    Looks like a fun evening! Never thought I would see a popsicle stick bridge support over 2000 pounds. Congrats to young Caleb on building a bridge that supported twice as much weight as last year. Next year he'll build an even better bridge! Have a good day my Friend.

    Another good community event. Congrats to everyone. Frank should have entered himself in the beautiful bridge class because he’s a beautiful person that bridges the gap between the younger and older generations 😊

    Micah,
    I went to the website but couldn't find information on the bridge building contest. Am I missing something?
    Who knows, we may want to venture out your way at some point. 😁

    Hey Micah if I have a bridge kit shipped to me can I build it and send it to you to represent me if I can't make it to the computation. Or do you have to be there in person to enter. Also I was a watch one of your other videos where Matt was doing school work, if you don't mind me asking what home school program do you use. I've been thinking about homeschooling my youngest. He's 5 now.

    • @McGieHomesteadAdventures
      @McGieHomesteadAdventures  Год назад

      I’m not sure about the bridge question but I can ask!
      The homestead curriculum is Christian Light Education……… feel free to look into it! It’s wonderful and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND homeschooling!

    YOU GOT SCREWED! Bent bar, means it wasn't coming down squarely, it was acting like a paper cutter! That sucks :( The guy running the press built his exactly to the press, which is suspicious... like he did 10 attempts before this or something...

      He has a home court advantage of course, however he’s been perfecting this exact bridge design for several years and always beats me🤣🤣🤣
