Reference Materials
1) Overall dimension diagram
2) Bench dimension diagram
3) Concrete form diagram
4) Landscaping diagram
Preparation Day
Cutting the Lumber
Summary
The 2x6 lumber will be cut to the correct dimensions for the forms.
Helpers Required
One adult helper
Tools Required
Safety glasses, miter saw, carpenter pencil, tape measure
Materials Required
2x6 lumber
Process
Using the concrete form diagram, the adult helper will measure and mark each length of
lumber to be cut. After making each individual mark on the lumber, the helper will wear safety
glasses and, using a miter saw, will cut the board at that mark. He will continue this process
until he has made four boards of both lengths of twenty-seven and forty-eight inches.
Day 1
Removing mulch and excess dirt (debris)
Summary
The day will begin by removing all existing mulch from the area surrounding the columbarium.

Final Project Plan 2/10
Helpers Required
Seven: three to rake debris into piles; three to shovel debris; one to empty wheelbarrows and
measure progress
Tools Required
Work gloves, garden rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows, tape measure
Process
A group of helpers will wear work gloves while using garden rakes to move all existing mulch
into piles. Another group of helpers will wear work gloves while shovelling the piles of debris
into nearby wheelbarrows. One other helper will maneuver wheelbarrows near the piles that
the first group of helpers will have made. When each wheelbarrow approaches full capacity,
the helper will maneuver it to the dirt pile just south of the columbarium. There he will dump
the contents of the wheelbarrow and then maneuver the wheelbarrow back near the work site.
Periodically, this helper will measure the vertical distance between the sidewalk and the
surface of the debris being removed until the distance between the two is two inches. This
process will continue until all three sections are excavated to a two-inch depth.
Measuring the Location of the Forms
Summary
Using the bench dimension diagram, two helpers will work cooperatively to measure the
location of each corner of the to-be concrete footer. At each of these points, another helper
will put a stake in the ground.
Helpers Required
Three
Tools Required
2 Tape measures, sledge hammer, utility knife
Materials Required
8 stakes
Process
Beginning at the origin where the two sidewalks meet of each of the two areas, one helper
will measure the horizontal distance from the sidewalk to each point while another helper does

the same in the vertical direction. A third helper will pound a stake to a depth of six inches at
the intersection of the two measurements.
Excavating
Summary
The two staked-out areas will be dug out so that the concrete forms can be laid.
Helpers Required
Tools Required
Work gloves, shovels, wheelbarrows, tape measure
Process
A group of helpers will wear work gloves and shovels and will excavate the staked areas to a
depth of eight inches below the level of the nearby sidewalk and to a width of approximately
two inches beyond the stakes on all sides. The dirt they dig out will be placed in wheelbarrows
adjacent to the two areas. When a wheelbarrow becomes full, one helper will maneuver it to
the dirt pile just south of the columbarium. There he will dump the contents of the
wheelbarrow. Digging and dumping will continue until the areas have been excavated to the
proper dimensions. Periodically, one helper will use a tape measure to evaluate the progress.
Attaching the stakes
Summary
Stakes to secure the forms in the ground will now be attached to the forms.
Tools Required
Safety glasses, cordless drill, deck screws, tape measure, carpenter pencil
Materials Required
2x4
Process
The first step is to screw the stakes to the form boards. Each forty-eight-inch board will have
two stakes one at and level with each end of each board. The twenty-seven inch boards will
have one stake affixed at the center of the board. The stakes will be attached to the form
boards so that the top of the stakes are level with the top of the form boards. Two screws will
attach the stakes to the boards; they will be screwed on the vertical centerline of the stake

Final Project Plan 4/10
one one-inch from the top of the stake and the board, and the other one-inch from the bottom
of the board. The helpers will measure and mark the vertical centerlines of each stake and mark
the two locations on each stake that a screw is to be inserted. The boards will be laid upon the
ground so that the surface of the five-and-a-half-inch part of the board is parallel to the ground,
as they will become more stable for drilling in this position. Helpers will wear safety glasses and
acquire cordless drills as they position the stakes and ready their screws. They will then fasten
screws to the form boards on each marked location on the stakes until all the stakes have been
securely fastened.
Setting the forms
Summary
Now that each forms corners are marked and the areas have been dug out, the forms are
ready to be assembled.
Tools Required
Safety glasses, cordless drill, deck screws, tape measure, carpenter pencil, level, hammer,
sledge hammer, spray paint
Process
The stakes that were placed earlier represent the four corners of each of the two forms. One
helper will now pull the four stakes, one at a time. Now, the four forty-eight-inch boards will be
set; both of each boards stakes will be set into the locations now void of a stake. These boards
should be adjusted as needed so that the length from each board inside-to-inside is exactly
eighteen inches and the ends of the boards are exactly parallel. The twenty-seven-inch boards
will now be installed so that each of their ends is flush with the outside of each adjacent,
perpendicular forty-eight-inch board. A combination of a sledgehammer and a hammer will be
used to pound the boards into the ground until they are flush with the adjacent sidewalk. The
flushness of the forms will be periodically tested by placing one end of a 2x4 on the sidewalk
and the other end across the form; then, a level will be placed in the middle of the 2x4 so that
the longest part of the level is parallel with the board.
Finally, each form will be screwed together. Starting at each twenty-seven-inch board,
two screws will be sunk into each perpendicular intersection of a long and short board so that
-

