Leecher Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) ======================================================================= UPDATE ======================================================================= Been busy again today.... added the window and bench..... you'll probably notice green dots on the inner side of the studs.... those are the screws that need to be undone when I'm ready to disassemble it Was a real hot day on the deck and got myself a good burn on the neck Here's the vid Enjoy!!!

Leecher Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 why not pre-cut and build on site . must be a huge pain getting the stand to locatrion , no? scent and noise be the same? Don't ask me why but I can see your reply now This is just a preliminary to see how it fits together.... Getting out to the spot will be pretty easy with a 4x4 bike and trailer. I'll be about 300 yards from the deer feeder.... I'll have a pretty good view of it As for scent and noise... will be setting it up ASAP so that they (the deers) get used to seeing it in their environment Thanks again waterwolf!!!

Leecher Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 This morning visited my brother to see how his deer blind was coming along..... he's almost finished, his is built differently then mine and to tell you the truth.... I prefer mine I took the opportunity to take some plexiglas off his hands and when I got back home got busy building window frames, I even changed the front window to open from the top instead of the bottom.... made sense and gives me more room when I stand up Here's one of the little window I made in the doorway. You can't see the plexiglas but trust me it's there The other side From the inside.... and you can see the reflection in it Other side This is the other window I added From the inside.... I ran out of wing nuts so I had to improvise I switched the hinges from the top to the bottom so that the window, when open, rest on the stud at the bottom Moved the wing nuts to the top On the next two pics is the windows opened That is it for now If it's not raining tomorrow, might work on the door so stay tuned for some more.
