Rebuilding forgotten Lego that were missing instructions

Idea Book 1 : The timber-framed house

Dive into building the bold, XL-sized timber-framed house featured in the Official LEGO Idea Book No. 1 (238-0 or 238-1), page 11, where children play with this striking red and white structure. This design showcases a large construction with stability reliant on two 20×10 plates, which may pose a stability challenge. Since the original text is unreadable, we’ve replaced the text with “L’auberge du poney fringuant” de Brie, meaning “Prancing Pony Inn of Brie” in reference to LOTR. We have crafted detailed step-by-step instructions and a complete inventory list to help you assemble this unique LEGO masterpiece.

All the builds in this picture can be found in that page.
