KDM, I build alot of blinds for people.
Important. Keep a good overhang on the eaves and gable ends.
Once done, build a real smokey smudge fire with moist grass/ leaves inside. If smoke leaks out, bugs can get in!.
100% spray foam if you can swing the $.

1 froth pack, (350.00$) will easily do it.
Small woodstove. Won't condensate windows like propane.

If using plywood for sheathing, whip up a 5 gallon bucket of real MUD, like dirt! Muddy dirt.
Paint it on. Really.
Once it dries into the grain of the plywood, it's sets up HARD and repels water great. Plus it's such a natural color tone.
Windows, I build my own. I'll keep that secret to myself. (Grin).
But they swing in and sideways.

For sure, insulted the floor at least.
Use cheap carpet for floors and walls. Dark color.

So much more to add to this on how I do them but I'm on about beer #7 now and I'm loosing track. Lol.
Good to see you back.

I have three of those sheds built by the guy by tower city and they are super nice. WELL BUILT 16 on center 2x4 walls and rafters and nicely finished all around. I Highly recommend these sheds!!! They are heavy however and where I want the stand is a beotch to get to with any kind of rig including a 4 wheeler so I'm stuck with a build on site kind of thing, but that's where the deer are. Go figure. Thanks for the response though.

I would love to be able to just take one of those sheds and put it where I want, but just getting those things off the trailer and set in the yard was a job. I can only imagine trying to put one where this blind is going. I don't think the building would survive the twisting and turning, not to mention the crazy fools trying to put it there.

Your going to love sitting in a nice big blind Kurt! I have a couple shadow hunter blonds that I really like.Mine are octagon with vertical archery windows in the corners and horizontal rifle windows on the sides. Carpeted floor, steel sided and roof and insulated. Like others have said make sure windows are sitting down height. I put one on a snowmobile trailer I got for free, it's pretty handy moving it to other spots. I'm a huge ozonics believer with the sealed up hunting blind never leave home without it. Using it we can hunt the stand no matter what the wind. Just put it out the open window. Shelves are nice to have. I fold out shooting bench for rifles would be sweet. If not use a death grip tripod. I just use a single little buddy heater on low heats it right up. Quite quite window operation is a must. Curtains are handy also. Have fun with your project bud, the kids will love it as well!