the first screw is approximately one inch below the top of the board, the second screw is one
inch from the bottom of the board, and the two screws fall on the same vertical line. A tape
measure and carpenter pencil, respectively, will be used to measure and mark these locations.
Helpers will wear safety glasses acquire cordless drills before they begin to sink the screws.
Preparing the forms
Summary
The forms are now secure in the ground and flush with the nearby sidewalk. It is now time to
begin preparing the forms and the base.
Tools Required
Tamper
Materials Required
Gravel
Supplies Required
Rag, vegetable oil
Process
The inside of the forms will be oiled so that the concrete will easily separate from the lumber
when the time comes to remove the forms after the concrete has cured. A rag will be lightly
dampened with vegetable oil and then rubbed along every inside surface of the forms until
thoroughly coated.
To create a solid base for the concrete, gravel will be poured to a depth of four inches and then
compacted to a depth of three inches using a tamper. To compact the gravel, one helper will go
back and forth along the surface of the gravel and will exert a downward force from the tamper
onto the surface of the gravel. A tape measure will be used to confirm the progress of the
compaction.
Unloading the concrete
Summary
The concrete will be donated by Ozinga, so well need to unload it from the truck into
wheelbarrows.
Tools Required
-

Final Project Plan 6/10
Wheelbarrows
Process
Two commercial grade wheelbarrows will be maneuvered to the parking lot. The Ozinga
delivery man will pour the concrete into the wheelbarrows, and then they will be maneuvered
back to the area surrounding the columbarium.
Pouring and finishing the concrete
Summary
The base has been prepared, so the concrete is ready to be poured.
Tools Required
Shovel, hoe, float, edger, trowel, brush
Materials Required
Concrete, 2x4 - screed board
Process
The concrete will be poured from the wheelbarrows and into the forms until they are
approximately three-quarters full. From there, the concrete will be shoveled in by hand. A
shovel or a hoe will be used to distribute the concrete evenly throughout the form, especially in
the corners and along the edges.
Once the form is full, the excess concrete will be struck off using a screed board. The
board will be placed across and perpendicular to the longest sides of the form. Two helpers will
hold the board firmly against the top surface of the form. They will maneuver the board in a
back-and-forth motion. This process will be repeated until the entire surface of the concrete is
level.
Next, helpers will use a wooden float to smoothen the surface of the concrete. The
leading edge of the tool is held up at a slight angle while it is swung in a circular direction.
Floating will continue in this manner until the surface is fairly smooth and rocks and tool marks
are no longer visible. The concrete will now be cut away from the forms using an edging tool.
Helpers will run the tool along the sides of the form to compact the concrete away from them.

The concrete must now sit and wait while the surface moisture evaporates. Depending
upon the weather conditions and the moisture level of the mix, the setting time can vary from
thirty minutes to three hours.
Finally, a trowel tool will be used to polish the surface of the concrete. Using the same
form and motion as the float tool, the helpers will work back and forth across the surface of the
concrete until the surface is smooth and dense. To finish up, the concrete must again be cut
away from the edges of the forms.
Cleaning up
The wheelbarrows will be filled with water. A rag will be used to wash off concrete that has
begun to stick to the wheelbarrows and tools. The water will be dumped in the water retention
ravine. Tools, supplies, and any garbage will be collected and brought back to the truck.
Day 2
Removing the forms and backfilling
Summary
The concrete has cured over night, so the forms can now be removed and the dirt can be
backfilled against the footer.
Tools Required
Safety glasses, cordless drill, wheelbarrows, shovels, work gloves, garden rakes, hammer
Process
Helpers will put the cordless drills in the reverse direction to remove all the screws fastening
the form boards together. They will then gently pry each individual form board away from the
concrete and out of the ground until they have all been removed.
Helpers will wear work gloves, locate their shovels, and maneuver the wheelbarrows to
the dirt pile just south of the columbarium. They will shovel dirt into the wheelbarrow until it
approaches full capacity. They will then maneuver the wheelbarrow to a position adjacent to
the forms and then carefully dump the contents into the excavated area surrounding the
concrete forms. They will then use shovels and garden rakes to spread the dirt. This process will
-

