John Overing’s Eagle Project – Click for Details

Hi, I’m John Overing, a Sophomore at Loyola High School. My Eagle Project is a renovation for an outdoor amphitheater at Mater Dolorosa Retreat Center in Sierra Madre. The current outdoor amphitheater, which seats about 120, has wooden benches which require new paint and maintenance every few years. Mater Dolorosa would like to remove maintenance costs with wood-alternative Trex boards.

The project will involve placing waterproofing materials over the current wooden benches, cutting Trex boards down to appropriate sizes, and screwing the Trex boards in on top of the existing wooden boards. If we have any uneven benches, we will also be caulking along the undersides of some boards.

The project will take place from 9-4 on July 19th and 20th. Any and all help is appreciated. LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED.

Thanks for the help and support,
John Overing
