Got the floor on the platform. Originally was going to use 2x6s, not sure why, but used 3/4" ply wood. Then cut up the TSC mats and got the floor all worked out. Need to find some carpet to put down to cover up some of the seams. Steel company brought me the right strap today so I got my X braces drilled and put on as well. Blind is screwed down and this thing is solid as a rock. With just the legs on it was pretty shaky. Wasn't to sure about it but the Xs made a huge difference. Just need paint, windows, door and a ladder and she'll be ready for action.

Originally posted by TheBeaster View PostI don't know if it will work or not but I've got several rolls of padding/acoustic pad left over from putting flooring in my house. I'm planning on using it to line a blind. It should help with noise and keep me from having to paint the inside since its a dark gray color, just a few shades lighter than black. And it's fairly cheap too. It won't help with the heat though. Just a suggestion you might want to consider.

Originally posted by Krivoman View PostI just use square tubing. You can also use 2x2 wood as well. Deer view hinged windows mounts flush to the wood and the blind screws down flush to them.. Real simple...
