Had way too many other posts before...and not enough time to maintain them.
This may become sporadic, since I try to spend every spare moment working on our display, which makes it harder to update posts. We've got 4 out of 5 rooms in the garage built. Some minor decorating touches remain to be done on the first 4 rooms, and of course we will add characters closer to Halloween. Here are some views of interior walls, it is impossible to get a full picture of the inside of the greenhouse as there is no room to stand back far enough to take one...perhaps when we are done using workbenches for tools I will have the necessary room. The tree was the brain child of Christine and Amanda and I worked on completely it during the week. I have to repaint the hill line to the left of the tree to make it look right. The pink foam walls you see are the outside of the greenhouse. We had to wall in above the roof line to prevent the bright light inside the greenhouse from spilling out into the darker area of the cemetary. The space between the front of the garage and the pink walls will be enclosed to become Dolores Umbridge's office, the outside of which will be the caboose and exit from the display.
We have re-used drywall and some studs from last year, but had to purchase many more studs and lots of pink foam board to be able to put up walls this year. Went from 2 rooms to 5, plus all of the actual garage walls are being foamed or drywalled up too.
