25 Year Build-Massive 1950s Backyard Town- Coolest Thing I've Ever Made- EP28
25 years ago, Debbie and Ronnie started building their 1950s town. Not only does it have 14 separate buildings, but each one of them is jammed packed with 1950s nostalgia. With little to no help, Ronnie built each of the building using mainly recycled and found material and his wife Debbie proceeded to paint them and fill them to the brim. From their working diner (with functioning soda machines) to the full size gas station, this has to be one of the most impressive backyard towns in the world. This is an exclusive first look at this incredible creation.

I hope none of the rocks came from the national forest, as it is illegal to remove rocks from national forest without permission. Also if it took 53 years, it couldn't have been 1/3 of his life, unless he lived to 160 years old.
Well if they get tired of dusting all of that and finally reach the end of collecting items they could sell this to Hollywood for movie set props. They could take the money and sail away on one of those around the world in a year cruises.
Uu
Astonishing news...I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE (JESUS). No one comes to the Father (GOD) except through Me. John 14:6 Are you afraid of dying? Jesus died for you. Believe and repent today!
There is a castle built in the same manor in Loveland ohio
I love when people do this stuff. Great imagination, discipline and A DREAM!!
SUPREME.📡🇺🇸👽
great job!
I love this so much. The details and dedication put into this. It’s amazing, love it .
Should have built and used a trebuchet.
Beautiful!
What kind of foundation must it take to support all that tonnage?
It looks so unsafe. :S
Unemployed friend on a Tuesday
Sure hope he hasn't actually used cement. Won't last long.
Whoa🫡 that's impressive
I think that people who do wonderful things like Micky, have a moral obligation to stay healthy and productive as long as they can. So Micky, get yourself in better shape and see a top anti-aging doctor. You may do something even cooler in your next 29 years.
Did you use any rebar in the construction?
SUCH a likable guy and he made my DREAM pool!!!!
Insane and Masterful architectural geniuses
Sounds like 2 men built it..not one
Cornbinders rule!
Its free to visit too! Just remember to sign the waiver.
Redneck engineering is so damn great
The amount of Meth consumed must be astronomical..
A mentally and physically beautiful thing to create!!! A very healthy and happy way to live.
Somebody is building a zombie apocalypse safe spot.
I love this castle!! It's a colorado landmark!!
It seems like it’s going to fall down. Why is that?
This man has been harassed by the government, he's been to jail for building in his own property with his own property. The dude is a boss, government is the tyrant
Way more affordable to operate than I’d have thought
Er hat ein eigenes Freibad im Garten :D geil
Please return the stolen rocks to their mommies and daddies… you silly communist
Is this one of the guys Palahniuk interviewed in Stranger Than Fiction?
Went to the top of this and it was so impressive and very very unstable haha
After 300+ yrs.. some archaeologists might wonder the construction technology used, compared against the Egyptian pyramids..
Meanwhile the colorado river lol
We have pools classified as lakes out here in the country. I think over a few acres are considered a lake
Beautiful .
You are both wonderful and very talented. Thank you so very much for the tour. I really enjoyed it.
It’s beautiful Can I come over and swim?
That's Amazing.....I want one
I live in Tennessee, I wish I could bring the kids to see this. how amazing!
Creepy
WOW!!!!! AMAZING LABOUR OF LOVE!!!!!
This castle is exhibit number one when it comes showcasing that you don’t need an engineer to draw up plans for thousands of dollars to build something .. it’s pretty easy to build a structure that isn’t gonna collapse on itself .. hell, 100 years ago you didn’t need any permits or engineer plans to build a structure on your property
I love this, you’re all in on your passion project!
plumbers make too much money
It‘ s magnificent!
When people ask "how were the pyramids built?" The people back then were probably cut from the same cloth as Jim.
