An early walkthrough of Crestfallen Manor 2017

We finished up the majority of decorating for Halloween tonight. There are still a few things to do, and a few things that broke and need replacing (seems like about everything), but with a lot of rain in the forecast I wanted to get a video shot to show folks what things look like this year.
I built/rebuilt several things this year: A new obelisk tombstone (I’ve wanted an obelisk in the yard for many years), a tall statue with a clock that I named Kronos, and I completely rebuilt the shed/crypt at the back of the yard, complete with a new engraved top stone and some fancy columns patterned after some pretty creepy ones in a French church.
We also added some drainage stuff to the side yard to prevent the flooding issues we had last year, as well as new lights in the back, because why not? It’s not like we’ve got anything else going on. All told I’ve been working on this pretty much every day since August 3. It took a whole lot longer than I anticipated (as usual), but now that it’s done I’m pretty excited.
There are still a few things left to finish, but for those of you who can’t make it by the house this year, this video should give you a good idea of what we did.
