Looking at the countdown banner at the top of the forum. Only ten days left!
Where do you fit in on the poll?

I'll be ready. Still have a lot of set-up to do but all projects are finished, not buying anything else, and just need to get a couple nice pumpkins and some more candy.

What gets done gets done but I will be working up until the day before.

Funny!

My house looks like a cyclone hit it. There are totes full of stuff all over the basement rec room. Four zombie figures are standing against a wall in the laundry room (scared the crap out of Mrs. Dubs last night. She was not happy!) My garage has a foot path to walk around all the tombstones, coffin, facade panels and other stuff that will go out. There are five more wall panels on the back patio. All in all, chaos, but "organized!". It all comes together nicely. It's just waiting right now until next week for osme of the stuff to be set in place. We're used to it each year though. Not looking forward to packng it all away after Halloween. Yikes! I start two weeks vacation today so at least I'll have ample time to set up/tear down. Now it's just hoping for decent weather!

I've still got al ittle witch repair to do but I should get finished with them today and have them set up. I still keep thinking my yard needs something else though. It looks so empty compared to last year. I know, I know - a little late to start anything else. Oh! I still need candy! Lots of candy!

I just came off several days of teaching short intensive workshops and a trip out of town. I slept most of yesterday and decided that what gets done gets done. I'll work right up to the wire but I'm not losing too much sleep this year trying to get new props finished. If they are ready or "good enough", I'll put they out. If they need too much work, well then i have a year to get it done right for 2012.
