New 8*8 Stand Build

I finally had the chance to get my new 8*8 stand down to the lease. Pic heavy I apologize in advance, but very proud and love the fact I can fit everyone in it without leaving anyone at camp!










I looked out the window while I was working in the evening and apparently they don't mind the new stand.
I was able to get the windows installed but lack the drip edge over windows, sealing, caulking and paint. I looked up and it was 2pm Sunday so I loaded up and headed back to town without getting latest pics, but figure everyone will get the just of it. It's funny, everyone says it is huge and I agree, but being able to take 2 boys out without taking turns sure does make it a little more enjoyable.

Nice build. Great for you and your family

Thanks for sharing. Your kids will love it.

Nice one!

I'm a big blind guy too - I like to stay all day if possible and that's tough to do in a 4x4. I applaud you, sir.

Well done.

Turned out great Going to be a lot of cool hunting stories made in that blind

That is something that great hunting memories will be made in..congratulations on your hard work.

Looks great, lots of goods times to come and remember.

thats a great family blind

Looks like a great whiskey & cigars get-away.............

A lot of forethought went into that project. Looks first class. Congrats!

Nice looking setup.

well done!

Nice setup.

Nice. It gets tight in a 6 foot wide so that will be great. Buddy with two kids asked me why he needs more then a 4x4....

That's a lot of Windows. What are you using?

Looks good!

Here is the finished product...Thanks for the kind words fellas.

Very nice!!!!

Wow! I would expect A/C and heat as well. The "spiral" staircase is nice. The windows are amazing. Do the furnishings include a sleeper sofa?

I used thick (1/4") Plexiglass for windows. I was fortunate enough to find a guy on craigslist who had a bunch of scrap pieces, so it saved me a ton of money. I found some track at Lowes and was able to make the bow windows slide down when not in use and the rifle windows are on hinges.

Brad, you built one of the best stands I have seen. Well thought out and excellent construction.

Make sure you wire that down to some solid anchors.

Nice,very nice!!
