So, in response to a “scary dessert” contest at Lois’s work, we made this:

“Independent Chainsaw Massacre”

Independent Chainsaw Massacre Cake

It wasn’t a big competition, and we clearly won the day. Apparently the “blood spatter” really took it over the top. I was just glad we had enough dark jelly bellies to make teeth.

In other news, I’m tempted to create a “you must be shorter than this sign to trick or treat at this house”.
Punk ass teenagers without costumes need to be hosed down. Get off my lawn and so forth.

Fortunately there are enough real cute little ones to make up for it this year. We’re out of candy now, so time to turn off the lights and go hide.

Well, after much digging (hello china!), and waiting for concrete to dry, progress has picked up dramatically.

Even though our builders can only work weekends, they’ve just about done the job already on the first one. Now the hold up is our window and door order, so maybe by mid November we’ll be good on stage one- storage.

Post remodel I will be finishing the interior and so forth to create my work space. Until then it’s just a storage box. A nice storage box, but still not my secret laboratory just yet.

Ah, progress!
