    Will it set on the ground or be elevated?

      Sits on the ground. Hence the skids.

      The area we hunt an elevated box blind would leave you with a blocked view in most places.
      Where this blind will sit you have a much better view at ground level

        Evening progress. All the studs/braces in. I have four little 9” pieces to put in the front window frames and then it’s pretty much windows, outter skin and finishing.

          She’ll be plenty stout!

              Like the skid idea on this one and as stout as it it shouldn’t have any problems dragging it into place.

                    What I came up with for the window eaves.
                    Should work... I hope.

                      Caulk the top edges and I don’t see why it wouldn’t!

                        Yessir that’s the plan. Have a few other blinds on our lease that are sort of built this way and that solid bead along that edge is a definite must. That and good paint.

                          Sounds like you got it squared away!

                            Threw together a door finally. Went with 2x2’s then on the inside made a trim with the same 2x2’s to help give it a relatively sealed look and feel.

                              Well done. Like your eaves, should help with the sun [emoji3508] too.

                                Little update. Turned the wife loose with a paint brush and roller. The inside I told her just find something relatively dark at the “oops” section at the paint isle in Lowe’s. $9.00 ain’t bad for a gallon.

                                Added a few hooks and rifle holders also.
                                The deer antlers came from a family members long abandoned camp that we cleaned out a few weeks back before the cabin was torn down.

                                Windows are also mounted. Still need to get some pics of those.
