The Bridge too far.....

Saturday night I showed up to paint, and was assigned a bridge facade. With no actual tools to do so, I was told to create a "precise bridge"....complete with curved cement bottom (like Venice) and wrought iron top. Made of 1 inch foam core insulation...I painted a grid, and got to work. It looked a mess, but made sense to me.

I am now almost done. Initially, my knees and back were really sore from painting, but I got to lay on the hard floor last night and really stretch out my back, and it was lots better. One of the Brothers on the build crew is a carpenter, and swears by his inversion table. He says hanging upside down pulls everything right, and relieves pain.

If I was not so worried about breaking the machine, collapsing into a pile of aluminum and inversion boots, I'd give it a try....

Thinking about taking a more radical approach to my diabetes treatment.....more later.
