Rich, Did you Insulate one or both of the blade clips that go into the wiper motor?? I used some electrical tape and just wrapped a short piece around the blade clip before attaching to the motor. Otherwise they could easily short out inside of that little array. One way or another we'll figure it out.

Greg,

I did do that, but in moving the connections on and off a dozen and a half times as I tried to figure out what was going on before I realized the first power supply had crapped out may have moved things about. So, yeah, I will still need to work on it a bit at the meeting.

Hi All, It;s been a busy week. I Just got back from Arkansas from my sons Graduation. Traveling during my busiest time is hectic.

So Rich, Did you get your Wiper motor to run???

Bob, Where are you and your Dad at with the build??

Hey Greg, congratulations on your son's graduation.

I haven't touched my Creep since my last post as I've been busy doing some redecorating/remodeling at the old homestead. Building walls in my basement and putting up sheetrock has really impacted my prop building schedule. I went from working on something Halloween related almost every day for two weeks straight to doing just about nothing.

I'm hoping the bulk of the work will be finished this week -- have one more piece of sheetrock to put up tomorrow, then comes the fun part of taping, mudding, and sanding. Painting can wait.

I'll be bringing the Creep though on Saturday to get it finished, along with some foam to do some tombstone carving. I'm hoping to have the shapes cut out prior to Saturday with the wording and designs ready for carving. But I talk big. We'll see how the week goes.

Is anyone still planning on comming early to take part in the local Junk Swap (Townwide Garage sale)? Last year I got several puter speakers, A few light fixtures suitable for haunting, an Awesome baby marshal guitar amp. and a scroll saw as well as some new batteries for my Dewalt tools

Both Bob and I are coming early, Greg. At least that's what Bob was telling me the other day. We'll be there 7 a.m. sharp!

The Garage sale starts at 8am. I'll do my best to be up early. I was thinking more like 8am or 9am. But ya'll can bebop around all ya want at any time. There's usually over 100 homes selling stuff.

GhoulishCop · #58 05-16-2012

Okay, okay. Fine. 8 a.m. it is.

On a positive note, the NY strips steaks are here and ready for the grill! So if anyone is thinking about coming to a NJH M&T, this might be one you'd want to attend.

But, um, if you do plan on coming just post a note on the board so I make sure I've got enough. I'll have a few extra because, knowing haunters, someone's bound to pop up unannounced. And if no one else comes, well, that's more for us! The rest of the menu includes corn on the cob and beer. Lots of beer.

And maybe Bob will make his salad again. Slave over a hot stove all night for us, wearing his apron.

Whats up guys, Yeah my father and I are planning on attending...We have gotten little done on the creep. We have both been busy. So I was thinking about finishing it up mostly at home and asking you guys questions if I have them along the way. I dont want to hold the builds up.

100 homes selling stuff might be a meeting in itself so I was thinking about maybe just bringing some foam to start that june easy project..lol Ive been so busy I need a easy day away... Either way it will be a good time and I am looking forward to seeing you guys.

I'll make the pasta salad Rich relax..lol

and Greg congrats on the graduation Im happy you had a safe trip. See you Guys Saturday at 8AM
