The previous eagle project fell through. Will not be doing it at the Moulton building.

12/20/11 I am doing an Eagle Scout Project for the John Joesph Henry House in Nazareth PA

Here is where it is located http://maps.google.com/maps?q=402+Henry+Road,+Nazareth,+PA.+18064&hl=en&ll=40.775553,-75.28229&spn=0.011342,0.024698&sll=41.117935,-77.604698&sspn=5.387045,8.10791&hnear=402+Henry+Rd,+Nazareth,+Pennsylvania+18064&t=m&z=16

I have coordinated with Mrs. Brown to do an Eagle scout project for the Jacobsburg Historical Society that is in charge of the House. Here is their web sight [] I have agreed to make a picnic area for them. This entails making a Picnic ground: clear away weeds and debris, lay ground cloth out, and cover it all in mulch. I also am restoring a 2 picnic tables and 2 benches which entails sanding them, priming them, and painting them.

3/5/12 I went up to the House and saw the area, it is very weedy and pretty big about 50' by 50'

4/30/12 I have gotten the benches and I am in the process of sanding them. They are in worse condition than I thought they were. I have had to replace some slats and all the nuts and bolts.

5/1/12 I have bought spray primer and sprayed everything and they are drying in my back yard.

They parts are dry and I have put the first coat of paint on half of them.

5/2/12 The half is dry and I painted the other half. I scrapped off the pooled paint to make the paint job smooth.

6/20/12 For the big project I am using volunteers from my church to help me out. We are going up July 14-15. I have three families coming up for the night. We are camping there and working both days.

7/16/12 The first day we took care of the weeds in the picnic area, and we laid down the ground cloth. We also started sanding the table parts: they were also in very bad shape. The next day we moved the mulch from the back of the house to the front. It was about a 4th of a mile. We had to load the mulch into trucks and drive it around and unload it. That took a long time because there was so much. After that we focused on finishing the picnic tables. We had to put them together by looking of pictures of tables that were put together at a near by state park. After they were put together we had to prime them, and when the primer was dry we painted both of them. That was all the work we did that day.

10/13/12 The Historic society wanted a trash can installed, so I ordered this trash can and went up late in august and installed it with my dad. That was easy just dig a hole in the ground and place the pole for the trash can in and fill the hole with cement.
