ABSTRACT:
A housing is provided for covering an object on a building wall. The housing includes sidewalls and a front cover supported relative to the sidewalls. The sidewalls and front cover function to form an interior space generally within the sidewalls and front cover to house the object on the building wall within the interior space. The front cover is movable between an open position exposing the interior space and a closed position enclosing the interior space. A back section is generally open to permit positioning around objects of varying sizes and shapes on the building wall so as to enable such objects to be housed within the interior space.
