What a knockabout of pure fun that was!

I couldn't brick layer the dark red bricks because I only had 2x1 and 6x1 in that color. There were a couple of structural parts I couldn't replace, thus the brown hinges, gray technic ends, and a few other off colors.
The wall next to the fire escape was pretty easy to fix. Everything moved forward one stud.
The other side took more work. The kitchen shelves were shortened, the 3rd floor tiles were moved over, and the 3rd floor has a corner by the desk behind Egon where there was not one before.

So I'm curious as to how difficult this is to achieve? And is there possibly a tutorial how to do it?

I guess I'll take a trip to the Lego store and see if I can't get some bricks that match colour with the bricks that came with the set.
The basics of it are to move the existing back wall forward one stud and then build the exterior back wall out of light bluish gray and dark red bricks. I deconstructed the back exterior corners to create a brick layered look around the corner.
The hard part is making the interior look right. I'll leave that for you to figure out for now.
