PHP Collections Code Challenge

I am struggling with this one. If I use $this->wall_color then I get an error about my if statement not having the correct logic but I can't see any problem with it. The order of operations should evaluate each condition before evaluating if either condition is true. If I use $house->wall_color then I get an error saying my return value needs to be a collection of house objects. Where am I going wrong here?

index.php 
<?php

// add code below this comment
class Subdivision{
  public $houses = array();
  public function filterHouseColor($color){
    $lots = array();
    foreach($this->houses as $house){
      if ($house->wall_color == $color || $house->roof_color == $color){
        $lots[] = $house->lot;
      }
    }
    return $lots;
  }
}
?>

Inside of the function filterHouseColor change this line of code

$lots[] = $house->lot;

to this

$lots[] = $house;

Inf first case, you are trying to save result of the field which doesn't exist. Eventualy you will get an error. You need to assign object like in second case.
