Falling house of coasters wins world record

2010-04-12 75 Dailymotion

<p><br /> A man from Germany has fulfilled his dream of building the biggest house made of beer coasters in the world, securing himself an entry into the Guinness Book of World Records.<br /> </p><p><br /> Sven Goebel delivered the final proof that no holding agents or glue were used in the construction. With one little pull on a string (and a few taps of his foot), Goebel sent thousands of coasters and hundreds of working hours crashing down.<br /> </p><p><br /> Goebel has been working towards his record since January, adding up to 1000 coasters per hour to the house, which was partly furnished with armchairs, tables and even a fireplace, all made from coasters.<br /> </p><p><br /> More than a quarter of a million coasters were to be used for the record and in order to reach his goal, Goebel worked six to eight hours, seven days a week.<br /> </p><p><br /> The record holder was glad to knock down his own handiwork: "Today we only collapsed it all to finally prove that no glue was used and this is the last step to the record. But I was sure of it before, so I don't have this feeling of 'Wow'. Now I am just relieved it fell like it was supposed to and that I no longer have to be extra careful."<br /> </p><p><br /> Goebel is no amateur; he has already established two records involving coasters.<br /> </p>
