Any one got a suggestion for that? Anyway how did you solve the balance problem on the stockade without putting the posts in the ground? Boy, are you gonna be busy with all these question! HM

Sure I'll post some of the build picture. and as for the wording maybe try Barbarians, hooligans, plunderers, bandits, depredators, freebooters, looters, marauders, pillagers, raiders, rapparee,s ravagers, spoilers, thiefes, a destructive agent, annihilators, assassins, cancer, chemotherapy, demolisher, despoiler, eradicator, executioner, exterminator, firebrand, iconoclast, pillager, poison, radiation, ransacker, savage, slaughterer, vandal, wrecker
LOL sorry LOL

OK first YES it does work LOL... and yes I guess I did over built it. LOL



I have a (NOT so) nice neighbor that I leave it outside in the back yard all year for her to look at, or was it for weathering effects. In the summer my lovely lady even hangs flowers on it. But we do take the skelly out. if you can see there is one of those bush monster things hooked to his hips to add that scare factor and it make his knees knock (for the little Tots of whom we tell “he is scared of them… “see his knees shacking”).

Hallomarine:
If you want I could get some up close picture and messurements if you would like.
and YES it is heavy. and that fact came in handy this year for the ghost effect.
I did besign this on the drawing of TK421 here @ Halloween Forum (Thank you TK for sharing)

here is a closer look at the crypt fog chiller



I placed the water bottles with the tops toward the fogger


here you can see the two largerwooden boards to keep the foggers off direct contasct with the ground one fogger (1000 watt run by remote control) feed the fog line to the skull pile
a second (400 watt on a timer for 5-8 seconds every 1-2 Min.) fires out an opening in the front of the crypt for scare effect

this also a great / Dry place to hide may power strips for the foggers ans other lighting and props

Damn I just threw out one of those trampoline this summer! So the fog is chilled before it is traped under the trampoline?

If you are chilling the fog, then the Freezing Fog is the one you want, definitely. If you just want the London Pea Soup fog banks floating through the air, then Swamp Juice is the best choice for certain. I use both of the two, depending on the area. Low ground fog is nice in some places, but the rolling fog banks I've found are very creepy. Mostly because you can't see 3 feet in front of you, and it gives you more opportunities to scare imo.

Love your crypt chiller idea....and hiding the fog machine under the exercise trampoline, is freaking brilliant!

I am confused about the whole thing. Is the fog allowed to expand before or after it is chilled.

The fogger is bumped up to the pipe and the bottles are in the pipe with the tops facing toward the fogger at the fogger's end of the pipe.
the fog opens up under the trampoline and spills out between the skulls
the grill on the end of the pipe is to keep small animals out.

Ok so it needs to be held down after being chilled. That is what I have not been doing. Thank you!!!
