halloween

[Scuba_Dave]

I'm going to buy some wire & rewire the foggers:

Well, 5 foggers, and most wired remotes are too short
Visual effects V-920 600w fogger has 26' of wire with the hard wired remote. That means I can run it into the house & trigger when people are at/near the door

I have one Target (?) "heshan" 400w fogger w/6 foot hard wired remote
This can be fired at will or left on & it will fog when it has reheated. Not a very long reheat, produces pretty good fog. It has 18-3 wire, I may buy 30' of wire & extend it, or leave it as is & let it fog when it reheats

I have (3) Lite f/x 1200w constant foggers:
They use a din attachment for the wired remote - much like the old bulky keyboard plugs. Only 3 of the connections are used on the plug - only 3 wires. The wire is marked PVC insulated wire RVV 105 (degree) 300/500v GA 306.1-2001

Haven't seen a remote for these. I'm thinking of finding some wire & extending the wired remotes. Since the wire is very small gauge this shouldn't cost that much - it's smaller then 18 gauge

The wife asked me if I had more then 2 foggers....duck & bob!!

dave you better hope she never finds them all or you wil be part of the attraction inthe yard!

i should have some pics either tonight or tomorrow of some of the set up

[Scuba_Dave]

I need to make a run to Home Depot

I only keep 2 foggers in plain view at a time

I look at them, open them up...then hide them
I think she knows I have more then 2, just not sure how many more

I ran the jacuzzi bathtub electric feeds last night, all set to go
Maybe that will distract her

well here are a few pics of the entrence way , the skulls ( part of them) and a few props still stored and waiting to come out in my neighbors gararge

[Scuba_Dave]

Wow, you've got some nice stuff
I like the sign.
I need a garage built before I can get into too much DIY stuff

[Scuba_Dave]

Well I've planned out my circuits for the foggers
Adding the 2 new outside outlets gives me 60a available

Circuit #1 Total 1807w out of 2400w available
207w of decorations/lights, 1200w fogger, 400w fogger

Circuit #2 Total 1763w out of 2400w available
563w of decorations/lights, 1200w fogger

Circuit #3 Total 2150w out of 2400w available
350w of decorations/lights, 1200w fogger, 600w fogger

Let 'er rip!!! 5,720w on these 3 circuits
Then I have some other decorations, window candles on other normal circuits maybe 400w

that sign is 1/4 ply. i cut it out and painted it. bolted to angle iron. that tombstone with the skeleton is pneumatic!. using a screen door closure..

Geez Butch for what they spent on all this stuff you could put one of those big boy 900 cc'ish KTM's in the stable.

[Scuba_Dave]

I haven't really spent that much. I'm waiting until after Halloween to buy what' left. Unless of course they mark stuff down before hand - very possible

The foggers were $15 each for 4, $40 for the "good" one
So only $100, I've spent much more on a night out
The 4 inflatables were probably just over $100 - maybe $150
Just looked out & the skull was nodding back & forth in the wind

Future forecast on the 29th - scattered showers- maybe around 50 as a high
Going down to mayeb 40 at night

Iam suppose to have 60's!!!!!!!!

[Scuba_Dave]

Wind was blowing pretty good last night
My blow-up skeleton & rope ligts went out
Must be fuses as other stuff on the same feed was still on
Only one gravestone blew down - same one that keep sblowing down.
Doesn't matter how securely I put it in the ground
I have stakes behind each gravestone - so they can't blow back & forth too much - doesn't help on this one. It must be cursed

Perry, I think, for the money that the 950 Adventure costs, I'm going to look at the BMW's first.
