Lincoln's Eagle project was quite the ordeal. The project benefited an organization called "The Place" that helps people who are homeless as well as just struggling. They asked Lincoln to build a fence around their dumpsters to make the area look better. It really was quite a mess. Lincoln had to do a lot of fundraising because it was quite expensive as well. By the end of the project they ended up working 200+ hours. It looks so nice!
We had some awesome people come and help us.
The Newmans are the best family! They were there for almost the whole project. The first day it went until around 10:00 and they stayed to help.
It's such a mess! The boys were all pretty excited to use this drill thing.
McKay was the resident painter. He got good at it.
All of the boys worked so hard!
The Elders helped a lot too. Elder "Q" figured out a creative way to get the tops of the fence.
Mixing up the cement.
The drill machine didn't work that well to get through the asphalt. Ryan Newman and Elder Putnam used the pick axes to make the initial hole.
It was pretty cold and of course the boys wearing shorts...
Josh and Lincoln went back the next week to finish up the gate and stain it. Lincoln wore his good shoes so Josh made him remove them...They found an old pool in the garbage to use to hold the stain.
Looks so good! we are so glad to be done with these Eagle projects!
