Toy fanatic builds a house from LEGO
"I guess you could build a house with practically any material. But I never thought you could actually build one from LEGO pieces. So James May, a toy fanatic from the UK surprised me, by building a real house from one of my favorite toys as a child.
The two-story Lego palace is located in the middle of a vineyard and has a working bathroom. James used bricks pieced together by 272 Legos. Over three million bricks were used so that’s about 816 million Lego pieces. Quite an amazing job.
Seen at Geeksugar. More images after the break."

poor kids that didn't get legos for christmas because this asshole needed (3million X 272) legos

Aye, it's a bit shit that it's just a lego veneer - would've been good to see them go the whole hog, even if it were to make a deadly end-result.

dude probably has a lego girlfriend too.

there's sure as fuck not 800 million Lego blocks in there though. Someone's seriously fucked up their math.

YES thank you! this has been going around the internet for two weeks now. everything, aside from the load barring walls, will be made from legos. doors, benches, bed frames, even the toilet (and it will be a working toilet, lid, handle and all) will be made from legos.

word is he will also eat legos 3x a day so he can shit them into his lego toilet.
