This is my 1st time adding photos...I think I was more nervous about doing this than the building of the coffin!

Ok Kids ...here she is!!

Set of plans came from "Haunter's Hangout" and they are from the "Mactavish Manor Web Site". This was built by Jerry, he builds all my Halloween & Xmas displays.

Here's a little Muffy story!: One year he thought I was nuts when we went up in the canyons of one of our cafe customers land & hauled down 20ft. dead trees that had fallen on the ground. I made him dig holes in my flower bed right in front of the cafe window & we put up 3 trees and strung spider webbing all over them and them put monsters in there in front of the trees. He said ...It scares me what your mind is gonna come up with next & now the poor guy is building coffins!!lol

He's really nervous since I showed him some of the displays in here. He says you people are adding to my INSANITY!!!lol Isn't that a wonderful compliment???lol

ok on to the budget:
3 1x12x8 shelving $27.21
5 1x12x8 Pine Wood $56.25
Ornamental scrolls & trim $100.44
Wood Glue $2.50
Nails $3.00
Stain $6.00 we used a pint

Very nice. I can see why you spend all the $$ on the scrolls and inlay trim stuff, they really make it pop. I also like the heat distressed wood look.

Great looking coffin, Muffy. I can see Jerry spent many long hours on the building of it. (Once you got him off the phone-LOL).

Dave ...so glad to see your smiling face.......hey comon get your coffin posted on here!!

Yes Jerry & the phone!!!He's always on the phone. Or else someone is bringing over their lawnmower or beat up rototiller to be repaired....thats why we are so behind in Halloween projects...ALtho I must admit he was excited about this contest and really got into it. Jeez I wish we had a hearse and masoleum contest so he'd get those built!

Dave ...Hurry Get that coffin on here!!!
