Hope everyone going to the Doors Open and Auchmar tours this weekend has a wonderful time and it's sunny both days.Well, i guess there were a couple of rooms. i dont remember much from down there since there wasnt really much down there... just your average basement, except it's Auchmar.
found this description about Auchmar: Auchmar is abosolutely incredible inside: Hallways and doors that lead to nowhere, huge rooms, winding hallways and staircases. thought that was interesting.Hmm. not sure... I didnt get to tour the grounds last year because it was rainy when I was there but this year I'll have plenty of time and it's supposed to be nice out. hope you get to see the grounds this time.
found this description about the grounds: Explore the private grounds and view the treed allee, dovecote, garden walls and the remains of the original orchard. would enjoy seeing those.I just found out yesterday that I will be there all day Saturday AND Sunday (10-4pm), YAY! that's great!! Enjoy yourself and take plenty of pics.

Well guys, I've completed my time at Auchmar. Unfortunately the props were taken down in the main house so most of my pictures are pretty boring. I did, however, get some very interesting pictures. I will have them posted eventually. You can see one of them in my picture <--- PM me and I can let you know what other pictures I got...

Hey, Poppen! Too bad about the props. but at least you saw them last year and got pics. That is so cool that you are in a BHH uniform. How did you get it? Is it yours to keep?

Oh my gosh! Did you see the black Magnet 360 shirt that Marshall wore? I would be so tempted to take that! Did you see Josie's thick green necklace (as in Magnet).Tell all what clothing you saw. Yeah..I must have OCD:)

There were soooo many clothes. But I dont even think i saw any of marshalls clothing. only josie, lucas and corrine. they were on racks packed tightly together so i couldnt see much. i did find a bunch of josie accesories but i couldn't find anything that i recognized. here is the 'climbing the corporate ladder' shirt.

That's really odd they'd just leave BHH items behind, especially wardrobe, you'd think they would have had a storage place somewhere. Pop would you happen to know who's jacket you were wearing?
So I take it no sponges this time?
How much different were the rooms, did they even look BHHie any more?

Well, I believe they moved the props because other shows/movies were filming at Auchmar in BHH's absence.
Auchmar IS the storage place for the stuff. I suppose they expect the series to be renewed so there is no point in getting rid of the stuff.
Backstage really looked as though they were expecting to return shortly. There are dirty mugs lying around!
I actually found the cast dressing rooms this year too. Most of the pics of Mike were on his dressing room door.
Acutally I did find some sponges! I have a pic of them but its on my camera still and I cannot put them on the computer at this time.
Most of the rooms looked completely different. Like the science lab! it was bare to the bone. even the chalkboard was gone. you could tell the cafeteria was the same room... and z's office with the black and white floors. Again, i have some pictures of the empty rooms that i will post eventually.
I had another little bonus this year, I got to meet vtown7! the first member of this board that I have met. Incase anyone is wondering, he is very nice
*oh yes, I was wearing Lucas' shirt and jacket

I actually found the cast dressing rooms this year too. Most of the pics of Mike were on his dressing room door. Were the BHH items located in one area or were they in different places throughout Auchmar House?
So it was basically like areas had been frozen in time? Acutally I did find some sponges! I have a pic of them but its on my camera still and I cannot put them on the computer at this time. Did they still have all the boxes/bags of sponges you saw last year?
Did you see anything unexpected this year? Notice anything you didn't last year? Did you see anything that you went "yeah, I remember that, from last year, wow it's still here"? Most of the rooms looked completely different. Like the science lab! it was bare to the bone. even the chalkboard was gone. you could tell the cafeteria was the same room... and z's office with the black and white floors.

*oh yes, I was wearing Lucas' shirt and jacket What did they do with all the 'furniture'? Is Z's office the only room with black/white floors? Did you go upstairs?
Yes, Ryan told me you were going to give him the tour. That's great you two got to meet. And had fun. ;D
Lucas' shirt and jacket huh? Did you get an urge to investigate something strange? Btw Pop, they looked good on you.
Which did you enjoy more this year or last year?

Were the BHH items located in one area or were they in different places throughout Auchmar House? Actually all the stuff was in the retreat house - on the back of the Auchmar house. All the stuff is stuffed in 'victor's mansion'
Because we did not have the security like last year, we did not have access to the building where i saw the sponges last year
Well, I was free to snoop more on my own since security was not there so i found the wardrobe and looked thru the office-ish room.
Victor's place from what i could tell.
yes
yes
Well, last year was more exciting because it was my first time there and all the rooms looked like on the show but this year, i got to see more interesting things, like the wardrobe

What part inside or outside that we see on BHH?Because we did not have the security like last year, we did not have access to the building where i saw the sponges last year
Well, I was free to snoop more on my own since security was not there so i found the wardrobe and looked thru the office-ish room. Which building were the sponges located in last year? How many buildings are there? What else did you find this year?What was the Z's office-black/white floor room originally used for? A dining room? Parlor? Library?What did you see upstairs? Find anything good or interesting?Sounds like you really enjoyed yourself and had fun both times.

Victor's mansion is the retreat house?What part inside or outside that we see on BHH? [/quote] Inside. I'm not sure where the outside is filmed. Probably a nearby house. The coach house which was just used for storage. Used by the nuns as a home. I think 3? The other building (the dovecote (sp?)) was not being used for anything. It looked closed up. Lots of snapshots lying around.... It was a dining room. Upstairs was mostly empty. Most of the pictures that i got (the pictures of pictures) were posted on some walls up there.

Inside. I'm not sure where the outside is filmed. Probably a nearby house. So all of the interior shots at Victor's was the inside of the retreat house? The atrium we see sometimes in Victor's office is there? And some of the walls look like stone? Where is the retreat house from Auchmar main?The coach house which was just used for storage. Used by the nuns as a home. The nuns used the coach house as a home? Are there any nuns still there? I read a few places that some still are, but I'm not sure they would be though.I think 3? The other building (the dovecote) was not being used for anything. It looked closed up. So there's Auchmar main, the retreat house, and the coach house? What did they used to use the dovecote for? Actual birds? How big is it?Kind of thought it would be. Guess it was easier to clean. But I've never really understood why anyone wants checkerboard design, I don't like it, no matter the colors.Upstairs was mostly empty. Most of the pictures that i got (the pictures of pictures) were posted on some walls up there. How many rooms were up there? Now you know I'd get around to asking this...how many bathrooms are in Auchmar? And I'll go ahead and ask this: How many rooms in total and what rooms are they? What were their original purposes? Was the kitchen we saw in Nutrition at Auchmar?Really need those blueprints.
