Lego Table Update - Final Assembly

The tables are assembled!

That's right, all the parts are in place and we're just one final sanding away from putting a finish on them.  Check out them out!

Lego Table Update - All A Board?

After a lot of planning, figuring, and waiting for the weather to get nicer... or at least STOP SNOWING, we finally were able to pick up the necessary lumber to make our new Lego tables with.

Of course, getting all the wood home was the easy part... and just the beginning.

The Best Laid Plans

It is snowing.  A lot.   We had planned to start construction on the new tables this week but every chance we've had to go get the lumber-- every chance-- it has snowed.  Or rained.  The upside is that we've had a lot of time to work on the final plans and I think we've come up with some good ones.  Want to see?  Read on for some construction plans that involve wood instead of plastic.  Oh-- that red smudge?  It's blood... I caught a nasty splinter while lumber shopping!

MOVING DAY!

Tomorrow morning -- early-- is MOVING DAY!   We'll be packing up our U-Haul with all the beds and bedroom furniture and OFFICIALLY start living at our new house!  Yay!

This picture is from the "floor version" of the town but since all the Lego are in boxes I have only "archival" pictures to choose from!   The new house is about 12 miles from the old one, so moving shouldn't take too long.  We're hoping to have lunch at the new house before/during the unloading.

Sneak Peak!

As promised, here's a quick video peak of the new house's gameroom where Legotown will be rebuilt.  Have ideas for how the new table OR town should be built?  Leave us comments!

End of an Era-- Beginning of a NEW Era Soon!

Legotown -- as it was -- is no more.

April Update

We're moving!   No, no.... not the blog or the YouTube channel-- US!   We'll soon be dismantling the town and packing it all into boxes for the quick trip to the new house.  

 Closing is this week and we'll make the actual move next month...  which means we'll be using "archival" Lego pictures until we get set up in the new place.  We'll mix those posts in with updates on the moving of the town itself too.  There's also a chance the Lego table might be available for sale---  anyone interested?  

Top Shelf

After I posted videos on our YouTube channel showing the new Lego table, I immediately began getting all sorts of requests for instructions on how to build one.   This was quite flattering!  The video shows the table after it was set up, but I thought this would be a better place to explain how it was built and why you should not build one...  and why this table could very well not survive much longer.

A Deluxe Apartment in the Sky

In Bricksburgh, if you want to "move on up" there is only one address that will do.   The Apartment/Condo building (sadly we don't have a fancier name for it than that) is the tallest tower in town at 5 stories.   It has beach/ocean views and a coffee shop owned by Mia in the bottom.  I'll post the video tour of the building at the bottom, but here's some pictures I took of it being constructed:
