Nice adaptation. I too want to remodel the house but mostly to include features that I think are missing. The designer has done a superb job and gone all out in most respects. However I think he's missed a couple of features that would have made the set even more awesome. The two windows on the side with the staircase should have been deleted in favour of a single large between floors stained glass effect feature window. This is what you would find in most period houses and would give the model more appeal and authenticity. Particularly as all the windows are in the same style and the only relief from the basic square shape of the model is the side entrance on one side and to a lesser extent the chimney on the other. To this end I'd also like to see a mini glass conservatory next to the chimney even if it part enclosed it. Having a feature window for the stairs would also solve the issue of the stairs covering a portion of the lower window. Also the staircase is too basic for a model of this sophistication and should be a moulded one or two piece (so it can be utilised straight or left or right with a landing) and should feature sealed treads, railings and bannisters for effect. The ground floor should be raised even with the front door. It's an obvious ommission. As is the lack of a bathroom or even sink in the kitchen. A bathroom would also provide the opportunity for a different style window. A glass roof light for the attic would be neat too. And as has already been observed there should be a base plate in front to attach the gate to the house and make it one. A grave or mini mausoleum in this space would be welcome too! The creation of these new elements would increase the cost but would be worth it. I appreciate the designers can't do everything and please everbody. These are my observations. What do you think? Overall it's a really cool set. What makes Lego so great is we can all interpret and modify to suit ourselves...
