2020 Thanksgiving

Turned some Jacks around, added an inflatable turkey, and painted/glittered "Give Thanks" on the back of the singing pumpkins.


The seams that are visible are PVC pipes that is bolted to the plywood. Rebar that has been pounded into the hay is inside the pipe. 


Halloween 2020

 

2020's graveyard is a success in the new yard.  ATMOSFX's Jack-o-Lantern Jamboree was added. Three quarter inch pumpkins were created to use as a screen for the projection. A Mira Culous Dae tombstone hides the projector. The RIP in the front of the base acts as a vent for the heat. The other new tombstone is Cara Mel Apple. Both were covered with Exterior Foam Coat. It worked as promised. The tombstones are very strong; almost stone-like, but they are heavier than expected. Also, the finish is more sand covered than smooth. 



Three new Jack-o-Lanterns were carved by family and friends.  The stack of three jacks that I found at a thrift store were pained with new orange and black glitter was glued in the eyes and mouths. 



The fogger worked for one night. A new pump has been ordered; hopefully a how to replace a fog machine pump is coming. 


The trunk stopped working. A brace was added to the lid to give the armature a place to attach and make the lid open more. A short string of cool white lights was moved from the treasure level to inside the lid. Warm white lights will add a more golden light.
