New Swingset

Ordered the new swingset today! Because it has to ship from a warehouse somewhere, it will take several weeks to ship to Nashville. The Church approved the area where I want to place the swingset. Now I need to decide on border and base materials and get the concrete to install the swings when they come in. Praying that God helps me get the things I need to build this church what it needs!

Demolition Days

The past few days, we have been clearing out the old playground equipment in preparation for the new. This involved pulling the swing sets up and sledge hammering the concrete below. We had to haul all the old wood off and clear the area for the new sandbox and swing sets. The church is going to let me know by the end of the week where their preference for the exact location of the swing sets to be placed. Spent today marking off potential areas where we might install the playground. Still haven't decided on an exact model for the swing set, but I am going to make that decision in the next week or so.  Here are some pictures of the work I have been doing.

Before Pictures

Here are some pictures of the area before I start my deconstruction of the old equipment.  As you can see, the bleachers are in bad repair and some haven't been replaced in years.  They are broken, warped, and even rotten.  The old swingsets have not been used in years due to their current condition.  They present a hazard to anyone trying to have some fun on them.  The sandbox is old and nearly rotten, providing no place for a child to play. 

Project Approved!

Eagle Scout Project is approved and ready to go! I'm planning on installing some new swingsets and new bleachers for a park down at Neely's Bend Baptist Church.  Fundraising for this project is underway!  If you would like to help out in any way, please contact me, because I need all the assistance possible and will be very thankful for what help I can get! Praying that God's will be done through this project and that I may help grow His church and give Him the glory!
