Mansion Renovation Project

Okay, so everyone knows the default save; Mansion. Well, I think it is is great build and deserves to be default due to it's lovely interior. With complete respect to Proog, I decided to renovate one of the most used default save's exterior. This topic will show every stage in the project, dismantling and rebuilding.

Enjoy!

Start:


Stage One:
Our team put up scaffolding around the existing edifice.



Stage Two:
We started to dismantle the top of the mansion.



Stage Three:
We continue to dismantle walls, and finish dismantling roof.



Stage Four:
Continuing to dismantle walls.



Stage Five:
Interior is revealed when second floor exterior is gone.



Stage Six:
First real construction begins. Columns for new portico rise.



Stage Seven:
Bottom floor exterior is dismantled.



Stage Eight:
Construction begins on new exterior.



Stage Nine:
New second floor exterior built:



Stage Ten:
More walls constructed.



Stage Eleven:
Cornice built.



Stage Twelve:
New towers built.



Stage Thirteen:
Chimneys are peeled of previous paint revealing old stone. Roof is also completed. Renovation is now complete.



Portico before scaffolding taken down:



Stage Fourteen:
Last touches completed, scaffolding taken down.

Portico:



Normal view:



Birdseye:



Just a reminder of how far it has come:



And voila! Renovation complete! Interior is exactly the same as old mansion.

I thank Proog for building the original mansion.

Any constructive criticism is allowed.

Also, do you think I should do this with another default save?

I came

dude seriously this is the stuff that should be default

I like the scaffolding idea for the renovations, nicely done.


Thanks for your kind comments! I'm thinking of doing this to Facechild's house or Fort Papa. Whatcha think?

Never heard of either...

You can find both in your Bedroom saves.

Nice mansion. Not that boring default one... 9.9999999999999/10 (I rated like this cuz I felt like it.)


I remember when we were all stunned by the original mansion build.  Good ol' BL beta.

Beautiful redo, although, I feel the interior does not fit with the exterior as there are random colored rooms that do not fit with the color theme. I would ask, could you release a save? I would love to explore this.

Also, you should redo Fort Papa.
