Gone Feral In Idaho

I spent most of the day working in the last three headstones for this year.  Two hours of dremelling, lots of sanding, and four hours of painting.  They aren't finished, but are drying overnight and I will add the last finishing touches for this year.  Tomorrow I will get the four spotlights I have and check them, set them up and ready the headstones for set up.   I also finished sealing the fog chiller.  That will get a couple of coats of flat black tomorrow.

The grate in place before cutting it for the interior intake pipe. The next step was cutting the 2 inch PVC pipe sett...

... which girl got a new fog machine today?  >>> This girl :) Now I'm reading up on fog chillers:) I also got a bulk box of unimbossed paper towels from Costco, a can of flat black latex paint, and a plastic rat from the (BOO!) Spirit store. Next up, a ton of cheesecloth, and black dye! Happy haunting!
