Cemetery Columns Part III
Some extra joint compound and some sanding done the other day to add some more definition. These are now ready to prime for painting. I've attached some pics too of some 'skeleton sconces' which will be placed on the front of the columns.

Cemetery Columns Part II
Started the Cemetery columns this past weekend. The stone pattern was made by skim coating the column with joint compound and running my finger through it while wet to make the 'mortar joints'. Next up is priming and then painting!

New Project - Cemetery Columns
Here's the plan -- build a frame using 2x2 stock sheathed in 1/2" OSB. Next, add some trim detail to top and bottom, with the top detail and cap using extruded foam board to save on weight. To make the stonework I plan on covering the OSB with spackle/joint compound and then 'carve' out the mortar joints to get depth. Then I'll seal and paint the whole thing to weather proof it and get the right aged look.
Still deciding what to put between the columns, but I'm leaning towards a gate constructed out of PVC similar in style to the existing fence.

PVC Candles Phase II
I really liked how the PVC candles I made two years ago turned out. So I'm making more this year. These will be 'antiqued' with some black paint and placed outside in the graveyard. Making these is super easy, PVC + Hot Glue + Cardboard + LED Tea Light.
Giant Spider Project
New for this year is a giant spider. When complete it will measure ~6-7 feet and will be hoisted up to a web that is somewhere around 14 feet. It will be one of those fat and nasty brown furry spiders that freak everyone out.

Been messing around with the format of the website, you know, installing new cobwebs and stuff.

And here are the photos from the big night. The fog was awesome this year due to the rain earlier in the day.
