I instantly said "wow how can I make this?" I remembered a few weeks/months ago (not sure which) reading this <a href="http://www.homehauntnews.com/issues/march-2013/view/#/4/">tutorial</a>. So I think I've just added this one to my project list :) I believe I can do this one fairly quickly...like maybe in a morning... so I'll post pictures when it's finished :)UnkleSatanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17833600541949532002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794739919031586597.post-5910183562444765312013-06-11T06:21:00.000-07:002013-06-11T06:21:11.276-07:00It's Alive!!!!!!
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
So it's been 578 days or 1 year and 7
months or 82 weeks and 4 days or about 832,320 minutes or about
49,939,200 seconds since I last posted a blog. A lot has happened
since then. Let's see, where to start... well we moved for one
thing...not far mind you but a move is a move and they're all pretty
terrible... with that my yard haunt “Empty Grave Acres” saw it's
last Halloween last year... But fear not, this year is a new year and
I have a much bigger yard so we'll see what comes about... Also, I
now have 2 teenagers enjoying themselves while navigating the
treacherous waters of high school and a middle schooler who...well,
let's just say he's maneuvering just fine so far... I've been
promoted twice since my last post and I believe my wife changed jobs
(same job different hospital) but I'm not sure that fits the
timeline... Oh, and I finally got to meet the Mitchell's from
<a href="http://www.howtohauntyourhouse.com/">How to Haunt Your House</a>. (Which if you all remember was one of my main reasons for moving
here...lol)
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I've decided that I'm going to change
this blog from being only focused on my yard haunt to also include
just general weirdness that I like... so I hope that you don't
mind.... I figure this way I'll probably post a lot more often...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
But for now I'll talk about my yard :)
I am renaming the haunt since we are no longer at the same location
but I have yet to decide on what I will call it... And I need to work
on a back story but what I have decided is that I will focus mostly
this year on new tombstones and a Mausoleum... I figure with the way
that I procrastinate I should be able to at the very least pull that
off... I will recycle the stones I've been using, maybe retouch them
(because a few are several years old) and then hopefully add 10 –
15 more...maybe even get a few statues in the mix, but doubtful... I
am getting the halloween itch so who knows what I'll do between now
and then... anyhow...I'm back and I'll be posting more often now :)</div>

It was a huge hit on Halloween. the moment is very subtle, depending on when you looked at it you knew something was odd, and then you really saw the "breathing" movement.

I can't believe that we're down to 22 day's already!!!! So last night my lovely wife Jen was outside taking some pictures of the yard. I have been adding the finishing touches to my reaper statue... added some spanish moss and changed the lantern mostly. <br />
I hacked the wal-mart hurricane lantern so that it actually has a flicker candle in it, and I "aged" the glass globe. I haven't put the fog machines out or anything like that yet.<br />
Here's two of the pictures that she took last night:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So this coming weekend, I have two projects to build/complete and some fine tuning of the lighting etc. At Viv's suggestion, I am going to make a gibbet and hang it and my Wal-greens corpse from a tree. And I almost have all the parts for my breathing grave. so I still have a ton to do :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I hope everyone is having an awesome October, and I'll keep you posted on my progress!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">~ Happy Haunting!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Bill</div>UnkleSatanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17833600541949532002noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794739919031586597.post-78972312139869942172011-09-28T06:26:00.001-07:002011-10-03T10:06:40.197-07:00So with only 33 days …Until Halloween, I have started another prop. Well, actually I started it this past weekend. One of the things I've always liked that other home haunts have (or have variations of) is the Monster Mud reapers. Before I had discovered the haunts that have became my inspiration and idols (of sorts) I had seen a picture of something called "the Watchman". It was a hooded figure holding a lantern much in the style of the <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Pleurant (Weeper) </span>statues. (For a great blog post on these go to <a href="http://midnightinthegardenofevil.blogspot.com/2011/09/mourners.html">this post.</a> I just recently started following <a href="http://midnightinthegardenofevil.blogspot.com/">Midnight in the Garden of Evil's blog</a>, and I think all of you should as well <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> ) I believe I first saw it around 2007 or 2008. In fact I saved the pictures to my computer and told Jen that one day I would build one of my own. So finally I did …<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjN5f06KWO8w9t3BQSeX9C1FoN9POkHxQTN9JAFO0bwis89fGJAaF_xQk_fYgEcCtK6KcI0QzgvrxY4Hjhk-Q-oq2xwz_TMi9ZPBA4NDwkfwh0uawFjUDml6OdsHORC-V90dqYp7wlDJyh/s1600/mm_reaper1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjN5f06KWO8w9t3BQSeX9C1FoN9POkHxQTN9JAFO0bwis89fGJAaF_xQk_fYgEcCtK6KcI0QzgvrxY4Hjhk-Q-oq2xwz_TMi9ZPBA4NDwkfwh0uawFjUDml6OdsHORC-V90dqYp7wlDJyh/s320/mm_reaper1.jpg" width="171" /></a></div>First, I apologize for the poor quality of the picture. (I am the first to admit that I suck at taking pictures.) I haven't completely finished him yet. I still need to slap another coat of Monster mud on him, then do some painting/highlighting, and accessorize him.<br />
Here's some of the build pictures …<br />

