James May's Toy Stories - Lego House , by Cybermyth13.

In a vineyard outside Dorking in Surrey, a house was built entirely of Lego for a TV programme presented by James May.

Construction took place during August and September 2009. The TV programme was shown in the UK in December 2009 as part of the Toy Stories series. I have a set of photos on Flickr of the construction and demolition (click here) and on my other blog. Conor's pix (click here).
