Bob goes to work.

Finished up the new “announcement sign” over the weekend. Adding Bob and getting the board all up and ready.

Then it was just time to put Bob to work.

Fluorescent white makes bob really pop at night, and his arm slowly waves back and forth once the lights come on.

As the sign says, the Laboratory is showing September 20th, so we’re under a crunch to get things done.

Also finished up the re-design on the tank assembly. Last year’s last minute addition.

New lights all round, paint, no more wood. Cannibalized a part of the generator last year to place at the base of the tank assembly.

Debating whether we need to put something to block the light there between the doors.

Wondering if I need to add some sound to the thing as well….

  1. That’s right make “BOB” work for his space to be stored in your garage during the year. That looks really cool! You can tell you’ve put a lot of hard work into it.

    Now when you said no “C” word, does that mean not at all until Thanksgiving? So I’m going to have to make my daughter Halloween skirts instead of “C” skirts.

  2. So I love the tank assembly and getting to use it first hand…I noticed that if you keep the lid off of the tank on the left you get a gurgling sound which I think adds to the ambiance of the whole thing. Could be a little louder…I wonder what might work other than just a simple recording that loops???