So finally I made a new prop. This year has been extremely trying on me in regards to life just not wanting to co-operate with my plans. So finally in the middle of September I made a new prop. As I've stated before, I tend not to go towards the gore but I've wanted to do this one for a while now. So here's the story:<br />
<br />
Last Friday while taking Viv to school, we (Jen, Viv, and I) snuck off to waffle house for breakfast. Then after we had to stop by Wal-greens. Well, I found 2 of these guys hanging out:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ3bpBR_Q_Woj5EBp7vFUZ26U6LAobBHQiDTEV22nHqjBJxiUokkdrD5AglntP2SeJ9WxfVUkX95oKIOyujGXPfSE596SUNRwPAufX8fo9LlUIQfmFfTsx90b0W1oKZNezpham4mEHoaP7/s1600/100_8177.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ3bpBR_Q_Woj5EBp7vFUZ26U6LAobBHQiDTEV22nHqjBJxiUokkdrD5AglntP2SeJ9WxfVUkX95oKIOyujGXPfSE596SUNRwPAufX8fo9LlUIQfmFfTsx90b0W1oKZNezpham4mEHoaP7/s320/100_8177.JPG" width="202" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>So it's a "life-size" at 5 ft. (yes it is bigger than Kate) and it only cost me $30 a piece. I bought the only two that they had. Over on the <a href="http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/108425-walgreens-full-size-skeleton-30-a.html">Halloween Forum</a> they posted a thread on these guys and someone shared a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/StiltbeastStudios#p/u/4/69p2EyS-5qk">link to this guy's tutorial on using plastic to corpse a skeleton</a> . So I decided to give it a try. Like this guy I am way too lazy for the method that uses liquid latex and cotton...lol... <br />
So here it starts:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzkrF6zo8eapzu9NuCOkqhSQuelohmQ8U3tAPk0Xn7qRurRinQYhZvxhDItL2HgqLngOWO4f1g-OhKy8PgkOpMuD7hNyrmnKu_fUH1vfoDsiKVZbxjd2uqtzcEM4Sqp0tdizwm0fLLvKP0/s1600/100_8166.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzkrF6zo8eapzu9NuCOkqhSQuelohmQ8U3tAPk0Xn7qRurRinQYhZvxhDItL2HgqLngOWO4f1g-OhKy8PgkOpMuD7hNyrmnKu_fUH1vfoDsiKVZbxjd2uqtzcEM4Sqp0tdizwm0fLLvKP0/s320/100_8166.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I know; I know… I have so neglected my blog this year, but I have a good excuse. So I was still working away on Halloween props after the New Year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So come February I decided to take a short break from Halloween. I had planned on starting back up in April but then April came along and I was like…no I’ll start at the end of May or beginning of June. Well then the unfortunate occurrence of being unemployed happened. That meant I could not spend money on Halloween at all. It took me about a month and a half to find a job (and my wife has even went back to work at the hospital). So now that school has started back up, and we’re both working, I can finally start on some projects. On my list for this year are a mausoleum and maybe a few more tombstones. I know…it’s not that ambitious but hopefully next year will be much, much better…. Last year I had seen where someone had made a creepy cradle tombstone for a baby, and I wanted to “copy” that but I think I have found a better one. I saw this picture on a cemetery photography site and said to myself “this one I must make.” </span><br />

