ProblemsThe main challenge I faced this week was that I was in Florida on vacation all week. So I was unable to get out and actually work on the wooden deer blind. This was a problem that I hadn’t considered when I was planning out the project. I didn’t realize that I wouldn’t be able to work on the blind until I was already in Florida, so there was nothing I could do about it. This definitely put me behind in my scheduling. I still need to cut out plywood sheets and attach them to the outside walls of the blind. This will probably be the most time consuming piece of the whole project. I will have to work extra for the remaining weeks in order to catch up. What i did do this weekThe only thing I was able to do this week was research what type of plywood I needed to use for the walls of the blind. I discovered that any pressure treated plywood should work because it would last significantly longer than other types of plywood. I also believe using 3/4 inch thick plywood is the best option. That thickness is definitely on the thicker side for plywood, so it should last longer than any thinner plywood’s. The only downsides the 3/4 inch plywood is that it is heavier and more expensive. I am choosing materials that will last the longest because I do not want to have to deal with maintenance on the blind later and I do not want to worry about it breaking while I’m in it. Next week I plan to purchase plywood and the cut the plywood the correct size for the walls of the blind. Also this week I found a camouflage netting that I would like to put on the outside of the blind. This is a very cheap and is an easy way to improve the final result of the deer blind.
