Arr there be pirates here.


Tonight we worked on a bunch of stuff including getting sound and our pirate flag and sail up. 
I was having a hard time getting outdoor speakers that worked the way I wanted.  I bought s
ome but then ended up not being loud enough, as luck would have it, there was a very old loud speaker in my parents basement that my grandpa had given them like 30 years ago. It kinda looks like this,  but it ended up working perfectly, so I was really happy
 about that.  I made up a pirate soundtrack on my computer and let it rip.   

Next it was time to work on the
 sail. I had an old black drop cloth and some left over pieces of our Halloween fence, put them together with a little kite string for the rigging and your done. 














Now its time to raise the Jolly Roger. 


As of October 5th here is what the front of our haunted house looks like.  Check back soon for more updates.  


The graveyard



What haunted house would be complete with out a graveyard for its ghosts to haunt. I put this up while melissa was still at work to surprise her.   Some guys give flowers, I give headstones, and melissa couldn't be happier.
