Thread: Anyone else not finished decorating?

Tweet

It rained here the first 2 weeks of October....

We have been decorating for 3 days and most of our decoration in place...now we have to string the lights....All the zombies are happy to be out of the attic and on my lawn. The tombstone have been erected. I have started my PVC candles and almost completed them.

My LOR sequences are not exactly complete because last year only 8 channels of my 16 channels were working so I designed all my sequences for 8...now I need to include 8 more channels (not that hard but still needs to be done)

We have the flood light placed in the yard and connected to the LOR. When I tested a show THEY WOULD NOT WORK! OH MY! Buy when I run the LOR test system it works. OH MY!

I HAVE 11 DAYS! OH MY! It is supposed to rain on Wednesday and all thru this weekend. OH MY!

I could just cry. 11 days til Halloween.

Yes. I am the one who has the funsucking family who hates to help me decorate...however my daughter did a great job this year and helped me without complaining but my husband managed to complain a little extra this year....and now I informed him he has to put the lights on the house today because it is going to rain tomorrow and the rest of the week....pray for me...

I'm with you fellow Texan

Decorations go up this weekend!

I had to wait until I had time to now the lawn first after those rains.

Haha, count yourselves lucky! I can start decorating friday the 30st after 9.00 p.m.!!! And that's even a lucky break, 'cause last year I could start at 16.00 on hallowe'en....

That's the trouble with renting a place, I know, but still, the idea might comfort the both of you!

Started the decorating on Oct 1st, had it almost done, than the rain and 50 + wind gust, 1 week to redo it all. still adding finishing touches. Good luck to you all. Had some rain yesterday, no wind. everythink looks prety good so far. Just need more halloween sequences. ecbrum 64 channel, first year for halloween.

Ok...thats worse...to have to do it twice...you WIN!

We're almost done with all the big stuff. The winds and rains and unseasonably cold temps have hindered us, as well. Through the first 13 days of October, we had rain for 11 of them, I believe the news report said! We are 25 degrees below average for this time of year, for temperatures! Its finally gotten to where my hands don't freeze to the point of not functioning within 10 minutes of being outside...where it should be!

Haven't started yet. Vacation starts Saturday.

House upstairs - done.
"Psycho Lounge" downstairs for party - 75% done.
Garage haunt - still need to finish lightingand sound.
Front lawn, 50% done, but the big/expensive items don't go up until the day of the party, then down again until Halloween.
Lots to do, but at least I have a good idea of what has to be done...

The wind and rain is killing me in NJ! All I have to finish outside now is the lighting, but it's been so cold. I'm hoping to get out there tonight and finish. All the rest, driveway stuff, has to wait till Halloween morning because I have no where else to park our cars.

Main graveyard outside is done. I also don't put out the good stuff until the night of (about 2-3 hours worth of setup time), but we're doing a party on the 24th, so it all goes out that day and comes back in and then goes back out Halloween.

Inside about 75% complete.

Thunderstorms expected Wednesday/Thursday, but this weekend is supposed to be nice... hope Halloween is too.