Final Project Plan 8/10
be repeated until the entire excavated area is level with the existing, surrounding dirt. The
removed forms will be carried back to the truck for disposal.
Assembling the benches
Summary
The concrete footers are ready, so the benches are ready to be placed and assembled.
Tools Required
Caulk gun, dolly, tape measure, utility knife
Materials Required
Concrete adhesive
Supplies Required
Two blankets, duct tape, nylon string
Process
After being informed of the potential safety hazard of transporting the granite benches, older
Scouts and adults will carefully lower the granite bench pieces from the truck onto a blanketed
dolly. One helper will wheel the dolly from the parking lot to the sidewalk adjacent to the
columbarium. Other adults and older scouts will lift the pieces and place them on the concrete
footers. Both sets of legs will be placed, centered on the footer, and measured to a distance of
twenty inches between the insides of the legs.
The two slabs will be unloaded last from the truck and will be placed on a blanket laying
on the grass near the columbarium. Refer to the bench assembly diagram for this proceeding
step. To assemble the benches as evenly as possible, two pieces of nylon string will be taped
across the shorter distance of the top of the bench slab, each five inches from the edge of the
slab. This will be done again but across the longer distance, and each will be measured away
from the edge two inches.
Next, the adhesive will be applied to the tops and bottoms of the bench legs. The
concrete adhesive tubes end will be opened with a utility knife. The tube will be placed in the
caulk gun. The adhesive will be applied with a back-and-forth motion across the surface of each
bench leg.

Finally, adults and older scouts will lift the bench slabs up to the legs, align the guide
strings with the outsides of the legs, and place the slabs upon them. They will then press
against the tops of the slabs to spread the adhesive.
Planting
Summary
The benches have been placed and assembled. Now its on to landscaping.
Tools Required
Shovels, work gloves, garden rakes
Materials Required
bushes, spray paint
Process
Using the planting diagram as a guide, a helper will spray paint the locations where the bushes
will be placed. Helpers will wear work gloves as they dig the holes to the appropriate
dimensions specified by each plants instructions. The soil dug out will be placed adjacent to
each hole to be used as backfill once the bushes are placed. The bushes will be removed from
their packaging, placed in their respective holes, backfilled, and then compacted into the soil
with the helpers feet. This process will continue until all bushes are in the ground. Finally, a
garden rake will be used to level the surface of the ground.
Laying the fabric
Summary
The bushes are placed, and the ground has been prepared, so its time to lay the fabric.
Tools Required
Utility knives
Materials Required
Landscaping fabric, garden staples
Process
Using a utility knife, the landscaping fabric will be removed from its packaging. One helper will
hold the roll, while another holds the other side. It will be unraveled to the length of the area
and then will be cut to fit its shape. Each length will overlap the previous by three inches until
-

10/10
Final Project Plan 10/10
all dirt has been covered. One slit will be made in the fabric for every plant so that the fabric
will encompass the plant at ground level. Beginning at the outside corners of each of the areas,
stakes will be inserted into the fabric and the ground every ten feet. They will also be placed
every ten feet on the overlaps.
Spreading the rock
Summary
The fabric is installed, so the surface is ready for the river rock. The rock will have been dumped
in the parking lot, so it must be retrieved by wheelbarrow.
Tools Required
Work gloves, shovels, wheelbarrows, garden rakes
Materials Required
River rock
Process
Helpers will wear work gloves, grab shovels, and maneuver the wheelbarrows to the parking
lot. Theyll shovel up the river rock into the wheelbarrows until they have reached full capacity.
They will then maneuver them back to the area surrounding the columbarium and dump the
contents onto the landscaping fabric. As they return to refill the wheelbarrows, another group
of helpers will wear work gloves and acquire garden rakes to spread the rocks so that they are
approximately an inch above the surface of the adjacent sidewalk. This process will continue
until all the rock has been used and the surface of the rock in all areas is level with the adjacent
sidewalk.
Cleaning up
The hose will be used to spray off the parking lot of all rock dust and to thoroughly soak all
planted bushes. Extra gravel will be disposed of in the dirt pile south of the columbarium. Tools,
supplies, and any garbage will be collected and brought back to the truck.
