Ready, Set, Go!

So yesterday construction began. Jacob had to go to a guitar lesson so once we dropped him off me and my dad drove to my friends house , Mitch. Once we arrived at his house i pulled up on the driveway and knocked on his door, he answered enthusiastically by saying "hey Luke! whats up?" I then reminded him that i needed to borrow his Lego and he went off to find it. About 3 minutes later he came back with a large storage box full of all the Lego he has then i thanked him and I put it in the boot of my car and we went back to pick up Jacob from guitar lessons.

Once I got home I hauled the huge, heavy box of Lego upstairs and opened the lid. There was enough in there to build a whole neighborhood!! I'm not even kidding it actually had lego roads and lego trees and other things. So I went through the box and started building the house using all the lego bricks i could find. All this frustration from digging through a box looking for good peices made me hungry so i went downstairs and ate a browny, the strange thing is these brownies my mum made actually make you feel hungrier after you eat them :S so instead of building more of the Lego house I decided to dig through the pantry more and see what i could eat : Oh well, more to finnish off tonight then :P

In The Beginning...

Welcome to my blog! over the next four weeks I will be posting my progress over something I have never done before or something I wouldn't normally do. After days of deciding and all the crazy ideas which have passed my mind (some ideas were very expensive, time consuming, illegal or even just plain impossible!) I decided to build a Lego house. This isn't any ordinary Lego house, a normal Lego house must be about the size of a box of laundry powder, the house im building will use between three to eleven boxes of Lego! I came across this idea when I was watching a television show about a life size, two storey high lego house made out of nothing but lego bricks and two thousand volounteers to help assemble it. Now mine can't possibly be as big as this house but i will try and make one larger than normal. I will post my progress and any good or bad experiences along the way, one Lego brick at a time!

If any one is interested in the life size Lego house I have attached pictures:
