About this project



I got back into LEGO building in June, 2000, shortly after adopting Precious, my third cat. She loved to be amidst my building from the start. She didn't disturb partially assembled LEGO objects, or even piles of bricks, so I could leave her to play around my assembled work without too much fear of damage.



My first project was to be a large house, about 4 feet by 2 feet in size. I drew floor plans and built much of the front wall as a test of concept, then set about creating a pattern for the floor that was to become the living room. I quickly came up with a double row of crosses that reminded me of the center aisle of a church, and building a church suddenly seemed like a more interesting project.



And so the Abston Church of Christ was conceived as my first LEGO project in twenty years. As the picture above shows, Precious continued to enjoy my building, and as you'll see in the Cats in Church pictures, she and her sister, Anya, made this project quite a lot of fun. Read about it in the construction log.



As chance would have it, I only had a few hours of work to complete when Precious passed away in January, 2002, so in her honor I wrapped it up that same day, and I've dedicated this project to her.

I love Lego. Don't have enough money to build a collection up though :/

Holy crap!

That's even better, even if parts keeping falling apart and the bed's hard as rock

I used to prefer Knex, but that product has become really crappy in recent years. If I were to use play building pieces again, it'd probably be lego too.



And I must say, these are some awesome projects of theirs.

I really, really like the church.



I don't really like the house much, though. It's too overdone, and even if it's not for living, what if one of the top pieces got loose and the house collapsed? lol

Oh yeah, I should have a box of K'nex around somewhere...

Then you rebuild it of course!
