KYhauntfreak, your schedule is AWFUL!!! But, oh man, do I respect you for being a nurse. 
Mikie, I am looking forward to decorating again! The neighborhood boys lovvvvvvve to come over and discuss all the decorations and offer suggestions about where things should go, so will let them direct the re-do! Plus, I just ordered a 20' tall inflatable cat from GR, so had to move some things around anyway. For some reason, the TOTers in my area love those goofy looking inflatables. (No complaints from me, they're easy to put up - and take down!)

Well - the Haunted House is DESTROYED! Darn 70 MPH gusts and constant 25 - 45 MPH winds for 24 hrs can do that It is beyond repair for this year. We'll still decorate the yard and give out candy but I am just so depressed and shocked by it all. All our hard work, time and money - wasted We'll have to try to create a more "wind friendly" design for next year.

Is there any chance to piece it back together, I mean you still have two weeks. You could use a couple of skellys, put a hard hat on them with a couple of shovels and have a sign out front which says "Under Construction", just a thought. Sorry to hear that kind of news.Well - the Haunted House is DESTROYED! Darn 70 MPH gusts and constant 25 - 45 MPH winds for 24 hrs can do that
I do have some hard hats from the previous mine theme Unfortunately, my Husband helping me (meaning doing all of the construction work) has taken a toll on his studies and he has been doing poorly on his finals so I cannot ask him to ruin his chance at passing his past 3 classes before his BS degree There is too much work for one person to do with the repairing and resetting - especially with another wind storm days away Then more rain is in the forecast, too Without a top on the haunt, I cannot put up the lighting and it'll be a couple days before I can get my family organized to hit this thing all at once to take it down and try to salvage as many panels as possible. We'll be back stronger next year but I can't take any more emotional roller coaster of sleepless nights from wind damage or rain damage. I was thinking of looking into an indoor location somewhere here. We have a couple tiny strips with vacant parcels inside. Would not have to worry about a top ... just insurance Anyone ever do one in those? Any suggestions?
I forgot to mention that there is a video on the FB page and the link is in my signature if you wanna see what I got up from 2 hours sleep to :O

Sorry to hear that! Wind is still roaring here! Not much left in our yard. Either it made it inside or it's gone.
We have tumbleweed a the size of Buicks tangled in my webbing. My hands are so cut up from trying to set them loose. Can't find my gloves since everything is stored for the walkthrough.
