We Carved Pumpkins with a Pressure Washer: Chaos Ensued!

Now that we’re a week past Thanksgiving and ~three weeks until Christmas, we figured it was time to post our pumpkin carving video here on the blog…ha! To our credit, this did actually post on our YouTube channel on Halloween. We just missed getting it posted over here. We blamed too much holiday fun. 😉

In any case, we had a TON of fun making this video. We haven’t laughed this much working on a project in a loooooong time (and that’s saying something!). But truly – what else could the result be when you try to carve pumpkins with a pressure washer?!?

We hope you have as much fun watching this one as we had making it. Happy Fall and all the things you celebrate this season!

Cheers,

JZ and Daniel
