In the market for a house?

If you buy this one, you'll be helping out some folks at an area Nursing Home.

Debbie Kuehn tells it's all because of this week's Someone You Should Know...

For sale on bids: Charming three story Victorian-style home to be moved. Features wood floors and wrap around porch. Buyer assumes all moving fees. Minimum bid is $100- Would make great first home for favorite doll or stuffed animal.... Whoa now, what's that?!

Yes, this gorgeous home is maybe three feet high at the most. It's a doll house 88-year-old Lynn Helming put together to help raise money for Mohall's Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Mohall. The Good Samaritan is hoping to put the money toward the purchase of a new van...

Lynn-

Lynn is no stranger to manufacturing mini masterpieces.... His hobby is buildling toy airplanes.... and he once built a replica of Lansford.... the community he grew up in and farmed near all of his life before moving here to the nursing home in Mohall. So, when some of the employees here asked Lynn if he would help them with this project, he was happy to do so.

Lynn-

It takes a steady hand and an even steadier temperament to complete a project like this one...

Lynn- pointing to little pieces on porch...

But even with all of those puny porch pieces...

Lynn- how many shingles...

Or other intricate itsy-bitsy items... Lynn was still able to finish the house in only a couple of weeks...

Lynn-

HE may not be impressed by the outcome...

Lynn-

but honestly, who are you going to listen to? A humble 88-year-old farmer turned kid carpenter....

Or a little girl in the market for a tidy place for her dolls.
