Many thanks to the Raven Manor website for the idea of using contact paper to look like marble columns. Ironically I was hoping to find a different marble contact paper, but the only one they had was the same one that Ravon Manor used!

Lol, you and me both! Actually it comes apart into 6 pieces, or 8 pieces if you are including the columns. It still takes a lot of room to store, though. Those are actual 2x4 studded walls. I wanted it to be strong enough to support the weight of a second coffin leaned up against the side, which will hide a live actor.

Great font you used. Does anything lurk inside? Or will that fester until next year?

Sorry, not about your new toy, but how did you attach your fence to your columns?

Fab Mausoleum & graveyard.

My FCG (flying crank ghost) will be going inside. In previous years my FCG was inside the house in front of the big picture window. This year he's going to be haunting his new digs.

HallowweenKat: The fence isn't attached to the pillars. The fence is held in place by rebar hammered into the ground. 2 pieces of rebar per fence section. This makes it fairly rigid. I found it unnecessary to attach the fence to the pillars.
