Here's the only pic I found that showed the grand scale. there are others, but not from an angle you can see the full bow.... sorry...
the first red arrow on the left is the tip of the bow point. the second is where the bow starts and the third red arrow is where the ship begins from the house. 36ft long total.
Our budget isn't very big. We actually look around and ask people for their old scrap wood and paint and such. The landfill, where it recycles some of it's materials, was able to provide us with the brown paint and such for free! Our Saloon, if I can remember correctly, ran us around.... $1500 total. A lot of the old wood was donated to us from some friends on an old farm. Was also handy to have an old broken down rodeo place behind our house to salvage for old wood, tree posts and such. I can't remember the cost of the Ship but the majority of the smaller hemp rope was purchased at Biglots!
I'm already a part of a set of triplets and an older brother, so another brother could be possible, lol. It's nice to have them around, but a majority of the time they'd be working, so I'd have to pop out a good majority of the smaller things by myself.
We're always lookin for an oppurtunity. If anyone knows of anyone that has a little extra money or so, lol, or even a list of contacts I can get a hold of to make a haunted house for our city or flagstaff, that'd be awesome. If only I won the lottery!
Trick the devil into an apple tree and for all eternity you'll carry a turnip on fire .... I'll stick with the pumpkin....
