The Haunted Heritage - Left

Around the side wall, I added a casement window and also replaced the original side window with a Houseworks working component.

I added the Handley House electric and gas meters. These are well designed metal kits that take paint finishes readily. I used the gas meter as is, just painting it to look old and weathered. These meters aren't usually right against the wall, but the piece is hollow and it was too heavy to hold in place with glue points on the pipes alone. So, it is glued to the foundation and the pipes. I drilled into the foundation to insert the right side pipe.

The electric meter didn't come with any conduit, and I've seen a number of real life examples of how these are done. Since I'm not going into the electricians' trade, I decided a little artistic license was called for in this instance. I added a conduit into the house, again drilling into the foundation. I positioned the boxes on the house in such a way that I can always add wires later in case I decide to build a utility pole.

For this swinging window, I had to add a Juliet balcony for grandma's safety. In the original layout, there would have been a stairway here and no way for someone to fall out of the floor to ceiling window. By moving the stairs to the center of the house and adding a full floor in the bedroom, that meant grandma could tumble straight out the window. Not good. :[
