Thanks Everyone!
Thomas, I don't think we could find a trim carpenter that would be willing to set his ladder against a home with such a scary reputation!
This one was fun, for several reasons. As many of you know, my wife loves this kind of stuff, so she has gotten a haunted house for Christmas over the past several years (or for Halloween, which is her big holiday of the year). They were the excellent designs from Ray Keim's web site that I re-scaled to HO. She has been on me to design one for her. So, here is the George designed spooky house! A slight re-working of the farm house my Aunt and Uncle(s) lived in, this will be one of her presents this year.
There are some changes I will make if I end up doing another one; like adding side and corner trim to give it a more 'realistic' appearance. And I think I would like to add an apparition of some sort in one of the windows.
Well, after eating a big Thanksgiving meal, this is how I spent the rest of my day off. As far as I'm concerned, it don't get any better!
Hope you all had a Great Day!
George
