Hey Everybody,
Looks like I came in just under the wire, I didn't get a chance to take the night shots I wanted to, but that's ok, I'm just glad we got it done on time and under budget!
Laurie (my partner in crime) and I enjoyed this build tremendously, the price restriction really made us think about materials and techniques in a whole new light.
With the exception of the 2" foam, we had most of the materials in stock from other projects (we never throw anything away!) Nevertheless, we prorated everything pretty generously.
For more photos as well as instructions, please see our tutorial: http://www.fulcrumsites.com/haunt/html/the_guardian.html
