Well, I finally had a chance to start the tower stand today. The poles have been sitting there for a week but between rain, a major wind storm that tore our service off the house and more rain I had not had a chance to drill any holes. So today I set the 4- 18' 4x6's by myself and set the joist skirt boards myself as well before my dad finally was able to come help me. So he helped set the 5 inside 2x6 joists then took off as all I was going to do was set the bottom cross bracing then call it a day.
The floor is 7.5' off the ground and the blind will have an inside height of 7' 2". They are calling for high winds tomorrow so I doubt I will get to work on it again but hopefully it will hold off as I want to start framing up the walls after I find what windows I want to use.
I am leaving one side of the bottom open to park the atv under the blind. Eventually I will close it in and will set up a simple door so I can hide the ATV as well.
