Setting up for Halloween this weekend

I'm planning on setting up at least 60% of the yard this week (October 10-11).

Halloween Project - Crypt


 
Step 1: I used 2" x 2" lumber to build the frame. I also attached "L" shape brackets to help hold the wood together in case of strong wind. (see photo on left)


Step 2: I then attached a trash bag to the roof to make sure the crypt would not leak. (see photo on right)





Step 3: Then I used zip ties to attached the Styrofoam walls. The inside of the crypt was painted dark brown (thought it was black when I purchased the paint).







Step 4: Filled in all of the holes, created by the zip ties, and cracks with window putty.

Step 5: I used a wood carving tool and a ruler to carved all of the blocks into the foam.

Step 6: Paint the crypt.
