not following you ?, upper part ?..you mean the windows ?, if you look closely...you can see the plexiglass being held up with a wood turner on the side. all winodws fold up when in use..and fold down, locked shut when not using them.

here is the shade shack all loaded onto the trailer, still have to run some heavy duty straps from one side of the blind..through the windows..and hook to other side of trailer, these straps are rated for 3500lbs !. if anything breaks ?..it will be the blind before these straps !...lol p.s. i finished screwing the tin down this morning, looks good too me.

thanks !. yeah..we don't have anything like that down yunder to raise it up 12 ft ?!..lol. if i can get hight on the stand from ground up under the top part ?, i may end up getting some 4x4 treated post to prop unto the china legs ?!..lol. just need to get with al and see what he says ?, i'd love to have it back up on the stand that is there, after all..i built the base/floor to sit right down over that top section anyway.

good idea !. waiting to hear back from the guy that is going to help me get it to my spot, he said something the other day about shoring up the stand that is there now to support the weight of my new stand. i know he said something about using 4x4 treated post, but i do not remember how he said to attach them to the frame on the cheap china metal frame ?, or how tall that frame is to the underside ?. once i get a ballpark figure, i may go ahead and get some 4x4 post to take down to my spot, brace the stand up, then rip this thing all back apart on the spot, get everything all the way back up to the top, put it all back together, and roll with it !. if i remember right ? ( that don't say much with me being old now..lol ), i think he said the old stand only had a weight limit of about 500 lbs ?, this is me, and all gear or another person up on the top. i would rather my new stand be up in the air, with me smoking ( yeah yeah..bad habit..lol ) i run the risk of those bucks smelling me a mile away !..this is the downside of having a ground blind.

i can't lay it on its side, the roof over hangs as it sits now, but i can remove the roof plywood and tin, then do like you are saying, but right now, it can not be layed over without messing up the plywood ( 3/8 ), and the tin i am going to put on for the final roof.

welp..the trash sack won't work for curtains, gonna try making some curtains out of black bed sheets, so i can slide them, and not spook the deer..lol.

yeah..i'd love to have this one up high ?, but we don't have any way to get it raised, least not for now ?. sooo..it will be a ground blind for now. nice looking blind you got !.

me thinks i'll stop with the painting, here's the last bit i am doing to it as far as paint goes. still need to make the black curtains..lol.

got some camo done, first time doing this, called it a day for now.

and the gray base paint on !.

got the trim on, all caulking done, now ready for paint !, wish me luck on it being camo'ed !!..lol

Not sure who all will be interested in watching me build this ?, but figured i'd post this thread to entertain ya'll !. after my last deer stand crumbled on the top area (canvas)..sigh. decided to just build my own blind seeing how most are either cheaply built ?, or very high dollar ?. sooo..i set off on my brain cells coming up with a replacement stand that i ( thought ) would go back on top of my metal raised stand ?. my plan was to build it here at home, then take it all back apart, and put it back together once at my spot ?. NOPE !!..it is way to heavy to sit on top of the china frame 12 feet up in the air, ( go figure, china products )..no..i did not buy the old stand, the guy that is letting me hunt on his lease area did 2 yrs ago. So i set off on a mission..to build my own stand all out of wood, it is nothing fancy like some of the high dollar blinds ?, but it will serve me very well !. i added foam insulation inside on the bottom section, did not do the inside roof, i figured with it being 3/8 plywood over that canvas crap with insulation , it should warm up very fast once i fire up my propane heater that i was using in the old canvas stand. i added some indoor/outdoor carpet inside for the floor, and then tossed in my office chair ( gotta sleep good in there ya know ! ). today i will start putting the corner boards on the corners, then paint it the same color i painted my cabin, its a light gray that i will use as a base color, then i will (attempt) to paint some camo designs over the base color. I have installed plexiglass windows on all four sides, followed up with some curtain rods to hold black color glad contractor trash bags. i will come up with a way to weight them down to keep them from making noises when the wind blows ( and you just know the wind will blow them..and scare the deer away ! ). not sure how i will weight them down yet ?, I've got an idea of putting pennies on the bottom to hold them down, not sure how well this will work yet ?, but i just need to weigh them down some how with something ?. as for sealing the outside of the windows, i bought some garage door bottom seal stuff, it is made of pvc, with a rubber lip on it. i cut it to frame out the outside opening, the rubber seal presses against the plexiglass pretty good once the window is shut from the inside, seals it up really good to keep water/rain out. This is my very first deer box blind i have ever built !, it's not pretty by any means when you compare it too high dollar blinds ?, but it will suit me just fine compared to what i had been using.

leave it manual shift !.

i can back this up..spec around closing time !..rofl.

stock setting on all trx300 carb's for the e-clip ( i call it c-clip ) is middle groove on main jet needle, most times for honda's, there are 5 grooves on the main jet needle, put the c-clip in the middle groove.

yes..air/fuel mixture is not 100% correct.

we charge extra for voting on tire pics wm !..lol.

i knew arkansas was sure, but was not 100% positive about tn ?, but almost sure tn is as well. my gals son just purchased a 9mm tactical/comp 9mm beretta, he loves it. i was the one who told him to buy a 9mm beretta brand name, so far, he's very pleased with it.
