This is going to be my second one to build. This one my daughters boyfriend is doing most the work. I learned a long time ago you have to keep them kids comfortable and warm if you want time in the stand with them and now I am taking grands with me. I will post more pics as we build. I have deerview windows to put in it. 2” pipe on the bottom and 1” square tubing everywhere else. It will be completely insulated and have a metal skin. First one I built is about 6 years old and has never had a mouse or dirt dabber in it. Has anyone ever used the diy foam insulation kits? ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/04/full-5959-385744-3f6a47b6_d3f9_4a84_b3c9_a773c45527ec.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/04/full-5959-385745-de9916a9_63bf_4574_b35c_d4e5a2474146.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/04/full-5959-385747-eb3e6a9f_7896_45c8_8f43_0be6174b5751.jpeg)
I once drank muddy water out of a hoof print and was dang glad to get it.

my advice is build the stand to where it’s on skids and slides into that trailer

You at least need a flat top in there for cook to order breakfast.

Full-size ping pong table should fit in there with room to play.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

My grands love the other one. I have a foam mattress and they take a nap in it. We are building it on a 20 foot trailer but gonna slide it off. Tie it to a tree and just drive out from under it.
My days of sitting on a tree limb or on a rock are over. Ha
