Any my platform. Six feet tall made out of two fuel barrel racks - 2' angle iron. Used an old deerstand for my ladder and welded it to my platform.

Now just need to paint blind and platform before putting her in the field!

Got my blind moved into the field today. Still need to install my deerview windows and paint my platform. All downhill from here!

I used high quality behr paint from home depot. Painted the interior black. For ground anchors i used 4' round pipe and put it three feet in the ground with quik-crete. From there i welded my base to the pipe anchors. Should be super sturdy! More pics to follow in future days but here are a few to share from today.

not to shabby

Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different.

Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
