A woman who built a Lego model of the Lehi Roller Mills says it was a great way for her to get in touch with her new community.
Valli Isenhour moved to Lehi during the pandemic because she wanted her kids to continue attending school in person, and everything was shut down in Seattle where her family lived. Their plan was to be in Lehi for just a few months, renting a townhouse until the schools opened again in Seattle.
After that was completed, she wanted to find something new to build. Each model takes an entire school year to build. She squeezes in time — here and there — to work on it in her busy life. The final product is the full mills, the metal silos, conveyor belts and tubes on the inside, as well as the store — filled with flowery-printed flour sacks — with Lego bundles of wheat and a truck driven by Kevin Bacon. The roof can be taken off so you can see the mills inside the building.
For Isenhour, the base of the model-building process is a folder filled with sketches, reference images, artworks and more to help her design the building. She also visited the mills with her daughters to learn more about the building and see it all up close. Isenhour said it was a "hunt" to find all the Lego pieces she needed. Many she bought through a secondhand Lego website where people sell individual or leftover pieces. Once she fiddled with a section and figured out how to make it work and look the way she wanted, she sometimes had to wait for new orders of bricks to come in so she could complete that area.
