It's actually grey and a bit lighter than I wanted ..so there will be a light over spray of a couple of darker colors to tone it down but not cover it ...but it is basically the color of our winter skies so when the leafs are down it will blend in nicely to the sky line as animals look up...the other blind is a light green with trees...I can not find it and I know where it is if I'm in the woods just 200 ft away ...I painted the back side of that other blind a light blue for being high on the hill looking across the sky is what you see...it's nearly invisible when looking through the woods...I still have tweaking to do nail down the corner wraps ...build and install windows..every ones out of the vinyl I want...lay down the carpet...next summer will be insulation and inside walls and ceiling..Oh that reminded me lights...need to pick up a pair that and coat hooks...for hunting gear and my slippers.

Transmission funnel & hose to ground for nature breaks.....................

What are the inside dimensions?

That reminds me of the latest gimmick I saw while watching the hunting shows,it was a grunt tube that had like a 3o foot hose connected to it so you could run it down and project the sounds at ground level ,it guess you could just take the grunt call off and attach a funnel ,maybe switch back and forth between funnel and grunt tube... yuck.

Thanks...I have some more trimming to do and the back windows to cut...I had to wait on those until I saw how the back wall positioned it's self to the tree...they will be smaller windows and probably with out a storm flap...which is OK...more like gun ports...the others I can shoot my bow from.,,,Jo-annes got my vinyl back in and I ordered it this morning...I think I'm going with magnetic strips to hold windows in...that way I can position them any way I want to keep the wind off me but still be able to hear also good tight weather barrier... quiet to

I have those two shooting lanes just in the woods before the lane way,,,they always walk through the woods...and stop before entering the lane way ...it's one reason I picked this spot...They bed up in the woods behind me and I have a mature oak just over the fence infront that drops on us and a total of 5 oaks that line up  with the stand on either side and in shooting range.

Done!!!!!!...Wow that roof was a beast but Mr B and I got her on...I  have to say...I'm a tad impressed,,,the frame dropped over the out side edges of the blind like a glove!I screwed the roof to the frame and the whole blind to the decking....I had to cut a wide enough path through the woods behind the blind for the Gator to drive through...then we used the tree branches and rope with the Gators winch to get it up and into position,,,,I then put the door frame on and nailed the siding to it...just need finishing touches and the windows to be made....I'll take pics tomorrow...let it rain let it rain...need to sweep it before I lay the carpet down.. the carpet is a soft indoor out door dark dark grey..I think I'll lay rubber roofing down before putting the carpet down...
