My wife saw this on pinterest and since I had some reclaimed wood left over from another project I made it for her and she did all the painting! Now we have requests to make more for friends and family!

I'm planning to use wood frames for the garage haunt this year (most likely covered in black plastic). I had originally hoped to find 2x4s or 2x3s for cheap at Lowes or Home Depot, maybe with rejected, aged, or warped wood. However, before I get too far into the preparation, can I go thinner on...

Been working on this aff and on for a couple of months now and finally got around to ordering a wiper motor and finishing it last week. I've never built one of these or worked with wiper motors before so I made a couple of mistakes in construction that caused me to have to disassemble the prop...

In Michigan we are expecting snow flurries next week. I don't know about you but I'm sick of the frigid weather during Halloween. I'm going to embrace diversity and suck up to Global Warming like a Hoover Vacuum cleaner. I've purchased two SUV's and I'm burning multiple wood burner stoves in...

Totally unplanned, uncared for, it just very slowly.... happened, and it happened at the corner of my yard, right where most people stand to take possibly their first look at my house. 30 years ago I mounted a dirt bike into the huge dent in the side of my car, complete with skeletal bike rider...