I'm taking a break from my Halloween obsession until April. unlike most haunters I kept going after Halloween. (Usually we tend to take a break through November and December.) This is to prevent burnout ect. I will be back with progress on this year's haunt in April. Until then I think I will continue practicing my new hobby of Magic tricks...I am such a kid....lol<br />

Barrancas. Some of you may remember that back in August, Gavin took a picture while walking around Ft. Barrancas and it had what appears to be a person standing down a hallway. (For that post go <a href="http://unklesatan.blogspot.com/2010/08/ghosts-at-ft-barrancas.html">here</a>.) Well last Saturday we took Jen's mom and brother out to the fort. While we were there walking around Jen kept saying that she felt like we were being followed and watched. (We were actually the only people at the fort because they were getting ready to lock up for the day.) She was taking pictures (like she always does) and she spun around real quick and took a shot from the way we were coming. (In fact if you compare the picture from august to this one it is the same corrider.) A few days later she was going through the pictures and she saw something. Note: the only thing she did to these pictures was adjust the lighting and contrast. (She also zoomed in a bit on one)....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGWHCebCQYpJLql8DAFw7-2TCQMP14Yu2E0u-sjWSjPe5SSh_1QPPRtvmgcii_0VdXUevXwdcq9k6MfRYlEEkiNYYPSJPXwmgOlJT0SS3NYHeE2CURKG-4ODDpWI4Dwf8zlWO9UIQx3bxN/s1600/fort+face+bw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGWHCebCQYpJLql8DAFw7-2TCQMP14Yu2E0u-sjWSjPe5SSh_1QPPRtvmgcii_0VdXUevXwdcq9k6MfRYlEEkiNYYPSJPXwmgOlJT0SS3NYHeE2CURKG-4ODDpWI4Dwf8zlWO9UIQx3bxN/s320/fort+face+bw.jpg" width="250" /></a></div>In this one she saw someting down the corrider. If you look at the upper right of the corrider you see some "discoloration" in the picture. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjokGVR0U0HaxDbHiQjmsokCJGz8mm_A6wQf7K5jNoYucM3oMLMEA-ZNePngXJ_rz6vFhVi3bT-s2DTal9dzT2kIjytyQX3Z_FdrSQool-NCOD48-xr-othdJatp7l0LJ3EegrBaSBy2qg/s1600/fort+facebw1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjokGVR0U0HaxDbHiQjmsokCJGz8mm_A6wQf7K5jNoYucM3oMLMEA-ZNePngXJ_rz6vFhVi3bT-s2DTal9dzT2kIjytyQX3Z_FdrSQool-NCOD48-xr-othdJatp7l0LJ3EegrBaSBy2qg/s320/fort+facebw1.jpg" width="194" /></a></div>In this one she adjusted the contrast and the lighting. If you look closely it appears to be a face of some kind.<br />
<br />

I have no doubt that that is a face looking back at us. We've taken the picture and zoomed in even more and it appears to be wearing a robe or a dress. We have briefly mentioned the original picture to the park rangers there and they told us that many people "feel" that there is something in that part of the fort, specifically in that corrider. I'll let you decide if you think that is a spirit looking back... I know that's exactly what I think it is.<br />
Tonight we're taking a candle lit tour of the fort. It is the anniversary of the Fort joining the civil war. Maybe we'll see this spirit again....<br />
Happy Haunting!!!!<br />

