A friend and myself managed a slightly less epic 9.45m in 1989. We did it in the gap in the stairwell of our old flats. The base was only 8x8 and tapered every couple of meters and it was essentially hollow (to reduce weight and because we didn't want to run out of bits). We provided horizontal stabilisation with some string between the banisters to stop it falling during construction.
It was stopped by one of the whingy old fart neighbours wondering what we were doing and threatening to complain to the management company. We had a good 5m left and probably enough bits left to cover it!
Smashing it was awesome and made one hell of a mess which took hours to clear up.
Most of the Lego came from a car boot sale in two large bins and was purchased for a mere 5 GBP. Went on ebay in 2001 for nearly 200 GBP (good investment!)
