Default Some Progress

I got the fence and one of the columns up over the weekend..
Better pics are forthcoming.. but i snapped a couple quick tonite as it started to mist rain a bit.


I started to put the mausoleum up today as well.. I still have to line up the one side because its sitting a lil slanted.. Of course when i built it i had it on totally level ground so it all lined up nicely and such.. But putting it onto the steps took a lil more effort so i have to "adjust" to make it right..

I'll tapcon it down into the steps so it doesn't adjust itself in the wind at all but with the roof tresses and roof on its a full stable building that weighs a few hundred pounds so its not going anywhere quickly

Then i have to put the columns and arch on the front and the gargoyle pillars as well .

Hang the Crank ghost and adjust the front gate as i made it slightly bigger than i expected too..l

Oh well

Nice, if you want candy, you must enter the mausoleum. Looks great.
What is "tapcon"?.

Tapcon is a concrete screw basically..

Although thinking about it i might just put some threaded rod or rebar into the steps so it doesnt move instead..

Don't you wish you could leave a Halloween fence up year round?

Be careful what you wish for! Anytime you want to make a trip to MA in the fall, I can give you more leaves than you can dream of. I've got about 5,000 on the ground now, with about another 150,000 still to come down!
