Since I keep getting the same questions, the below points should provide some answers. 1. Cost - I spent around $2,500 on the blind. It will be different for everyone depending on where you live. Also, the wood prices have gone up since I bought all my materials in January. Another benefit I had was I already had a lot of the materials and I had some buddies give me materials as well. 2. Roof Pitch - The roof drops 2 inches from front to back. 3. Power - I plan on using a solar panel now and will probably do it next year. 4. Stairs - I am aware of the stairs being unstable. I added supports under each step. Also, if you can’t tell in the video there is a railing. 5. Improvements - Since completing the blind I have added shelves and curtains. 6. Reasoning - I built the blind for 2 reasons. One, to enjoy hunting with my young son in a blind that was comfortable and spacious. My father (my sons’ grandfather) can even fit in there with us. Hunting should be a shared experience. Two, my buddies and I enjoy grabbing a case of beer and drinking in the blind to let loose. We don’t even care about shooting anything sometimes. This blind makes this even more fun to do. I will probably do most of my serious hunting with my bow out of my tree stands. Blind = leisure hunting Tree Stand = serious hunting 7. TV - I put a tv in the blind for two reasons. One, to watch college football during the evening hunts. The tv does have what’s called a volume button. I can turn it down so the deer won’t hear it. Two, I can connect the camera attachment on my spotting scope to the tv so I can really get a good visual on the deer.

Hunting with your family means quality time. This is an awesome build with solid reasons. You have my respect. You’ll be safe if the deer able to shoot back too, looks like an armored car on stilts.

I agree in my experiences you see the deer before you hear the deer and I also want to have peace and quiet and enjoy gods creation when I’m hunting.

Need to add solar panels, refrigerator for the beer and a place for the used beer (toilet),

You should get a solar power kit For your power Maybe add A CB with whether

That’s a solid build! I build basic box stands, nothing insulated and I also build outhouses. I have a woodmizer sawmill and harvest logs to saw.

Hey wyd Oh I’m watching tv Ok can I come over then No I’m hunting Wtf

Yeah, may as well be cozy and caught up while you're out there roughing it. My old man would roll over in his grave.

Very nice son and father project. Memories for years to come. Congrats. Really really nice.

Wow that is a deluxe hunting blind. Looks Awesome!

Wow! That is a really awesome deer blind. Very impressed!

Love it. Great blind. Gave me lots of ideas. Its a mini mancave.

Man, this is awesome! I grew up hunting in East Texas - wish I had a blind like this back then! For power, you should check out Jackery - you could get something with more than enough power for this, and it'd also be portable and could charge off solar panels.

I definitely need this blind in my life... Beautiful work

With 93 ads, that build must have been free lol. Geez, I like money too but...

I really hope one of the grey haired guys that is helping you is the recipient of this stand, I build our second "nice" heated enclosed stand with stairs for my Uncle who turned 70 this year, I thought he was going to cry he was so happy. Definitely not this luxurious, just a place with heat and a roof where he can smoke a cigar without getting rained on. Or at least let em sit with you when the big game is on Lol. Love the ground anchors, a hell of a lot easier than what we used. We *finally* had the tensioner fail on one of ours for a stand that had been up for 25 years, so hopefully that portion of theirs is beefy too.

Man that's awesome. Lot of time put into that to last a long time.

Extremely well designed, planned, and completed. Craftsmanship is that of a true journeyman. Attention to detail exceptional. Having worked in the trades from a young age your work ethics are an example to those starting in the field. Hunting isn’t just about the kill. I have always roughed it. But having hunted in Texas your idea of comfort is over. The top! I’m a disabled Marine Combat Veteran having served in Vietnam and as a grunt we lived worse than rats! Sure wish we had you building our Shit Houses! Great Job! SEMPER FEDELIS

That’s a great job!! U made it look so easy. For hunting u made a new stance to look forward to. See ya!!

Some height adjustable swivel type rifle rests mounted in the windows would be a nice addition.

Spend the extra and put solar panels on the top and use an inverter for power so you dont need to carry a battery every time you go hunting. Super nice build

For solar, best to avoid the 18V panels. Get a basic ~320W panel for ~$125 and a charge controller that can handle voltage and amps. Use a 100 Ah marine battery. Consider water proof charge controller and pure sine wave inverter. There are some great inexpensive 500 - 600W options.

Boy, you guys did a wonderful job, start to finish. Sure wish I had some property in the woods so that I could buy your plan and start building. Really fantastic bl;ind….

Great build. This is awesome. Gig em! 👍

That was awesome. Yes I would add a solar panel to it to charge the battery and a 100 pound propane tank. I would sleep in it.

Awesome deer blind.

I am a contractor, electrician, and much much more and all I wanted to say was this project is awesome good job buddy! One thing I would recommend specially due to the acoustics and insulating as much as you did is add a sound deadening either to the floor sides or ceiling of your choosing that way just makes every shot A little more pleasant LOL but you did a great job. Other than adding the sound deadening as a sidenote may be a solar panel and back up battery so that way you don’t have to haul stuff back-and-forth but then you never have to leave! My hat off to you buddy keep up the good work.

Outstanding job!!!!!!!

That’s one nice blind. New follower here.

Great video! Well done!

Them are some nice beat off chairs.

Wow is all I can say you are one talented guy. Personally I would for go the TV

Wow, Just wow. I recently build a 6X8 and it was nothing like this. Heavy duty yes but no insulation, tv, heater, or electrical hook ups. I love the idea of the propane heater. Are the skids face the short side? Correct me if I'm wrong. I would have run them along the long side.

TaylorMade Creations Excellent job!

That is some High Tech Deer hunting right there

Nice job! Throw a 100 watt solar panel on top with a cheap charge controller and you'll be set.

Awesome build but I would put support blocks under those stairs. I made the same mistake.

A lot of folks are bashing this build. If the man wants the most comfortable deer blind you can imagine, why not? He has the means and the ability so I applaud him. There is not a hunter out there that hasn't thought about something like this at some point when they were freezing cold and bored in the stand.

I’ve been designing and building a 7x7 octagon blind since January of this year. Lumber got so high, I stopped and waited until last week to finish up. I’m in it with 2x4 studs, 2x6 studs, 3/4” plywood, 1/2” plywood, elevator brackets, screws (I over-use screws but this thing sure as hell ain’t squeaking), and a few door components. I had planned on adding a 100 gal propane tank, mr buddy heater, carpet, plexiglass/acrylic windows, urinal tubing, etc but cost was way to high thanks to Covid prices on lumber. I had planned a full residential stair system for my elderly dad, but he’s gonna have to settle for a single slope 47* stair with 8” rise. Lol. I dubbed mine “moose mansion” ( I live in middle of lower 48 hunting whitetail and turkeys) because I also planned to have European mounts of deer I’ve killed or seen and found dead mounted to the wall in the blind with a Replica 60” Bull Moose Euro hanging from the frame outside. The guys I hunt with thought that would be a extravagant blind, I really want to show them this blind. Lol. I don’t think they’d ever go home, they’d get reported missing

I knew that was Texas pine. I hunt in the too as well as living outside of Houston.

The stairs and patio just finish it off. A few pot plants and a car port might add street appeal.

I just love these types of videos 😁
