Photos and project updates

7/21/24 - 7/23/24

I have acquired all of the wood! The majority came from A.D. Moyer Lumber. A few pieces had to be purchased from Home Depot, as Moyer Lumber did not have non-pressure treated deck boards. 

The past few days, I have been cutting the lumber from the professional plans that I have purchased. Both of my parents and my friend Ryan across the street have been extremely helpful. I look forward to the next steps in sanding and painting it to make it feel like it is actually coming together to make a train feature! 

On 6/29/24 I held a successful clothing drive that earned $675 toward completing my Eagle Project. Although it was short of my ideal goal of $1,000, it is still a great amount toward completing the train feature. That will be the first phase of the project to start. Photos of that phase and more info will follow. 

I am grateful to everyone who helped directly, dropped off clothing, or simply helped spread the word. 

It feels like this is a LONG time in the making, but here we are with my first fundraiser to kick-off my Eagle Scout Project. I am hopeful that this clothing drive will provide the funds needed to start the train feature early this summer. I have had so much support from our entire community on this that I am hopeful it will earn $1,000 toward starting this project. 

I really have so many people who helped me with this - Dryland UCC, fellow scout families, neighbors, local schools, and the entire community!! I am so thankful!!!
