Seems to be a real struggle finding the time to set up this year. All these great plans in May are now becoming a source of stress as Halloween rushes towards me.
This is what I hope to have set up by Halloween.
Here are some pics of what the front yard looks like last night!!
Below: This is a pic from the end of the driveway. You can see the "big" tower and some of the apothecary facade in front of the garage. The car is parked in front of the cider hut. I have the fence up, but not all of the lighting is out yet. (or all the skeletons, tombstones, etc.)
Below: Another pic from the end of the drivway. In this pic you can see a bit more of the apothecary tower. Also in that corner is the Slaughtered Lamb.
Below: My vine pumpkin scarecrow.
Below: Another shot of the pumpkin scarecrow without the flash.
Below: The beginnings of my graveyard. I still have a few more tombstones to put out (currently painting them) and I have some small iron fencing to put out around a few plots. I also need to put the boardwalk together, which is something I hope to do this afternoon.
Below: The big tower and the front of the house, as it currently looks. I still need to put more skeletons on the roof and get the lighting right. If I had the time and knowledge, I would put two bluckies in the big tower and run them on a wiper motor.
Below: The apothecary tower is still my favorite. It was the first tower facade I built, but this year it sports a brand new tower roof and all new window sills and trim.
Below: In the corner of the driveway, I have started putting up the facade for the Slaughtered Lamb. I'm really happy with it so far, but I still need to finish carving and painting both sides of the pub sign.
Below: Another pic of the apothecary tower with a bit more of the Slaughtered Lamb visable. The last week of October, my wife and I will clean up the garage and set of the apothecary. It's shelves and tables full of fun jars and nick-nacks. It works great when the garage doors are open. People can look through the big windows and a "witch" can work in the garage talking and cackling to ToTs.

Oh, I've been waiting to see how yours is turning out. I love, love, love the pumpkin scarecrow. Everything is really turning out great. By the way, what's the skid marks on the driveway for?
