    Built a platform for my Maverick deer blind.

    8'x8' platform. The Maverick blind is about 6' diameter.

    5 treated 4"x4"x8'
    2 treated 4"x8' 3/4" plywood
    5 treated 2"x4"x8
    10 joist hangers
    Box of screws for the joist hangers
    42 5/16x2" lag bolts

    Total price $250.00 WTF!!!!!!!!! surely I must be joking right?

    No! No joke lumber prices are insane!


    I'll post a picture when I get it set up in the woods next weekend. Its all cut and pre assembled today then taken apart to load in the trailer to haul it up to deer camp.

    I need to start working on my new deer stand. The flip window needs a new hinge.

    I'm using salvage lumber .

    Sas, my boy,

    Next time you come over to Alabama to change Denton's diaper or do y'all little podcast thing-a-ma-jig, swing by Slippy Lodge and you can have it. Its a nice 2 man metal Tree Stand. Pics to follow...
