GoalThe goal for my Genius Hour project is to build a functional raised deer blind. I would like to do this because my family needs more places to hunt at than we have now. I decided on a wooden box blind because it is much more comfortable to hunt in compared to hunting in a tree stand. This week I would like to focus on planning out project. PlanWeek 1: Plan out project and Began Research Week 2: Finnish researching Design and needed materials Week 3: A quire needed materials Week 4: Find a location for the blind Week 5: Build Lower supports Week 6: Build ladder/stairs Week 7: Build walls of the blind Week 8: Finish the walls of the blind Week 9: Build of roof on the blind Week 10: Complete a safety check Week 11: Install need feature inside of the blind Week 12: Work on final presentation RESEARCHLuckily there are many designs and plans available to use for free. The only problem is that there are almost too many designs to look through. I am also thinking that it may make more sense to base your design around where you are going to put it instead of trying to copy another design exactly. If a design is copied exactly it may make not sense for the terrain of where you are trying to place. So I am currently thinking that I am going to pick a design that I like and then alter it to fit my situation. Potential ProblemsSo far there a two potential problems that I have identified while researching. The first problem I have seen is that the majority of the designs I have seen have supports the angle outwards to give the structure a wider base. This could be challenging to measure correctly and put in place. The second potential problem I have seen would be how precise the measurement may need to be. I am concerned about my measurement being slightly off and then it messing up the entire design.