Corpse making has been something I have wanted to try, but I have never really had the time to do it. <br />
I was browsing on the <a href="http://www.halloweenforum.com/product-reviews/81990-build-your-own-scratch-built-corpse-dvd.html">Halloween Forum</a> and I came across this post. I then went to <a href="http://www.monstercloset.com/">The Monster Closet</a> and saw that the DVD was only $14.95 plus shipping (for a total of $19.90) I thought "well, for under $20 even if it sucks I can take the risk." I am so glad I did.<br />
Here is Christian Hanson's bio (taken from his website): <br />
<br />
Christian Hanson has had an interest in makeup effects since childhood, and became a serious student of the craft in the late '90s. He is the creator, designer and administrator of The Monster Lab, a popular online forum for FX artists (no longer online). He is currently working in the art/fabrication department of museum outfitter and design firm, sculpting animals and creating realistic environmental and educational displays. Over 2007, he invented a new process for creating corpse props and teamed up with filmmaker Sam Thompson to produce "Make Your Own Scratch Built Corpse" DVD. Make sure to check the "News" section for current work and updates. With each project, he aspires to the highest quality of realism, design and craftsmanship. Christian lives in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota.<br />
The DVD is of professional quality. It appears to be an actual DVD not pressed from a home publisher. The film quality is excellant. I had a question after I ordered it and within hours my e-mail was answered. So a thumbs up on customer service. The techniques that are discussed are ones that I have not seen before (and believe me I have scoured the internet and forums looking) and they are very clearly described and demonstrated. The dialogue between the cast on the movie is a bit cheesy, but for the information you get from the DVD it is easily over looked. <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Here is the preview video that they have: </div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/klVa6uaqwtk?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Ok, so here's the bottom line: This DVD is awesome. Even if you don't plan on making a corpse from it, the information given can easily go into other projetcs. I believe this is one of the must haves for haunters and for the price you really can't go wrong. Go get you a copy while you can.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Happy Haunting!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">~Bill</div>UnkleSatanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17833600541949532002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794739919031586597.post-60709877028576428282010-12-31T16:33:00.000-08:002010-12-31T16:34:27.065-08:00As promisedhere is the picture that my wonderful kids got me for Christmas...<br />

This is the first & only one I have. the seller said it was a woman in her wedding dress. I think he may have been mistaken though. I did some research and it seems that in that part of the world they often will bury someone in white (much like the "dresses" that people wear for baptism, first communion, confirmation, etc.) So it would be reasonable to think that this was such a case. Of course that is nowhere near as interesting to a buyer as saying it's a dead bride.<br />
I am actually trying to find post-mortem pictures from around 1865 - 1915. The ones that they posed the deceased and then took pictures with them as if they were still alive. I know, one might say that is a bit weird, but that's only because we feel death is a taboo. Anyhow, I promised I would share the pic....<br />
Happy Haunting!!!!<br />

She so enables my obsession at times. See she knows that for next years haunt I am not only doing the outside of the house but I am also planning on doing the front room as well. And part of what I am doing involves <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-mortem_photography">Post-mortem photography or Momento Mori</a>. (Click the link for info on this topic). This book is chock full of the things... I'll post a review of it as soon as I can...Also she helped the kids pick out and purchase an original Death portrait for me. (Yes, even my kids enable my obbsession.) Is it wrong that my two 13 year olds and soon to be 10 year old see nothing wrong with buying me a picture of a dead person??? So yeah, I believe I have the best family ever. Those that truely know me also know I honestly HATE the Christmas season, but I do have to say that this Christmas is in my top 10 days of my life (so far). The kids this year made it awesome:) </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">I did get some other cool stuff...a wood burner with 4 tips (which will also be used on next years haunt), an awesome cast iron skull bottle opener, and maybe my favorite gift of all a ukelele...

