For Christmas we built set 40009, the Holiday Building Set. This was a fun little set to build with the kids with several little items to build.
Immediately after building a tree and fireplace, it became obvious we would need a house to put them into. Seeing as how it was the holidays (and the parts we could find to build with) a red and white striped house seemed to be a great choice.
Every Lego house we build has to have windows. In this case we wanted to be able to see the interior, so we took advantage of a number of 1x2 transparent windows we had from a trip to the Pick-A-Brick Wall.
The interior was nice and cozy with just enough room for all the items we built in the set.
After placing the roof on the house, we decided to a final touch. We had a plate we covered with light blue translucent studs that we decided when tipped at an angle would make a nice solar panel. Hopefully the occupants of the house decide to use that for running a heater rather than using the fireplace that isn't connected to a chimney or any exterior vents.
Maybe it's one of those electric fireplaces the Amish make and then sell on the infomercials. Is it possible to over think the heating system being used in a Lego house?
