Hadn't thought about explaining our Eagle Projects.

I built a touchpad holder for my High School swim team. The old one allowed the pads to fall off if not put on in an exact way. I drew an isometric of my design by hand and, a full set of construction drawings, before commencing work.

So what did you do for your project @TacoFMS ?

 

Earned mine in 2006. 2 palms and a lot of camping trips

 

Cleaned up the graveyard for the church that sponsored our troop. (Also the church I attended) did a bunch of research to find out not only all the people buried there (only 13 headstones but over 90 were buried there) had a sign made and put it up to list the names of all buried there. also found out true property lines to find out an adjacent landowner had "claimed" a large chunk of the graveyard by putting his fence through almost the centerline. Was able to help the church reclaim their property.

Physical labor was only about about 30 to 35 hrs but had a little bit over 1000 hrs logged in the research and discovery part of it as Noone had been buried out there in around 40 years bc the church thought they were out of land.
