What a fucking nightmare today. Had to carry one blind in a mile and the other 2 miles with my track skid loader. Water everywhere down here. Could not even drive the truck off the road. cut ruts the whole way. Got both up and the braces on. Them kids drove down 7 hours, worked for 6 hours and just took off to drive the 7 hours back. Them kids are Animals! He charged this guy $2,600 for 2 blinds stood up. The guy got a hell of a deal! Any photos Mo? You know we like photos.

I didnt have time, but the kids may have taken a picture of one of them. I will check Edit: they did take a couple. Smart kids.

Those blinds look nice, I am guessing they would not deliver and set up in Western Iowa...that would be perfect on my farm.

Got to give the kids credit for holding to their word. They delivered when they said they would and did the work they said they would, without asking for compensation for conditions. It cost them some time and effort but I'm sure work ethic like that will profits much more than any welching would have saved them. The guy is thinking of getting 2 more box blinds from the kids, he asked them how much more to get one of them done in the next 2 weeks and one for next year.
The kids said nothing if you let us rifle hunt out of them for a week.......should have seen the look on the guys face! LOL!
What was his response?

It is south of Sioux City, close to Moorhead Iowa, if you google/distance it. Paul has farm out there also... I think you know him--Paul K would probably buy one/two?? as well. 5 hours from my place in Starbuck, so must be around 7 from Mora...?

I had my track skidloader there to help. You got one if shit goes south?

Got a ground blind and a 10’ tower ready to head south. 2 of the kids that build these are out in Minot working so the other kid and their dad loaded me tonight. Can’t wait to get them in place!

Question - Why plywood around the base instead of using 2x4s like most folks? Place to stash stuff out of sight?
