| HALLOWEEN 2009 |
HAUNTED HOUSE RAMBLE
Again, this Halloween took a LOT out of me! I started building the "graveyard cattle gates,"
the monetary donation box and the Corporate Sponsor reader board on September 1st. It
took a month to build, and I never want to sand anything again! WOW, what a chore!
I started wrapping the carport in plastic on the 1st of October. It also took a week and a half
this year due to the other projects that I was still working on. Although I had more help from
more people this year, I was still working almost right up until the end because the projects
this year were much more intense than the last 2 years! Safety was a major concern, and with
all of my ideas and fabrication, a lot of time was put into making "safeguards" if something
were to fail.
I would like to thank everyone that made this event come together! If I left anyone out,
PLEASE email me so that I can give credit where credit is due! Thanks to all!
