    I'm already a subscriber! You sir, are a craftsman and also very good with the spreadsheets and graphics. My old-school mentality (and stubbornness) certainly gets in the way of learning and using helpful computer programs. I'll admit, I have some workshop envy going on! That's a great looking hunting property as well. Yeah, the right window height certainly depends upon local terrain. I ended up lowering the ones on my 6x8 after it was relocated, high on a hill. I sure appreciate that you mentioned my videos. I really enjoy your channel!

    Greatly appreciate the time and effort you put in to the info, drawings, and video. I was drawing my own sketches when I stumbled across your videos. Appreciate your kindness to freely making them available.

    Nicely done. The story was also a good addition. I like the garage door trim idea.

    I love it! Tinted plexiglass is a great was to stay hidden

    Enjoyed watching a skilled craftsman at work. I built an 8' high, 5'x5' platform for this season and have my porta-jon blind sitting on top it. Come spring, I'll do the walls and roof using your video/plans along with Brett's. PA rifle season weather and my aging body demand some creature comforts. And my common-sense demands a blind that doesn't cost as much as a 4 wheeler.

    Great build, info and video...... have a quick question, I cannot see some of the dimensions on the pics uploaded. Do you have a link to them or any way to get the other dimensions? Thank you

    I would like to see a copy of plans if I could. I am building something similar on a trailer but am curious in how roof mounted and such.

    I note that this design consistently is built with the corners of the base remaining square rather than following the angle of the box. I presume that has to do with maintaining strength for the legs. Is that correct thinking or can those corners be angled as well allowing the corner plywood to extend over the rim board?

    I love the build and am hoping to use yours as a guide, but I wanted to ask about the roof. You don't go into much detail about how it's attached or the rafters. Do you have any materials or even pictures how it was done or looks?

    I'm not an engineer but isn't the weight bearing on the opposite boards of the ones you put your 4x4 metal brackets on? It seems like the other boards carry the load.

    What size cable did you use for the ground anchor? And what hardware?

    What was the overall weight of the blind? I made a 6x6 blind and wanted to elevate it with those brackets but I’m 80% sure I’m over their advertised weight limit lol
