Thread: For Sale Sign

Tweet

Here is a sign I just finished. It is based on the sign made by the folks at The Fright Gallery (here). A pic of their sign is below.


Anyway, I made the sign itself (not the wooden post) last year, but I didn't age it at all (no moss or brownish paint on sign), and didn't have time to incorporate it into the display. The sign is carved from 2" extruded foam, and painted. The post is made from a few 2x4's, and painted brown. The "FOR SALE" sign on top is a piece of wood, painted white, and with paper letters glued on, and painted with a plastic coat to protect the letters from the weather, etc. I still need to age the for sale sign a little with some gray paint. Both signs is double sided, so it can be seen while approaching the haunt from the left or right. Here are some pics:

I like that.....good job!

Very cool.

Looks good. I like the moss.

Hopefully, you won't get too many people knocking on your front door thinking your house is for sale!!

Thats great. I wonder if anyone will actually fall for it and stop in. You should put it out right now!

I'm sure there's plenty of dum-dums who will not get it...

This is my first attempt at adding a pic ...fingers crossed : )
I had an old mailbox post sitting around so I made a sale sign too. I built a little house to sit over the bracket where the mailbox used to be, may add lighting to it someday.

Ummm your first attempt didn't seem to work. At least not on my computer. Try again?

Nice prop NP. If it were in my yard, I wouldn't have it standing so erect.

I was planning on doing that at one time, but forgot to do it, thanks for reminding me.

P.S. Attached below is the finished "for Sale" part of the sign
