MaterialsI was able to go to Lowe's hardware this week and acquire some of the needed materials. I had planned on using some of my dad's materials, but he did not have anything that I could use. At Lowes I purchased enough to get started with my project, but definitely not enough for the entire project. This is because lumber prices are extremely high right now and I am hoping that if I wait to get the rest of the materials the prices will go down some. The materials I have now will be used to build the base of the deer blind. I purchased 4x4 posts and 2x4 boards to build the base of the deer blind. ProblemsThe price of would being so high could lead to a very big problem. I am currently hoping that the prices will go down, but there's really no way to know what is going to happen. Thankfully the prices have been slowly dropping, but they are still very high. If the prices continue to stay as high as they are now, I am going to half to change the plans of the blind to make it smaller. Making the blind smaller will definitely make the overall cost lower, but it will be challenging to change the plans halfway through the project. I was originally planning to build a 4x8 deer blind that was 10ft high. I do not want to change the height of the deer blind because it is much easier to hunt when you are raised up off the ground. However, there is a very good chance that I may need to change the overall size. The size I was planning to do would fit 3 to 4 people. I am thinking that I may need to change the plan so that it fits 2 people instead. It could not go any smaller than a two person stand though.
