The Sandboxes Project

I'm scheduled to build and install the sandboxes on Saturday January 22nd 2011. Here are some pictures of the site at Harelson Elementary School that we'll be installing the sandboxes. The boxes will measure 16 feet long by 6 feet wide and will be 1 foot high. They will have about 6 inches of sand in them. They will be built out of redwood with 2"x6" boards as the sides and 4"x4" pieces as the posts. There will be 2 foot benches on each corner.

I'm working on getting donations from the school community, family, friends, neighbors and local businesses. The donations will all go towards the Sandbox Project not the Boy Scouts. If there are funds remaining after the project is complete they will be donated to the special education program at Harelson Elementary School. My estimate of the project's cost is $900. I'll be posting the fundraising progress each week. Thanks for considering helping me with my Eagle Scout Service Project.

Here I am getting measurements at the site and talking over the project with the school principal.

Here I am drawing up the plan and figuring out the costs of the materials.

Here I'm reviewing the early plans with my scoutmaster and Eagle Project coordinator.
