    This year was our first year in the new house, and the first year we did more than a pumpkin or two.

    It was a great hit.

    I had a lot of projects that got completed, and a few that I just didn't have time to do (just started playing with my prop-1 last night!)

    Things I completed:
    o Reinforced all my tombstones with pvc pipe & gorilla glue.
    o Made a trash can fog chiller
    o Soldered way too many LEDs (from a soldering standpoint.. need more for the graveyard!) all powered from the battery I took out of my garden tractor
    o Created a countdown sign
    [o Created a FCG

    Things that didn't get finished:
    o Ankle tickler (all assembled, but I needed a 24v power supply and a quick connect fitting for the air hose)
    o Tombstone pop-up (ran out of aluminum so this one is going to take some work)

    Countdown Sign:


    Graveyard:


    **itco Prop that actually looked great!:


    Rat Funeral (was going to be the "set up" for my ankle tickler):

    Nice setup for a first timer!

    I love the rat graveside services - that's funny!

    LED spotlights turned out good. I made some as well....well a friend made some for us...and they didn't put out as much as yours.

    That is great. I love the way each individual head stone is illuminated instead of the the usual flood light. Cool!

    Ditto on that, it's an awesome looking prop!

    Love the lighting too, I still can't get that right.
