Eagle Project, completion


Fearless leader checking out the leveling job.  Any wheelchair that can get to the amphitheater should be able to get on the deck.



Not having a broom Benjamin and Ethan tried removing the dust and debris from the beautiful deck with paper towels and paint brushes.




Have you noticed that Bishop - the good guy in the not quite white hat - wears a white shirt for service projects?  It's his service shirt with paint stains - badges of honor.


Doesn't it look nice with the river rocks along the bottom?  Also note that the safety rail is above the deck a little bit, so leaves and things don't get stuck on it.





Ron B founded the edge of the railing nicely.




Can you see how flush to the ground the deck is on the uphill side?  It isaccessible for wheelchairs.











After a long and productive day, many of Benjamin's workers head home.








Eagle Project, Part 5 F nearly there

The work went on all day with many willing hands.  They were amazing.


Getting ready to snap the chalk line.
















River rock from the old fire pit was put around the trail side of the deck.





Can you believe it?  My camera battery died.  But, thankfully, Teresa whipped out a camera or a camera phone, I don't recall which.  I shall post again!

Eagle Project, Part 5 I think E now, more Saturday afternoon

You probably think that I am posting every picture we took. NOT. Maybe most, but definitely not all. These guys worked a long time!


















Boy Scout style dish rack







Surprisingly with all the lengths of lumber being carried around, I don't think anyone got whacked in the head - or any other body part.









Carefully cutting holes for the posts.



Sanding the top rail.
