Well this week is going to be a bit of limbo for me. I got all the projects completed that I could last week. 4 of them got delayed indefinitely. I may have to pick up the reins myself and complete them if I can get time. The ones that did get completed now have to be put through my QA/QC processes. Most of them are automated, but can take some time to run. The good thing is that is when I have time to hang here on the board!
I've got 2 techs out on vacation this week too, so nothing will get done production wise. Oh well, I have lots of small things I've put off in favor of more pressing matters.
On the Halloween Scare House front, I completed all the fake dead bodies this weekend. They all look similar to this:
I also finished the lab sample jars I need to get done. We also finished all the advertising stuff and tested all the smoke machines. I am using the tub portion of my shop vac to create a ground fogger. It has a hose input hole at the top and a drain hole at the bottom. I've rigged the vacuum hose to be inside the tub and attached to the two holes at each end. Then the bucket is filled with ice. I have a hose going from the smoke machine with low lying fog juice into the internal hose, then out through another at the bottom, which goes out to a diffusing attachment at the end to make the fog fan out along the ground. I tested it and it worked great. I do have some leaks to seal, but the test run was a success. We also got some dry ice to run time tests on the bubbling fog experiments in the lab. My son is running all the logistics and production behind the scenes. So far so good! We have 20 latex wounds, a half eaten corpse, trim the large branches we got from a neighbor's tree trimming into a scary tree and a gallon of chunky, semi congealed blood to complete this week. We start the set construction Friday afternoon. We are also staging a wrecked car this year and I have to create a set of props for that.
