The House I Grew Up In... Kind Of. Dragonman's House

Join me for a tour of the house I grew up in. Well kind of, my dad has made a few changes. See what Dragonman's lair looks like.

[@srvanddt1]

It seems like your dad is just filling the void of missing your mom. Spend as much time with him as you can. He is not getting any younger. Cheers to your dad!

[@paulbrungardt9823]

Well Said.

[@tylermallory2504]

so true, I lost my dad when I was 17. I'm 35 now and still would give just about anything to hear his voice one last time...

im sure even he thinks its hideous, but hes a man with money, enjoy it

[@fleatactical7390]

This man deserves his own museum. Or should I say, a bigger one than he already lives in.

[@barryhallsack8852]

That's crazy. I remember this house. Your mom gave me my first job I helped her cut grass so I was able to play paintball. Rest in peace Terry. You are awesome!

I literally would marry her not for her beauty or coolness but just to have that ol man as my father in law. An American Legend 🇺🇸🦅💯🔥

Nope just a lonely man… I feel bad for him

[@dumpsterbear2492]

“This window is where I snuck in all the boys…” Dragon Man goes into mini flashback, snaps out of it and moves on with the tour.

[@briggsquantum]

It was a quick flashback though. Not much of a tell. I wouldn't play poker with him - "I gotta full house"......."So do I!" BLAMMO!

[@bccev770]

I feel really sorry about what happened to your mum. You guys are so impressive.

[@AvaFlanell]

Thank you. My mom was such an amazing woman and really made us into the people we are today. My sister and I are blessed to have had such a great mom.

[@OGsDangerShow]

This is not breaking news. The gun owning world has known this for years.

[@joshuajackson5656]

I only found out a week ago. I either must be living under a rock or not keeping track of the trends in the firearm world.

Thanks for sharing Ava. When they made your Dad they broke the mold. But I have to go now so I can vote for you in the Gundies!

Thank you so much!!

Your dad is so proud and optimistic to share his world too and I love that American pride he has. Enjoy every moment. He is someone I could talk tor days about all the cool things he has collected!! :).

"I made it better!! "Can't wait to see the military stuff. Love it, this is great. So, so glad you all are healthy and happy Ava.

Met your mom and pops at the range when I first moved here to the Springs in 2011. Good people. Hope to see you, your sis and pops when I take my 2 daughters to the range soon because you guys remind me of us.

This is adorable! Thank you for sharing! 😀

[@caddilacjim]

lol your Dads whole house is a man cave that's awesome.Great video.

[@JabFreeMcGee]

As a man, I can understand why your dad has done what he has to basically completely remodel your childhood home from what it used to be. It’s (in my view) been his way of coping with the loss of your mom and it’s helped to keep him busy in his retirement years. He seems to be in great spirits and that is a wonderful sight to see for someone his age.

[@jtaylorb88]

I get it in some ways with your dad, losing your spouse early in order to fill up your day you start some crazy hobbies or they just take over you. That first year after my wife passed I built so many different AR's just to keep my mind off of the grief. Too bad the TV show ever did happen it would have been epic indeed.

[@theamerican3785]

I read about the accident on the news a couple years back. It was tragic but glad to see you are doing well

Holy wow, and I thought Melissa was a hottie. Here comes another hottie in her family. Such beauties these girls! 😊

[@moonwolf5910]

I was expecting a race car bed in your dads room. The funny thing is I didn’t notice most of the guns in his room, I was looking at the stuff on the wall😂

[@derekgray1633]

Whatever he’s got I’ve got it too… just a much more mild case I still have the fridge! I’ve been wanting to visit Dragonland I’d love to see the museum, ride my dirtbike and use the range if I lived close I’d ask to work there no lie, he’s build a man’s paradise out there!

[@marktwo3160]

She has seen that house 1000 times just like it is. Fun to see again anyway. I have never seen a man with so much energy. Besides the museum, harley repair, gun shop, gun range, real hot rods, model hot rods collecting everything from vintage gas pumps to 50's malt shop furniture and so much more. Anyway, see what a man can do when he puts his mind to it. The whole compound is beyond just super impressive.
