2013 Halloween Summary

This year, I just didn't feel like putting out my Halloween decorations, but my niece and nephew was begging me to put them out.  I took the little bit of energy I had and put out all of the decorations.  I only had enough energy to work on two new projects, which was my new jester and modifying my above ground grave by adding a gargoyle head to the front of it which I used to shoot my fog machine out of it's mouth.

 
 

 
 



2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 4

I repaired my headless horseman.  I hope he says standing up this year.

I started working on a few projects that I hope I have finished before Halloween.  I'm working on a new JESTER dummy, but I only finished the frame and lower half today.

I also decided to modify my above ground grave that I made a few years ago.

BEFORE:

Under Construction:
I added a head to the front that I'm planning on shoot fog out of.  The budgie cords are  holding the head in place while it dries.  I also took the bottom off  and I shorten the top, so it will no longer be an extra 5 inches on both sides.  I just didn't like the way it turned out when I first made it. 

2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 3

Today, I put out my coffin and chop shop.

2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 2

I finished adding the blue flood lights and the miniature lights on the fence, sidewalk, and house.  Now I only have left a few more steps until everything is complete, but it will have to wait until next weekend.

Stage 3: Lights

2013 Halloween Decorating, Day 1

This year doesn't even feel like Halloween because I've been working so much overtime.  I don't feel light putting out the Halloween decorations this year, but my nieces/nephews are begging me to put them out, so I can't let them down.  I was able to set up about 75% of my yard today before I ran out of day light.
