Eagle Scout Project

John Zauche’s Eagle Project

What: Restoring a transitional housing unit for the Crossroads Mission consisting of a 1 Bedroom Apartment and a Basement/Laundry Facility

In the 1 Bedroom Apartment, we will be removing the carpet and vinyl, cleaning the windows, cleaning and painting the walls canary yellow, painting the ceilings white, removing the air conditioner out of the apartment (for Crossroads Mission to dispose of), cleaning the stove, cleaning the bathroom fixtures, wire brushing and sanding the metal cabinets, coating the metal cabinets with Rustoleum.

In the apartment's basement, we will be sweeping and mopping the floors, moving cabinets, and cleaning the coin-operated washer and dryer.

Where: Crossroads Mission at 1006 Second Street SW. Cedar Rapids.

Due to the relatively constricted conditions in the apartment, we can only have a limited number of people working at a time. Below are shifts we’ll be working, as well as the number of scouts/helpers needed.

• 9-11:30 (7 Scouts)
• 11:30-12pm (Lunch Provided)

What to Bring: The mission is providing the supplies, but we still need 3 box fans and 5 6ft step ladders (please let me know if you are able to bring these and I will let you know if they’re still needed)

*Wear clothing that you wouldn’t mind getting paint on*
