1 down 2 to go!

Oliver's Eagle Project! Going down in the record books!

This is where it all started...Oliver needed an Eagle project , back in August of 2010 we discussed many options.  Then we were moving into September and October, something needed to be picked.  Our stake just did a lot of work for the schools in our neighborhoods, so I suggested Oliver check else were, maybe starting with Chief Joseph...Well that is where it ended.  There was a lot of work that need to be done.

The flower boxes needed cleaned out and replanted, and the paviers needed to be pulled out, leveled and replaced.

Originally Oliver was going to paint a large map of the US, but the PTO, and principal said the kids really needed more 4 square courts.  So that is what was done! (and yes I went to a PTO meeting) Becky I appreciate what you do a lot more now.  I always thought PTO's job was to think up things to cause me misery,  BOY WAS I WRONG!!!  PTO is a vital key to the schools getting A BUNCH of stuff they normally would not get! They make school bearable!

The existing four square's that were needed numbered!

There were four stations like this around the track that needed the gravel cleaned out, and the boarder replaced.

Painting....well the weather forcast called for rain on Saturday (the day for all the work to get done) so Oliver, Braden, Paul, and myself went down and painted the numbers and 4 squared on Friday. However we couldn't have ask for better weather on Saturday! It was awesome!

 Big B Lawn and Landscape power washed the area's that needed to be painted! Thank you!

Thanks to Peasley Transfer & Storage for the paint stripier!

There are a lot of pictures of Oliver supervising, but he really did work along side us all!

Thank you Magic Man Brad for the use of his tiller. I know it wouldn't have gotten done with out it! It was a HUGE job brought down to something we could complete!
