Back at it this weekend. I need to figure out a good cheap roof, put a few more random slabs of tree on it, get it floated in place, and brush it up.

That's gonna be one heckuva nice blind. Like to see the pics after it's floated into place. Good job!

Some old rusted tin for that roof would be cheap, blend in well and be very light when trying not to add a lot of weight on your pontoon

Went ahead and bought the camo roofing tin. Couldn't find enough rusted tin to do it, and this was just easier. Even FlexSealed the nails.

Had some old camo netting I decided to put to use on the doors as well.

Not yet. We have to wait on the water to get up. Right now, it's mud motor only in there.

Well, it floats. Leans a little forward, but we'll fix that with a drum or two.

In place, but will have to brush some more on the back, and top.

Looks like it came out real good Joel. Can't wait to see some bloody pictures out of it (other than you hitting your thumb with the hammer!)
