We built our last two out of hardi board you wont regret it. Ours have look brand new after two years in the south texas elements, much better than plywood for a lasting blind.
Looks nice.

Quick rundown, blind is 4x6x6, metal material and labor - $800 (I went overkill and will do the next one different, 1/4 plate floor, 3/16 2x2 tubing), hardi board $150, galvanized hardware $150, windows $160, tin roof $20, metal painting was free but quotes were around $300 (oilfield grade two part epoxy), camo paint $100, probably add another $100 for misc things I can't remember.
I kept the inside quite basic, only 2 shelves and a couple of coat hangers, but no pics. I see a lot of people putting heaters but ac would be better for hunting Laredo.
The nice comments alone are worth the effort- thanks everyone.

Paint - I brought an outfitter camo shirt to Home Depot, they scanned it and that is what I bought. I don't know if it has a code on the can or not but I'll check.

Prettiest blind i have seen Wow, didn't realize this thread had been resurrected. Leg height is 4 ft, it's 4 x 6 on the top, not sure of the bottom, but it has about 6 in of flare from the top to the bottom. Thanks for the nice comments.
