Default a Little Bit of Progress

I am continually amazed at the volume of work everyone does AND manages to post online all the time... The amount of energy you all put forth is pretty amazing. Here is my small bit-0-due-diligence.

To that end - this year is year two for "The Haunt with No Name" - actually - it has about 8 or 10 names - because I bought a handful of domains and can't decide! But thats another thread!

Getting back on track - here is this years progress in various states of undress...

We put the stuff out for one night only and begin working in August.

This year - we have built a Flying Crank Ghost and a Witch and Cauldron - so those have been time consuming. That and this years allotment of tombstones (I think I have "Dremel Wrist"). BUT - we are up to 20 tombstones (6 will be blank).

Down in the Lab:

(Frankenstein, Zombie, Witch, Dracula, FCG out of view, Frankenstein and Dracula both 7 feet tall)

(this years work - still needs touch ups - all will have handmade LED spots)

This wall will cover part of our porch - took son and I all of 30 minutes to paint - alot of fun)

I think that is it for the moment - so much to do still - so little time.

The font is called Zombie Holocaust. It's one of those great fonts you can use for everything.

We were slamming downstairs yesterday - my 11 year old was in charge of painting gravestones - and I built his Dracula. He was really excited. Then the three kids (two younger daughters) went and handed out party invites - we are having a neighborhood kid party a week from Saturday.

Last night - tested fog machines and put out some lights.

Tonight - power wash the cauldron!

You sound even busier than me, and I'm feeling the pressure with the countdown I think it's great that your kids are involved in the projects.
