Me & Larry Mcpherson are happy to say that we pulled this of and finally got this project finalized . Larry and i have had this project in the works for well over a year . When Larry contacted me for the first time we talked it over on the phone about doing such a project .At the time he set out to see if he could hire me to do the build for there organization i told him i would get some prices on materials and labor to do the job i had thought it over after i had got prices on materials and i decided that i would donate my time and labor towards the cause if they supplied the materials beings there only a small group of people trying to keep the history alive of the pony express .This i also wanted to do because Ive always wanted to build something that is larger than life in size .This is now the largest silhouette to date that Ive ever built. It stands 10 ft tall x 12 ft long and weights approx. 1100 lbs. i told a few friends about what i was about to get involved with and everyone that i talked to got excited about it and wanted to be a part in it i thought it was amazing how much help we received . Special thanks to all that donated there time and efforts towards the cause List of the people who donated there time and efforts are myself Bill Muerle Decorative Iron Plus /Larry Mcpherson /Lyon County room tax board/ DIS Backhoe service Vuki Wilson/A-One window cleaning Steve goss/ Pauls paint shop / Capital City Concreate/Pay Geary Valley View Ranch/ Bill Miles Construction Phill Cowee land development / Please anyone who might have an up coming project please help support all that donated there time and efforts towards the cause this would be greatly appreciated Thank you all for participating Sincerely Bill Muerle
