    Another blind build...

    That's right, I'm building another one. Three or four years ago I did a DIY for a rifle blind build. This time, I am fabricating a 7'x7' bow blind that will be on 8' legs. Today I pulled what materials I have together to inventory and make a purchase materials list.

    Years ago I purchased 150 3'x5' 1" thick Fiberglass coated foam board drop-offs from a local blind manufacturer. This is what I will use for the walls.

    Tomorrow I will update as the fabrication begins.

        I just got back from Lowe's. Man, the price to pay to hunt comfortably!

            I went ahead and got a jump on it. I ripped down a few 2x4's and fabricated the front wall. I still have to trim out and hinge the window insert (the piece I cut out) to block out the elements when I'm not hunting as well as trim the two outside seams. I will cut and tie the burlap in a couple spots that I can shoot out of.

                    Another blind build...

                    I will be installing a solar panel, controller, batteries, inverter, Red Neck AC, heater, and lights. Oh, and my cot will go in the corner and the Ozonics overhead

                          I know, if I had my druthers I would have went with PT but, finances wouldn't allow it. The floor is all framed! Time to flip and deck.

                            I used subfloor adhesive, stapes, then screws for the decking. I didn't want to chance the floor popping or creaking.

                              Legs have been predrilled and the braces cut to length.
