00:28And if we come along, we've got... How you doing guys? You alright?

00:33So it's Rob and Kerry.

00:35That's correct.

00:36Cool, so you've put on this fantastic display with a little bit of help.

00:39We'll meet your sister in a minute Kerry.

00:41And you're raising money, we should say. Who for?

00:43Corn Wildlife Rescue.

00:45Great cause. We've done a few features with them.

00:49So, go on Rob, come and squeeze in a little bit.

00:52So, is this like an annual thing for you? Do you always put on a big display?

00:55Yes, and we do it for a different charity every single year.

00:58Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.

00:59We like to pick it for a local charity.

01:01Yeah.

01:02Get local people involved in supporting their local charities.

01:06And so, when do you kind of, when do you start welcoming guests?

01:11Have they been coming already the last couple of nights sort of thing?

01:14They come around and see how it changes day by day.

01:16Yeah.

01:17But today is the big main event.

01:20So they enjoy watching it kind of, watching it be built themselves like, yeah.

01:23Yes, yeah.

01:24So how, how many man hours does it take to, man and women hours, me being sexist,

01:29how does it take to build something like this? Have you dared to put a figure on it?

01:33I couldn't say, we just started in the schools in June.

01:37Yeah.

01:38Drilling circuit board LEDs, getting, getting, we plan it a year in advance on when we finish this one next year.

01:45Start the next year.

01:46Yeah.

01:47Well give us the tour then guys, go on.

01:48So obviously we've seen it in the daylight, so I mean it looks amazing.

01:51And it's, you know, it's daylight, it's not even dark.

01:54So take us through then, go on.

01:56Okay.

01:57We've got the skeleton with the...

01:58So this, this is the ground breaking, all lights up red.

02:01Yeah.

02:02Doing the night.

02:03So all, all the ground lights up red, yeah?

02:04Yeah, the ground will light up red.

02:05Fantastic.

02:06There'll be mist coming out the cauldron for the witches.

02:09Yeah.

02:10Which is different colours.

02:11Cool.

02:12All the bottles light up on the back.

02:15Ah, alright.

02:16The treasure chest which is made out of a pallet, and spray foam, it's got LED lights inside it which all lights up.

02:23So you've literally made the whole chest afresh.

02:25Yeah.

02:26Yeah.

02:27Awesome.

02:28These guys playing the cards here, on the green.

02:30Yeah.

02:31Cool.

02:32Yeah.

02:33It's just like a skeleton for it.

02:34Yeah.

02:35And that illuminates in the dark.

02:37Fantastic.

02:38You can see them out of their own.

02:39Giant spiders.

02:40I mean, look at this guy.

02:41See, this is the polystyrene foam again here, isn't it?

02:43Yeah.

02:44For the witches on the...

02:45Awesome.

02:46All the stickers are made with a cry-cut machine, which my wife does.

02:49Yeah.

02:50I mean, there's a lot of pumpkin carving going on.

02:52Kerry, you were saying it's still taking place, isn't it?

02:54Yeah.

02:55There's more carving still.

02:57Giant spiders, guys, be warned.

03:00Obviously, this will all be lit up as well, guys.

03:03This is ultra...

03:04Yeah, this is where we're at.

03:06Yeah.

03:07We've got a truck and we re-sprayed it.

03:08Yeah.

03:09There's all red LEDs and it's all lights up to the dark.

03:11No way.

03:12And look at this.

03:14It's a pirate ship.

03:15A pirate ship.

03:16Who's that aboard the pirate ship?

03:17We've been invaded.

03:18Is that your sister by any chance, Kerry?

03:20Yeah, that's my sister.

03:21What's your sister and her partner's name?

03:22That's Lindsay and Darren.

03:23Cool.

03:24I'm going to hop over here then.

03:25See if I can do what you've had.

03:26How you doing, guys?

03:27You alright?

03:28Alright.

03:29So you're Halloween nuts as well?

03:31We are.

03:32Yeah.

03:33So was there any particular area that you guys helped out with or a bit of everything?

03:38Kind of all pitched in together, yeah.

03:40Yeah.

03:41Yeah.

03:42A lot of the conking carving.

03:44Yeah, it's an art to doing that, isn't it?

03:46Yeah, yeah.

03:47I mean, it looks awesome.

03:49I've got the skeleton here ready to jump the plank.

03:52So the pirate ship, I mean, where did that idea come from?

03:55You know, to say, right, I'm going to have a pirate ship in my garden.

03:59It's a bit insane, isn't it?

04:00Basically, yeah.

04:01We just said...

04:02Literally, it was, I want a pirate ship next year.

04:05And you were like, what?

04:06It just died from that and it started with a small ship and all of a sudden we're building

04:12something huge.

04:13Yeah.

04:14Yeah, yeah.

04:15A lot of drawings at night.

04:16Yeah.

04:17Well, I love, I mean, the detail on it.

04:19You've got the giant pirate ship.

04:20You've got that man about to jump.

04:22Flags are flying.

04:23Those skulls attached to the poles.

04:25Rob was saying he's got LEDs in there.

04:28He's drilled them.

04:29They'll all be lit up.

04:30We've got the piranhas down here.

04:33We've got the jaws of Craven Arms.

04:36The sharks are on the prowl.

04:38I mean, it's awesome.

04:40Really beautiful.

04:41So what do you guys think then?

04:43So this is...

04:44I'll come round this way to get out the wind of it.

04:46So, what do you guys think of it?

04:49Have you enjoyed kind of watching it create?

04:51Have you got hands on and done it yourself?

04:53We've loved you.

04:54Yeah?

04:55Yeah, we've done it all together.

04:56Yeah, yeah.

04:57Are you big fans of Halloween then?

04:58Yeah.

04:59Cool.

05:00And it must be nice when you see people come round and their faces are just going like,

05:03wow.

05:04Yeah.

05:05Kids that have come down here like daily.

05:07Yeah, yeah.

05:08Just to see like the progress that happens.

05:10The transformation.

05:11Yeah.

05:12And I guess it's inspiring the next generation of builders, I guess.

05:15You know what I mean?

05:16When they grow up, they'll be like, well, if a man can put a pirate ship in his garden,

05:20I can at least do a couple of pumpkins and you know what I mean?

05:23Yeah.

05:24Usually he's using the imagination as well at the same time.

05:26Yeah, yeah.

05:27But at the end of the day, there's silly things like cutting them circles out and there's

05:33little...

05:34For the windows.

05:35For the windows.

05:36Yeah.
