[witchy poo]

Oh my, that's such a shame. Mother Nature can be brutal.

 

[GobbyGruesome]

Ooof! That's horrible! Impressed by your resolve though - sounds like you're taking it mostly in stride. Hope the weather is better for you hear on out. (Looks like your skeleton is totally prepared to ride things out!)

 

[6-paq]

Oh my goodness!! So sorry!!

 

[Boone6666]

I'm trying to take it as it is but a lot of time already into it, this is what it did look like

 

[GobbyGruesome]

Whoa! That looks fantastic! Love the lights!

 

[Boone6666]

the two on the ends now have to be either replaced or fixed hmm what to do

 

[Skelly215]

Wow, what bad luck! It was so impressive before the weather got to it, so I hope you are able to get it repaired in time for the big day.

So sorry man for the step backward on that project. Absolutely love where you are going with it. Very cool look including the lighting and faux exposed brick. Hey thankfully you grabbed a photo before it came down. Do you think you can rescue any of your crypt drawers?

So out of curiosity did this give you any insight as to how to anchor something like this? I would like to have some facades panels when I do my carnival and know I've been toying around what best ways to anchor them to other structures or fencing to prevent just what happend to you. And better now in the planning stages than halloween night for sure.

I wonder if it would have helped on the panels if you had air pass thru areas designed in somehow to the overall layout. I'll be checking back to see what suggestions facade builders have for you.

[Palladino]

so sorry about your facade Do you have anymore pics? This is pretty close to what I had envisioned in my head.

 

[Boone6666]

I had planes on anchoring the columns but as this was just to see how it came together, and I was not expecting the winds yet I did not do so because I'm moving it out in front of the fence but It dose make me think if even I do anchor the columns would the wind blow through the sty crypt façade ?? it will be back up against the fence and I will tie the upper corners of the columns to it too, thanks all for your concern I think if I get some good weather and some day's off I can get it fixed
any thoughts on what you might do different tried tea staining it but that did not go so well

 

[kittyvibe]

owch! sorry to see that after pic. The before pic is stunning, hopefully you can get it fixed/rebuilt. Who knows, maybe having it slightly more dented will add to its look?

 

[katshead42]

That's so terrible. I wish that wouldn't have happened to you.

 

[screamqueen2012]

oh man thats just terrible....well if anything good is out of this its august and i know you'll get it fixed...

Man I can feel your pain. My and my wife's anniversary is 10/18 so for our first one we decided to take off for the weekend and go to Universal Studios Hollywood. They called us while we were gone we at 80 MPH winds that swept through our town one day and my haunted house with 9 days till Halloween was almost a complete loss. We worked hard and got it up and open with just a few minutes to spare. I'll send some positive building thoughts your way.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these haunters from the scary completion of their Halloween Haunts.

Happy Hauntings
Matthew
