It Took This Married Couple 14 Years. But What They Built In Their Backyard Is Incredible.
Lots of married couples have mutual hobbies. When husbands and wives work on projects together, it brings them closer in their marriage. This Reddit user”s parents, however, decided to take on a project that would both bring them closer together and intimidate even the bravest of carpenters.
It all started with their dream to own a boat when they retire. And not just any boat, but a massive 45″ aluminum sailboat. So they built it over a 14 year period in their backyard. They never gave up.
This is the process from start to finish. It”s a long process, but totally worth it for the end.
