On the way we stopped by the World&#8217;s Smallest Police Station, there isn&#8217;t much to it, it was just a telephone, but somebody felt bad for them and built a box around it.<\/p>\n<p>The Bottle House was not what I expected. It was about 10 feet by 10 feet and had about a 15 foot roof where it was highest which was donated to him by a friend of his that was a retired roofer. Inside it had a cork coffee table, a cork desk, a lawn chair, some bottles on display, and a jar with a label that read, Donations.<\/p>\n<p>Then we looked around at the yard. There was a bottle lighthouse, a bottle bench, and about 7 square plates made of bottles formed a stack. In the yard there was also a 6 frequency icosahedron made of equilateral triangles. Leon was also working on a 2 frequency icosahedron inside of another, inside of another. Leon wanted to make it 6 frequency. He ended up learning from his mistakes though!<\/p>\n<p>Leon had 2 poodles Zach and Sophie. Zach was black and Sophie was white. Before Leon owned them they were rescue dogs. Zach was a very poorly treated dog and he wouldn&#8217;t look at anybody. It took Leon 6 months for Zach to get back to normal. Now that Zach is back to normal, he loves kids. Sophie on the other hand, was a top notch, $300, rescue dog. Sophie is really sweet and always follows Zach.<\/p>\n<p>From 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm, the lighthouse&#8217;s light is on, the bottle stack kept flashing lights, and the 6 frequency icosahedron was supposed to spin around and the lights would reflect off the stained glass. Leon had a few HUGE solar panels and a computer to program the pattern the lights on the bottle stack which was donated to him by a friend of his which was an electric engineer.<\/p>\n<p>Leon claimed he woke up to a cup of coffee one day and declared out loud, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to build a house made out of bottles so tourists know people live here!&#8221; and his wife said, &#8221; Alright.&#8221; &#8220;The next day when saw the cement mixer come up and lay the base to the bottle house she was astonished.&#8221; Leon claims. &#8221; It took a little over 1 year to build it, with some help of a couple friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mom thought it would be cool to see the bottle house.
