Here is the naked house stripped from all its Halloween stuff. :o

 

The black backdrop was 3 rolls of plastic scene setters (Stars and Planets)

 

That was a pain in the @$$ to do and it is the one thing I will never do again.

 

Who all is going through Post Halloween Depression?? :mellow:

 

Me..... :(

What??? :o

That's your house? Oh my, it does look naked. ;)

Nice house though.

 

I too am going thru PHD but I ease the pain by playing Elm Street sequence while testing my Christmas lights :D .

Tore down my large UFO yesterday due to it was just too large to store or move for the potential upcoming move to the Hill Country of Texas.

 

As I tore it down and took the lights and controller off of it, I heard Taps in the distance...... :mellow:

Well it is official. The West's Lights will be off for 2014.

 

Sold the house and moving to Austin at the end of the month.

 

Renting a home for a year while we search out for our forever home.

 

There will be no time for programming or prop building this year due to new job and short timeline of needing to be ready to move into the REAL home when that time comes.

 

We will probably not even set up the Christmas tree this year.

 

The madness will return in 2015! B)

Wow Tracy, not even a Christmas tree? You didn't sell the Christmas spirit too did ya?

 

Sorry to hear of no show for this year. I would have to do something in the temp house. It would drive me buts to do absolutly nothing.

I might have a tombstone or two out in the yard, but I am not going to have the time for any type of production.

 

We still have the Christmas Spirit but it may just be a Charlie Brown tree in the window!

When we migrated to our forever area and were waiting for our forever home to be built a few years ago, I couldn't stand it leading up to Christmas and just cut and pasted the mini trees and a few candy canes out of my sequences and used that for the season. I don't think I could go a season without lights, my mini trees are still running just doing fades back and forth to have something other than 3 feet deep white in the front yard. Good Luck with the withdrawal symptoms, I couldn't deal with them. ;^)

My bad, i lost track of my post on here from last year :)  here is the alien head that i did last year:

It ended up being way too heavy to deal with getting up on the porch roof, so i'm redoing it this year with pegboard.  I found shorter strands of lights to work with too.  I'll be sure to post a video of the new one.

I'm looking forward to watch your 2014 videos ; 2013 was so great with the UFO theme.

Unless things have changed. Don't think there will be much going on for a 2014 video from what Tracy mentioned in an earlier post. :(

I have moved recently and we are just renting. I have all my stuff in storage and I will not be doing any kind of displays this year :(

 

But, I have bought a new laptop and I am working on ideas for next Halloween! The Madness will return in 2015!!!! :D
