UK toy fanatic James May is having a real house built from millions of LEGO bricks. While running new wires through the walls and plumbing fixes should be a snap, I'd hate to be anywhere near the place in case of fire. GeekSugar has a gallery of pictures of the place as it's being built.

He's not just a toy fanatic- James May is one of the co-hosts of Britain's immensely popular "Top Gear".

A commenter on the site hosting the pictures said it best:
"what a staggering and depressing failure of imagination to turn lego pieces into big blocks and stack them into a bigger box. totally lame."

Well... at least he won't have to worry about painting it.

When we were building an addition on our house a couple of years ago we briefly considered going with our architect's suggestion of a Lego walled shower in the master bath. I think we'd have gotten tired of it, so we bailed.

I see plenty of wood in there. Lego is cool, but it doesn't have the structural strength necessary to build a house.

Apparently they made a small cross-section entirely from lego which worked, but they couldn't do a full house and film it for insurance reasons.
They also made a bridge from mecano.

I think it's semantically correct. An entire house made from Lego. Not half a house or part of a house, but an entire house.
Now... it's not a house made entirely of Lego.
But it is an entire house made of Lego.
