    It has begun...water tank bow blind.

    Picked this up on my way in from the lease today. Gonna try to get the windows and door opening cut this afternoon. Maybe a 4' platform tomorrow. Getting things going with Tyler at Deerview and hopefully can have some windows here next week to get window frames and windows put in over the long weekend next week. Dimensions are 87" wide, 53" flat wall and 65" to peak of the dome.

        Found it for $599 at a farm and ranch chain up here, Gebos. Spray center up here was in the $600-$700 range. Black was about $150 more everywhere.

        Ya no kidding, I was gonna buy one about 48" tall to save some change and cut it in half and extend it. Figured i would more than likely screw that up so I went ahead and got the one that would require the least amount of cutting.

          2 windows down, 2 more and a door to go. The blast of hot air that hit me when I punched out the first window just about put me down for the count. Holy moly it was hot!

              Thanks Lew, hell I'm just ready to get inside of it but still gotta cut a door. I can't fit through the window openings

                4 windows now, woohoo! I know one thing, I'm no pro with a jigsaw. Looks straight until I scrape all the plastic curlies off.

                          Looks good!! I built one a few yrs ago. I'll give you nickels worth of free advise. Put something on the walls and floor to dampin the sound. It's like a loud speaker with EVERY sound you make.

                            Thanks for the heads up Buckwheat. I think Im going to put down the rubber mats from tractor supply for the floor. Been also thinking about getting a quote to have it spray foamed on the inside when I get my window frames and door fininshed. Depends on the price and if they will come to me to have it done.
