As I tell my kids, just because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should.

I wonder how long it would last. It seems like if you glued the pieces together it could last a long time. You'd likely need to have something heavy on the bottom, though, to keep it from blowing over in a stiff wind.

You would need some traditional headers and rafters but as long as it's one story on slab, everything else could work out well.

I don't think it would last that long. UV would start breaking down the plastic and water seeping in and going through freeze thaw cycles would wreak havoc.

I believe that a house made of Legos would stand strong for some time (assuming kids didn't come to steal pieces from it), but I imagine that it would lack the appropriate qualities that are basically assumed to be standard by modern-day construction (insulation, for example).

Then again, there would be a lot of air stuck in the walls in between the Legos, so maybe it would insulate well after all.
