Terra, that is UN-Freaking-REAL! Your patience is amazing.

awesome, i really like it, im gonna give it a shot with a few changes, thank you for this tut.

Hi Terra, I was wondering if you had any damage to your entrance over halloween and would you do anything different when you make your new entrance. was it heavy enough to stand alone or between two areas or would you recommend it leaning against a sturdy wall? thanks

Great questions! No, I didn't have any damage from Halloween. Yippee!

Do anything different: I would have gone ahead and glued those foam support pieces in the back before doing all the carving and coating it in the Drylok. I kept having to brace the back of it with extra foam and I ended up gluing them on anyway.

Heavy enough to stand alone: Sort-of. You would have to build a support for it at the bottom. Another problem is that it's top-heavy so it would want to keep falling over. You'd have to also support it from the top. I guess you could build a free-standing wood frame and attach it to that.

~~ thank you ~~

Wow Terra! Another great prop! I love this and would keep it up year round!

Wow, Terra, I really really love your work... I love your videos too and the music you use in them... when I grow up, I want to be just like you... Seriously~!

You are all so very welcome