Jen decided that whether I wanted to or not she was going to take me through the North Hill district of Pensacola. She's been trying to show me the houses there for months, but I have been giving tons of excuses like they don't have big front yards... or I'm too tired... While we were riding around through one of the neighborhoods, out of no where appeared a huge overgrown cemetery. It was like they just built the road right through the middle. Unfortunately at the time it was really cold and we didn't have the camera, so we went home. After the sun came up a bit more and all the kids were up, we returned to the cemetery to "explore" and take pictures... here are a few that Jen took....<br />

There were a lot of graves that were just unmarked or simply the names were "drawn" into cement as it was drying. I think though I'll be able to use this as some "direction" for aging some of my tombstone projects.<br />
Until next time...Happy Haunting!!!<br />

When we go visit the older cemeteries, we always see graves for youngsters all over the place with the dates in the 1800's. So I decided to give the Rott's an infant son....Willy<br />
So today I made Willy's gravestone:<br />

I suck at it. Normally that would not be an issue; however, since my yard looks the coolest at night with the lights and the smoke, it does tend to cause me issues with sharing what my yard looks like.

I am pleased with it so far. He ditched me after we got the top built, so I had to paint it. I did the opposite of what we did to the sides... I sprayed the entire top with a base coat of white and I let it dry. Then instead of using a roller I sprayed the entire top with a coat of black and used the hose on mist to "wash away" the paint. Here I am washing it away:<br />

The next few shots are of me putting it in the yard. I modified the "plan" for the crypt by putting pvc tubes on the inside to hold the rebar so the crypt is more secure.<br />

Our camera takes really crappy night pictures so I am working on getting a good shot to post.<br />
So the inspiration for this is from the Mitchell's new book "How to Haunt your House Book 2" page 20. I suggest you guys go and grab you a copy ASAP (so you can make cool stuff too!!!!)<br />
More to come......Happy Haunting!!!!!<br />

