Duh.... Of course, your right. Volume would increase by the cube; the
square only gets you area. That's probably why I was comming up with ~ 4x
difference; I was just estimating brick counts for the four faces, not for
the full volume... Guess I should do a better ananlysis before posting, eh?

Mine came out to be just about 4' 2" tall (including the antenna (or is it a
lightning rod?) on the top). It was quite the fun project! I didn't need a
ladder, but I did have to stand up to do the last 20 floors or so (I usually
do my lego work on the floor... I get cramps in my legs, but it works OK).
