Sat through Broken Arrow Graduation the other day for a good turning friends brother and the class had 1056 graudates, Then had to go the next night to another graudation and it was 923, They need to build some more high schools and not just try to have one so they can have good football teams. Parking was terrible and had to walk several blocks to get in. The fire marshal finally stopped people from entering before the Broken Arrow one started because of building restrictions.
I thought my class was big in 1966 with around 600 in Kansas City area.
Imagine turning pens for one of these classes. By the way your pens were great good job. Lucky kids.

That is absolutely superb! Did you make all the furniture as well? The detail in the windows and trim and outside of house is fantastic. Your grand-daughter should cherish this forever and will probably keep it for her children someday. Also tell your wife that the paint job on the inside is excellent as well and really adds to the project. Great job!!

Thank you. No the furniture and windows came from Hobby Lobby. I made the outside to look like siding by cutting a 45 every 3/8 inch. The time it took to make the shingles, I could have roofed our house a couple of times.

Wow,Joe! Fantastic job on the house! I can only try to appreciate your patience with the siding!
The inside painting deserves a little more notice. Kudos to your wife! The inside touches really add to the house. She also has the artistic skill, patience clearly enhanced by a grandmother's love.

Joe, I'm really impressed! That's one good looking doll house. My wife is almost 30 and really hates the whole Barbie franchise but she has a degree of admiration for your work. This is stellar. Thanks for posting!

Sir you did do a wonderful job, I'm afraid to show those pictures to anyone just yet, as I would be busy for more than 4 months. Your wife did awesome on the interior as well!
