The Problem

Our community church was distroyed durning Hurricane Ike. It took almost 3 years to restore the premises. My project was to clean, scrap and restrip the churches parking lot to provide a welcoming asthetic to the community. This was also my Eagle Project.

Plan of Action

I inlisted the local fire department to come in and power wash the parking lot with their equipment. Then I finished scrapping and cleaning the parking lot to assure a good bond of paint to cement. I think restripped and painted new signage for the fire lanes and Handi cap parking. On the day of the churches rededication the communitee first veiw of their new church was of the parking lot, everyone said that it just made them feel welcome...like the icing on the cake. It is amazing how much you appreciate when you have lost it all.
