kathi17 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 His daughter asked for a dollhouse when she was five. 35 years later, he finished it, and it's incredible! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2607688/Doting-father-finally-finishes-building-INCREDIBLE-dolls-house-complete-electric-lights-ipod-powered-music-room-little-girl-grown-took-35-years.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His daughter and grandchildren will have something to really treasure for years after he is gone! 1 hour ago, chapchap73 said: Thanks for sharing, it's wonderful! I wonder if he will ever build another one Since he was 69 when he finished it, that would make him 104 in 35 years!!! 35 years goes by so fast, but when you think that he was only 34 when he started it, that dollhouse took him through an awfully big part of his life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think they implied that he really didn't spend much time on it until he retired. Probably sat with a tarp over it for a few years. Once he retired it became his full time job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashlie Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I had to laugh that it took four men to carry it and the father was standing in the back telling them what to do! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
