new siding, a new roof and other improvements. I can't wait to see it when it is finished.

Glad to see places like this being restored for the enjoyment of generation to come. A fine image depicting the progress.

One won't recognize that old bridge any more. Nice to see that they are building a completely new one. Well composed view of the bridge Jimbob.

I'm glad they are restoring it to keep it going - covered bridges are so rare they need to be treasured.

I love being about to see the truss work without the sides on JimBob. It is great that it is being preserved because it is such a beautiful bridge. We will look forward to seeing the photos from You when it is finished.

It's great that they are taking extra steps to preserve the Mull Covered Bridge. While it may lose some it's seasoned wood; future generations will be able to enjoy her. Good one, Jimbob.

Interesting scene Jim and thanks for the link to the old image. It will be good to see the "new" bridge and I'm sure you'll show us when it is.

I like the before-and-after you've provided us, Jim. Even from this far away from the bridge it's easy to see how thick the original timbers were, the bridge being built well before the time when mills planed off the rough surfaces of boards the way we see them today (not to mention mention crooked and bowed at the big box home improvement stores!*@#$@**!).
