Kenton has been hard at work. In the 6th video of the House of Horrors, you can see the build out from empty warehouse to the instillation of the second story walkway and stairs.

For the guardrail of the elevated walkway around the House of Horrors (installed to allow closeup viewing of the roof-covering materials) we’re using 4" welded wire mesh to minimize visual obstruction by the guardrail assembly, viewed from the floor below. Mesh wires are 4" on center, leaving a 3⅞" opening.

At the stairs, the graspable handrail is not yet installed.

Kenton walks us through the mechanical room of the House of Horrors. Check out the latest update on the InterNACHI House of Horrors.
