Barron Fisher's Eagle Project - Part II (Sat, Oct 17)

Hey all. I just wanted to give a big thank you to all who helped me out on saturday. We could not have gotten where we are now without you. However, were not finished yet. There is still a lot of work to be done, so the next date I have scheduled to complete the project is Saturday,October 17th. We will be starting at 9:00am and be finishing up around lunchtime. A few supplies I will be needing are as follows: Power drills, hammers, tape measures, levels, and circular saws for cutting the wood if needed. Thanks, and I hope to see you there. Barron

Barron Fisher's Eagle Project - Oct 3rd

Note from Barron:

Hey all. I just wanted to give a few details about my eagle project so everyone knows when and where to show up, as well as what supplies to bring if you have them.

We will be starting at 9:00am and working to about 1:00pm or 2:00pm so i would suggest getting there early so it will be easier to get my plan squared away before we start. Here is the address. Just put it in mapquest as the end location and your address as the starting location-20634 Kenswick Drive,Humble, Texas 77338. It should give you the quickest route. I will be waiting at the very front of the park so just look for me.

A few supplies i will be needing are as follows: Circular saws for trimming up the wood if needed, power drills,stapleguns for the screening, hammers,clippers,other limb cutting equipment,extension cords and levels. A generator would also be nice to have. Also bring gloves and other safety equipment as we will be clearing brush before hand.We will be having a short lunch break at noon so bring a sack lunch. Thank you all and I hope to see you there.

P.S: sorry for somewhat of a short notice.I hope most of you can make it. Thanks again.

Matthew Breeding Eagle Project

Ok yall the project's been rescheduled for next saturday, the 26th. WE WILL NEED TOOLS so bring anything we could use (won't need hammers, we're using screws). Power tools would be nice, but for safety reasons you'll need to have eye protection (scouts will need adult supervision). Sorry about last time with the weather, ill try and keep you all better informed if it has to be cancelled again. We'll meet at the church at 8 in the morning. Here's the address of the church: 2930 Rayford Rd Spring, TX 77386-1740

Once again, anyone you know that needs hours or just wants to help, feel free to send them the details. There will be plenty of work to go around.

Thanks

Matthew Breeding Eagle Project (Sep 12)

Hey guys this is Matt

Just wanted to send out a reminder that we will be at Gateway Baptist Church this saturday at 8 o'clock to do my eagle project. We will be building around 400' of fence in the back lot there. The post holes will already be dug and the fence sections assembled, so we should be able to knock this out of the way pretty quickly. There's a lot of fence to be built, so feel free to forward this to anyone who might be able to help. There will definantly be enough jobs to go around. God bless, hope to see you all saturday morning!
