Re: Free Leggo Gear
Top Gear presenter James May is to build a full-sized house from Lego bricks.
May is planning to construct the two-storey building in Dorking, Surrey, with the help of volunteers.
He has even said he will live in the house, which will feature a staircase, toilet and shower, in the days after it is completed.
The house, in the Denbies Wine Estate, will be made from more than three million Lego bricks.
May is asking for donations of bricks from the public as he does not know exactly how many will be needed for the building day next Saturday.
He told BBC News Online: "I've got a man working on a flushing Lego lavatory. We think it's possible.
"Things like power supply, sanitation and plumbing coming into the house are as they could be for a real building - everything within my Lego house must as far as possible be Lego."
The project is being undertaken as part of BBC series James May's Toy Stories.
The Lego house follows the creation of a Plasticine garden at this year's Chelsea Flower Show, which won May the People's Choice Award.
