Not tank related, but it is something we are building so it can go on my build thread. Any guesses?

Edit to add a Hint: It's Halloween related. Big surprise there. ;):grinning-squinting-face:
someone's going to be an ant for Halloween!

Oh I wish I was wrong (not a spider fan)... but that's going to scare a TON of neighborhood kids (and adults)!
The goal was two have two but I might have to give up on that dream given how much spray foam and the legs are going to cost. My husband is super into helping, which is making it extra fun. We haven’t fought once and my eye didn’t even start twitching when his spray foam kept falling off because he was making it come out too fast. :winking-face-with-tongue: So Im considering that a marriage win. Hahahaha
Also, I’m super stoked about the beef netting cobwebs we plan on doing!
There is going to be a whole scene. Full Skeletons cocooned in cobwebs and some dressed like exterminators. I also hope to faux board up the windows but that maybe have to be a next year project. We started a little late for all my Ambitions lol.

I can’t help it. My mom was always very into Halloween so it’s in my blood. I become full on spooky season nerd. Everytime someone new comes over and it’s not October, I have to explain why I have a life sized vampire butler in my foyer. :face-with-tears-of-joy::zany-face: Each year we go bigger than the previous. My husband said next year we need to start in January, so I have time to work on all the projects. We have already decided on the theme and I’m gathering research and DIY projects for it. I clearly have a problem :face-with-tears-of-joy: I’m pretty sure a 3D printer is inevitably in my future. But I’m holding off on that discussion for now.:face-with-tears-of-joy:

I admire the commitment. I love Halloween, but I'm definitely not that committed. It's awesome you do so much (and I hope you get that 3D printer).

We're house hunting just outside of the city right now in Salem, MA which goes pretty hard for Halloween. The city is gearing up for October and while we've been visiting homes this month I'm realizing just how seriously people take it.

I also picked up another emerald. :::crossing fingers::: I tried to grab a female but the lighting was poor. When I checked when we got back, it’s definitely a male.

oh well.. here is hoping this one last longer than Ms. PK.

Everyone is just acclimating. I should have more updates later in the weekend. Hope everyone is having a great day!!!!

edit to add: thanks @Mrs.F i s h y for chauffeuring me and my kids up to Modern. I always forget to take a photo together and regret it later. Always fun.

Didn’t make it to stage 2 of the additions this weekend. Stayed up a little too late night.. :smiling-face:we just didn’t regular maintenance on the cube. The goal for this week is to redo its rock scape :::fingers crossed::: soaking new rocks in water change water as we speak to get them ready.
