He did it! As of August 20, 2015, Michael is officially and Eagle Scout!
I always knew he would be... he set a goal to become an Eagle Scout when he was 7. And when Michael sets his mind to something, there's no stopping him.
He designed and built a table for the special ed class at our middle school. They needed something that could accommodate wheel chairs, and also provide good back stability, but without having to slide all the way down the bench. We also wanted to make it very sturdy (can't have it blowing away in the Kansas winds!), and wanted it to be low maintenance, so no wood that they'd have to paint or stain. That left us to make it out of steel and some cool wood-looking material that's not wood. lol. I don't remember the name of it. I just remember it was expensive.
It turned out AWESOME! And the teacher and school love it. We're so proud of Michael's accomplishment! And proud of his table! We ran into a TON of road blocks along the way. It was more challenging and took WAY more time than we ever anticipated. But he did it and it's DONE!
Elizabeth and Caleb helped for awhile, but eventually gave up. They took all the tools and made their own "project."
Way to go Michael! We're so proud of you!
And here it is, the finished table!
The kids tried it out and approve.
