Arlen Animations: Boarded up windows

Here are some pics of my boarded up windows. I covered all the windows in the front and sides except for one window in the back right and the entire back of the house. It was a pain in the butt to cover the top floor, so I had to borrow my neighbor's extension ladder. I made the window covers using advice from HauntForum and HalloweenForum I had a friend who's old shed was falling down and I prided off some old wood siding and cut them to size. I nailed them to pieces of wood I cut in half and it really worked out because the wood siding was really light. Each window covering are like picture frames hung with wire. I screwed wire to the frames then wrapped the wire around screws I screwed in-between the siding in the corners of the windows. I put screws at the top left and right of the window. I should have put some at the bottom because we had 55 mile an hour winds right before Halloween and two of the frames fell down and one completely flipped around! I had to re-attack them (ahhhggghh!!!) I'm thinking if I put some screws at the bottom of the window the wind wouldn't have picked them up in the air and they would have stayed in place.

I had the windows boarded up before I started any other decorations and people were asking if the house had been in a fire or it was a meth house that blew up. It was the talk of the town! I put red lights in the top windows. Looked very creepy.
