In order to have everything ready for Halloween, we began planning this year’s house right after we were done with the last one.  Now that August is upon us, it is time to build!  The first step in the construction phase is to put up the façade structure in order to adjust it for this year’s theme.  I put up the structure, measured the needed dimensions and quickly squirreled it away to work on it away from view (in the backyard!).  Here’s a sneek peek at the “skeleton” of this year’s Asian fortress.  Get excited, all you warriors!
