Getting Ready For Halloween?

 Well, were working on it. In the pictures and video below is up by the firepit. Of course it's nothing great or big, but at least it's something!

See the RED eyes in the skeleton? We bought the 7' skeleton at Lowes, the 5' foot skeleton had eyes that lit up but not the 7-footer. So I had these 120 volt small red lights which I mounted in the skeletons eye sockets, worked out pretty good!

Here is the small set up we have up by the firepit.

The cobweb kind of sucks. I never was good putting cobweb up. I guess I should have moved the pvc pipe under it but from the road you probably can't see it anyways.

Here's a short video also.

You will notice we have a "fog machine" running also. So we bought a fogger and needless to say, the instructions sucked as must instructions do these days. In the instructions it tells you about how to press the switch for how long to make fog, we the switch is nothing more then an on/off switch.

At a later date we went back to Lowes and just by chance the wife seen a switch that can control the fogger, so we bought it and it works pretty good! Damn fog juice is expensive!!! I's like $26.00 for a gallon of it! 

When we first hooked up the fogger, the tank hold about 8 oz. of fog juice and that lasted for about 45 minutes!!! Holey shit! After getting the controller for the fogger, it now last for 4 hours, of course we only have it putting out fog for about 5 seconds, and to fog just a little over a minute. So just over a minutes time it will come on and shoot fog for 5 seconds.

Ok, you can make your own fog juice which I did and I don't think it's worth the time or trouble. In the end what it cost and get a good long lasting fog, you my as well just buy a gallon of it. What I made up would maybe be ok indoors like a haunted house or something, but outside the fog didn't hang around very long.

I bout a small bottle of stuff to make my fog juice and I'm wonder how much I'll have to add. The bottle was only 6 oz. and it calls for a cup of that stuff to 5 cups of water a 5/1 ratio. So adding 5 cups of water would be more water then I needed for only a 6 oz bottle of stuff. Also as a final note, they don't recommend using homemade fog juice. So I did one, but I'll buy it from now on.

We also have a few things at the front of the house, I might post a picture or video of it then.

If you wonder why I don't post more, it because I don't think anyone reads this stuff, at least I never get a comment of any kind, good or bad. If I knew people or at least someone was reading my post I might post more often. :-)
