The weekend plans include finishing the PVC flicker candles and the campfire (today), going to HF tomorrow, and then building the outhouse (with the wiper motor door opener/closer) on Sunday. We still have to build the mausoleum, the FCG marionette, and build the washer woman... Sigh, lots still to do!

halloweenscreamqueen....please oh please be sure to post construction pictures of your projects......I for sure would be interested in the outhouse with the opening door.

When we lived in Nebraska where our diner was, it was a small town of 63. There were quite a few outhouses in that old town. We were known for owning most of the properties that had outhouses on them, for instance the old filling station had a his & hers outhouse. When we moved & sold everything I brought 1 outhouse door with me as a souvenier. Its in my yard right now, would love to make a project/ prop out of it!

I am finishing up my pumpkins for my cheap cardboard columns this weekend.
Tutorial here: Cheap graveyard columns - cardboard!

I hope to be able to start work on our crypt and FCG this weekend. I've been stalled by the hellishly hot weather (I live in Houston, TX ) and the lack of DH's participation (for safety's sake, I am not using power tools without him at least home, and he works nights ) I've never used a circular saw, and he has yet to show me how so I can do it myself. (cause I'm sure he knows I'll sneak around and work on this while he's at work!)

I am going to work on carving a few tombstones this weekend too.

We've got a week's vacation coming up, so hopefully that will be when we get the majority of stuff finished.

I still have to finalize my plans for our Halloween party - I am sort of blocking that from my mind right now...

All you need is a week's vacation to get the majority of stuff FINSIHED?
You must plan well. WE live in unorgangized " got to run back to Home Depot" hell. We can't get started ! LOL ! But we do have alot of cool stuff laying around begging for our attention. Ham should "finish" the coffin this weekend.
But I am floundering with what do I want to do.
Haunted Tree "buffet" supports. ( 2 of them for and 8 foot "table")
Gothic Faux Window Frames to cover 2 single hung windows on the house.
RE-make over of our " roots" ( pumkinrot inspired) scarecrow ( new head and arms) that is going into the Millard McVee Swamp haunt ( see bloody piggies
already made for the scary scene contest.) Oh, that was a shameless plug for
everyone to go look and vote. LOL !
Muffy has a scene entered too !
I am Shameless. Sorry Muffy, I couldn't resist plugging the contest and soliciting people to go look. I wasn't soliciting votes for me. Just to VOTE ! LOL !

Yes I want to see the outhouse too. Sounds like something that might work for the Swamp Stomp. LOL. Please ....another project. Yep you might add a OUthouse to my list too.
What am I working on right this minute? Getting off the computer and getting started on : invitations or the roots redo.

I'm working on my directional sign post for my pirate display. I'm finished with my treasure trove (various pirate treasure chests and various treasure). I made a couple of scary mermaids to sit on the corner of my yard on my rock outcropping.

Once I'm finished I'll work on my haunt sign...Dead Man's Point.

I am really planning on starting this weekend...I Was waiting for it to drop below 100, but doesn't look like it is happening soon. Have been working inside on 3 - axis and some decorating props.

We have 2 weeks off...starting next week. So we're hoping that will give us a jump start on getting things done.
I just finished the secret reaper gifts but still waiting for something to arrive by mail before I can send it.
We're also busy with the organ. Its been gutted down to the frame and keyboard. Pieter's busy making the system to operate the keys. We already have the pcv pipes and large pieces of styrofoam to make the alcove for the pipes. It's supposed to stay dry this weekend so we'll probably work on cutting the alcove out of the styrofoam.
