The sign that was built by Wil Douglas is up and looks great! Thank you, to Rob Beckwith of Boise along with Larry Lewis and Logan Manley of Meridian Home Depot!
These guys dug the holes for the sign down two feet in Kuna top soil (otherwise known as rock). The ends were placed in concrete, and wind tested immediately by forty five mile per hour gusts! The next day it was still here!
All of the materials for the sign were donated by the Meridian Home Depot, and the sign was built by Wil in about two days. It ended up weighing about four hundred pounds and had to be lifted out of the trailer by five people. Being bulky and heavy made one brave volunteer (Rob) the lucky person to get under the sign while lifting to steady it out of the trailer. Ever see a trailer go down the road all by itself? That is exactly what happened when all of the weight from both sign and Rob got to the end of the flat bed! You should have seen the look on his face during that maneuver!
Luckily, no harm was done to Rob and we all got a wake up call on chocking trailer wheels.
