The Haunted Mansion will site on 3x2 32x32 base plates which is a standard I use because it can still be carried by one person when on a timber base.
I will build a broken down fence around the outside and give the garden an overgrown look with lots of snakes and frogs hidden in it.
The 3 sets and the 6 32x32 base plates ready to go.
Here are the 3 sets removed from the boxes.
Here is the finished sorted parts. I have done a rough sort with plates,bricks,slopes and other parts sorted by type.
