Little bit o' work mixed with a little bit o' fun today. Will pick up work on celings for the East and South sides, and finish the concealment wall for the Thunder Hall lighting. This afternoon I will visit the Bloodshed Brothers for a pre-tour of their haunted attraction 'The Final Resting Place' also right here in Temecula. They did an awesome job on their haunt last year, so I am definitely looking forward to checking out what they are up to and hopefully learning a little something from it. http://www.thebloodshedbrothers.com/ This evening I will meet back up with the Bloodshed Brothers and the Hauntmasters of Darkwolf Manor http://www.darkwolfHaunt.com/ (Murrieta, CA) and PepperTree Manor http://www.myspace.com/peppertreemanorhaunt (Wildomar, CA) for a visit to the Field of Screams attraction at the Diamond Stadium in Lake Elsinore, CA. http://www.hauntedstadium.com/
Was up late last night working on the electronics for some of the automated props. Had a terrible time working out some of the wiring (Pictured Above), but I managed to get everything together for the Mantle Lunger, and all tests have yielded positive results thus far. Will move on to the guts for the Serpent Spitter which will be the most complicated of the automated scares this year. Will be working with a new type of prop controller and combining a pneumatic with a water squirting mechanism. I suppose it will be somewhat of a minor miracle if I don't electrocute the hell out of myself.
Here's some foreshadowing for you.....my father in law is lending me a 30 gallon air compressor. Be afraid.