<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Well, as I said in a previous post, Gavin (my 9 year old son) is working on the Tomb Cover from How to Haunt Your House Book 2 (by Shawn & Lynne Mitchell). Here's his progress... We should be completely finished by the weekend, I think we'll be finished sooner...</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">We've measured the panels and he is getting ready to use a jigsaw for the very first time.We did have an ambulance on stand by just in case... </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicBRybArfexD-vo-OIQKHUvRBITjr49xFj1t7ffRmocWdfvhCOq1ASKirJBI4B23yL_ToxvGhHGi2AXmf4wmOK0QcHCtycE-MD5TP6m2jnpD9CLEDYnBhFlMk9oC592KX3j6kXTdAayFgi/s1600/gavin_cutting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicBRybArfexD-vo-OIQKHUvRBITjr49xFj1t7ffRmocWdfvhCOq1ASKirJBI4B23yL_ToxvGhHGi2AXmf4wmOK0QcHCtycE-MD5TP6m2jnpD9CLEDYnBhFlMk9oC592KX3j6kXTdAayFgi/s320/gavin_cutting.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Here he is actually cutting. He did an excellant job. I was very proud of him... in fact, we were able to dismiss the rescue squad that was on stand by.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQu3wi13e3H2eqHqIH8Rpi9vKtaHcKr2E5ouoThPKcPS-QpBUQJM1rU74v_axaKzTCu7-zpVepMY081prHzWIKB8LudjKRJtAvRUEZmLMm04ReUQc_dx67alHgVVD3ls8hWTXH10jYKQ-/s1600/gavin_cutting2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiQu3wi13e3H2eqHqIH8Rpi9vKtaHcKr2E5ouoThPKcPS-QpBUQJM1rU74v_axaKzTCu7-zpVepMY081prHzWIKB8LudjKRJtAvRUEZmLMm04ReUQc_dx67alHgVVD3ls8hWTXH10jYKQ-/s320/gavin_cutting2.jpg" width="209" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I drew some lines on the wall panels, and gave him the dremel tool. I told him to trace the lines. I also said they did not have to be perfect... again, surprisingly, no one had to go to the emergency room.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsKq1Em8BYbREDEH2YNylmnM3LqNCp_0XhyvGqw4vaKspm8DNvJUmJy258Fv7JERRbsLrZMd6gPxdV7xToIiORp4-t1I0asejO7D49PEUzvPJ9XplvrXa9cFHS_8mM6djg8BAab7d9JPwR/s1600/gavin_detailing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsKq1Em8BYbREDEH2YNylmnM3LqNCp_0XhyvGqw4vaKspm8DNvJUmJy258Fv7JERRbsLrZMd6gPxdV7xToIiORp4-t1I0asejO7D49PEUzvPJ9XplvrXa9cFHS_8mM6djg8BAab7d9JPwR/s320/gavin_detailing.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After he dremeled the lines, he took a wire brush to make them a little more "crack-like".<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_9ly9bEb1j0Q_7_xbBDo1cMupKtsxaUUiv1bERMJXhFIs4zVagFzgwY4o4BxFQRTey-9SADyPOtID2OxiWpsmgfNgPI4_Z37se7FMR1WPAEgUocPdl_dOKT84FoglXApr_GNov-otMN7E/s1600/gavin_detailing2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_9ly9bEb1j0Q_7_xbBDo1cMupKtsxaUUiv1bERMJXhFIs4zVagFzgwY4o4BxFQRTey-9SADyPOtID2OxiWpsmgfNgPI4_Z37se7FMR1WPAEgUocPdl_dOKT84FoglXApr_GNov-otMN7E/s320/gavin_detailing2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
So this is one of the panels ready for painting. I didn't take a pic of it but we primed it with Monster Mud and then sprayed the entire panel black.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div> After the black base coat dried, we went outside. I read somewhere about a technique for weathering where you roll a lighter color over the black and then use a hose to "wash away the top layer". this is what we were trying...<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Here Gavin is spraying the panel with water. I think he did a great job so far. For me the jury is still out on this technique. I'll make a decision after we've finished. We still have a few more details to add the the panels..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGk6k3myrZRvNM_oUG9magPlHUGAhLCzq4rqs1ZWPQGrJgoLcnLbtzOU0THNPXasiar_C3lT5j1quczm4eXZUQmd-6P6ImzuFMD8pynsw6Ho7BsmG2BcyukBCS80W3mgrHnmUl3xDUZL6t/s1600/gavin+weathering+wall+of+crpyt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGk6k3myrZRvNM_oUG9magPlHUGAhLCzq4rqs1ZWPQGrJgoLcnLbtzOU0THNPXasiar_C3lT5j1quczm4eXZUQmd-6P6ImzuFMD8pynsw6Ho7BsmG2BcyukBCS80W3mgrHnmUl3xDUZL6t/s320/gavin+weathering+wall+of+crpyt.jpg" width="288" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I was so excited to get it. <br />
This book is a professionally put together product. I know I've ranted before on how I dislike the home publisher jobs we get all too often. the pictures are detailed and clear (and large enough that you can actually see them). This is what I've come to expect from these two authors. <br />
So to the "meat and potatoes" of the book. I think all of the projects that are in this volume are explained in enough detail that a novice can be successful in completing them. In fact, my 10 year old son is working on one of them now. (Page 20 "Tomb Cover") All of the steps are clearly outlined. The only thing that might have been helpful for my son would have been measurements and quantities. However, for our purposes we would have probably adjusted the dimensions anyway. To be honest that is really the only negative I could find, and that isn't really a negative is it?<br />
As with Book 1, this volume gets you thinking of ways to do things that you may not have thought of before. My wife calls it a more "artsy" way of haunting. that it seems to hint of theatrical scene design techniques. I would still like to see a DVD companion to this series. <br />
I highly recommend this book to every home haunter. the argument is always why purchase a book when a lot of techniques are available for free on the internet? My answer is simple... these are tried and true methods that produce top quality results... Support your fellow home haunters and go out and get a copy of How to Haunt your House Book 2>>><br />
Happy Haunting!!!!<br />
