Ha very nice, its hard to find fellow Haunters in SD that share my passion! Ha. My idea for holding it down would be either securing it with fishing wire to a ground post, so it would be invisible to see, or maybe even digging up the ground and putting it in there! Not sure yet.Hallow!! I luv it!! I have seen similar lanterns at our local army surplus store - and in some of the camping sections of department stores. How will you weigh it down to prevent a little treater from tipping it over? It's a cool gallows design for sure! Great job! My daughter lives and works in San Diego and I'm going to invite her to be a new member of the Forum. I'll be sure to tell her she has a kindred "spirit" in SD! You have great weather for prop building - lucky you! BOO!
