Random crap with Uno.

Just don't attend a [Sleezebag] Rally...

But what about the people who don't have a choice? I read an article claiming dozens of Secret Service members go in quarantaine after two of them were infected after Tulsa.

they get paid to take a "virus" for their charge...

A year after Trevor 2.0, 10 years after 1.0, I’m now seeing 4 different commercially available tombs from different suppliers.

On the other hand, I also see something I might just need to buy.  And I very rarely say that...

Ohhh, do tell...

What's with the arch you're not sharing here?

[Unorthodox]

Sharing here requires more effort with the whole loading to a host thing.

We're into phase 2 of TEH PLAN.  (I've purposely moved to phases instead of years, as I don't think I'll finish on year three any longer)

Trevor 2.0 was phase 1 of a total yard redesign. 

The arch is the first part of Phase 2, and there's some disagreement on the rest of phase 2.  But, the arch is going to be a right and proper ENTRANCE, which we really haven't had.   



As with Trevor, this is purposely made to be marketable when I'm done with it. The rest of phase 2 is supposed to be a fence to go with the arch, and there's where the argument begins. 

The MARKETABLE thing to do is to do the standard halloween fence:   http://www.stolloween.com/?page_id=6308

But then, I've already screwed up going pure marketable with the arch.  The standard thing to do would have been two pillars as the entrance.  But, the more I tried to make it feel like it belonged with the path and the circle, the more the arch really seemed to fit better.   

And the more I worked on the arch, the more the standard fence really seems to not feel right, and the more I've been leaning towards ruined rock wall, which presents numberous opportunities for phase 3...which I won't be sharing concept art of just yet, only the immediate family has seen pieces of that. 

I will say the arch was up for all of 30 minutes or so, but it was getting a big reaction from those that saw it.  Progress pics on more Halloween oriented locations got some expected reactions:  A mix of those who are REALLY bothered that the arch is not perfect, and those that really love how the imperfection seems to give it an age. 

And overall, I find this boring, so it's slow going.  Though Talia and I stumbled on a way to speed it up, I think. 

[Rusty Edge]

Cool. I agree with the concept.


Although...there is a part of me that would like to see a pair of pillars with Uno monsters perched on them just because I like to see Uno monsters.

[E_T]

Maybe one Wrapped around the arch or perched on top?

or alcoves for Pumpkins?

[Unorthodox]

I said we're not discussing phase 3.  Though you guys know me well. 

A local professional haunt, knowing my penchant for this, has already offered to buy the arch after I'm done with it.  I have not agreed yet, as I'm seriously debating making it all a 'set' with the intention of making a really big score in a couple years to move on to the 'retirement' plan. 

[Unorthodox]

Ohhh, do tell...

It's supposed to go official on August 1st, and until I see the actual cost and dimensions I cannot be sure, but there appears to be a house sized skeleton (~10'-12' by the preview pics) available.  If it actually is, I'm seeing it as a base for a new cropper/mother hybrid.

Hmmm
