Looks like it's gonna be nice. I need to build 1 or 2 myself.

Framing them up on the ground makes them much easier to build. Just about finished with the wife's vacation home as I call it. Just gotta add windows a door and finish the stairs but it is nice and roomy.

I have been looking at options of how to do my windows. I like the way you did these. How will you rig it to stay open? Swinging up and out I assume?
Eubanks01
Eight Pointer
Yep. Gonna rig a piece of rope, run the rope through the wall just above the window. So you can pull it open from the inside. Then tie it off to hold it open. Will post some pics when I do it.

Wife says I'm going a little overboard. Gives me something to tinker with and keep busy.

did you run the light poles all the way to the top or just attach the box on top of them?

They go up to the floor level. The stand was prebuilt on the ground at my house. The taken apart in sections to be reassembled in the air. It is solid as a brick. I can't shake it when trying and it has been through some heavy storms. I over built the crap out of it.

Don't know about all that, but I do intend to camp out once in a while with the kids and cook breakfast the next morning while the kids look for deer.

Looks good.....is this going to be just the blind or are you going to put it on a platform?

Just a blind. Gonna set it on a couple of cinder blocks. The pines on our lease are young, so it's hard to elevate it much more.

I just used 1/2 inch you get from Lowes. I got the paint from Lowes as well. I think it was olive drab. For the trim I used 3 inch firing boards from Lowes. Got lucky on the shingles a gentleman on Craigslist was asking 20 for 4 bundles.

Just a heads up to anyone wanting to build one. The Lowe's I work at is always wheeling and dealing on scratch and dent materials. Broken open bundles of shingles, doors, storm doors, windows etc. I think broken open bundles are $5
