Damon's Eagle Project

Damon, Todd, Brad and Paul made a very special shopping trip to Home Depot yesterday.  Damon is ready to complete his Eagle Scout project.  Along with some help and advice from his parents, ward scout leaders and with the support of his Grandfather Frank he will be completing a project at the Elwood Town Cemetery.  He and his father and grandpa met with the city council at the last town council meeting and presented his idea for the project.  He had researched it very well.  Had a great design planned and a full expense report for the mayor and councilmen.  He would like to build a protected case for the cemetery to show the grave plots where the deceased are buried.  This will enable people who visit the cemetery to find who they are looking for much easier.  The council approved the project and gave him an allowance of $450.00.  This is a bit over the amount that he had requested if they approved. 

So the trip to Home Depot was to purchase the needed supplies.  They then came to the big workshop shed when they returned home and began the work.  Uncle Paul has generously told them that they can use his building equipment.  I am sorry for not having any pictures  - will try to get some as the work goes on.

Today Todd came to work for awhile - Damon will be coming after school to do some more work.  Brad is also a great help.  He is looking forward to this being placed at the cemetery.
