I think we have enough Lego for a building like that - the catch is we might
not have enough for other buildings.  I seem to recall that the one thing
we're all short of is town stuff. (windows & doors, and minifigs, oh my.)

I have about 30 of the 4 wide x 3 high opening windows in various colours.
About half include the shutters. 23 of the 5 high x 4 wide x 2 thick
doors (all have red frames - some yellow door, some white). About 20 of
the yellow or red sloped window frame (3 high, 4 wide, and sloping from
2 thick to 1 thick). About 20 of the 3 x 4 x 2 windows. 9 of the blue-
bucket style doors. A dozen of the small 3x2x1 windows.

A fair number of car chassis, windshields, minifigs, etc. too. Much of this
is from the bunches of buckets I've bought - a bunch in one big batch
a few years ago when they were in a double sale at the Bay.

So, if lack of any of those was an excuse for not building, consider the
excuse shot down! :-)

That's cool.  I may also do a S@H order over the winter, and get some bulk
windows, for a skyscraper.  I've got a decent amount of 4w3h windows & a bunch
of classic windows, too.  Enough that I could do a few more houses without
strain.
