Ultradog Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I dragged it out by the highway and it sold the next day. Should have priced it higher?Oh well. I made some $ on it and have enough to build a bigger, better one. I decided to do this about a month ago and have been collecting free stuff off of Craigslist for it. I'll probably get started on it fairly soon. Last one was fun to build and I used it for 6 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NS whitetail Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Good for you , ya I agree build a big one for naps lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradog Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Yes! The bunk for a nap is primarily the reason I want it a little bigger. I want to place the windows a little better too so the inevitable blind spots aren't so annoying. The guy who bought it said he was going to set it up on an old hay rack so he could pull it to different locations on his property for hunting. He called to say he got it home safe and sound then said his wife and 6 yo daughter immediately decided they had better uses for it.

Our old box needs some work, took down and rebuilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I'm sure the financial difference between this option and a redneck are considerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Ultra; make sure you got window by bunk, so you can just look out and go back to sleep!....was at L&M looking at the commercial type blinds...WOW! My wallet jumped out of my pocket and ran for the truck!, Top it off, the stinkin BASE for the tower was as much as the blind was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultradog Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Well, I haven't actually started building the new blind yet but I have most of the materials for it now. Fortunately my bride didn't grumble too much when I asked to use her garage stall for a couple of months to store everything. I sold the old one for $1K and had hoped to get the new one built for that but even though I am building it on the cheap with stuff from Craigslist I will still have a couple Hundred in when I'm done. A big part of the cost was the windows. I got some really nice - new windows for it which weren't cheap. One thing I bought was some beautiful, old school wood paneling for the inside. I had to buy 30 sheets @ $10 each to get the 9 sheets I wanted. It was an all or none deal. Sold the rest for $14/sheet and came out alright ? I'm looking forward to actually starting on it but have some other projects I have to get done around here first. I'll post about it again when I actually get to building. In other news, the 2020 hunting regs come out one month from today and it's 129 days till the opener. Oh, and y'all can wish me happy birthday if you want. I'll be 67 on Saturday.
