Put some metal flashing all around the outside window sills, wrap the sills with flashing. Seal up w silicone. Hang dark curtains inside windows. Only open curtains a lil bit when in shanty..
Haven't had any issues with deer walking past it every day, they just get used to it. Legs are pressure treated so just wanted to save some work on my end.
Only thing i would add to it would be a wooden box on the outside for 20 # LP bottle. And the hose inside to the heater. Another thing we have been doing is putting lawn fertilizer 3or4 times mice and rodents don't like it burns their feet
Very nice! I do not like hinged windows…. Depending on the sun they will reflect light and deer will see the movement. I like the shadow hunter design for windows. Also next level for your blind: 1. Capet the interior walls. Sound absorption, and use white carpet below the windows… easier to see in low light. 2. Add ventilation/stink pipe. To remove your sent as high as possible. This helps if you use a heater too, for bad fumes. And keeps it cool if you add a battery powered fan in the warm months. 3. Expanded metal is best for stairs in cold climates. No snow or ice build up. Overall great job! Check out my build… th-cam.com/video/3lJ-Kk-RNFk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eqSTvER8BKHXzVTQ

Good upgrades since last year. Why not paint the ceiling? And legs?

What did you make the stairs out of ? 2x8 or 10?
I think I might've even done 2x12s, but definitely 2x10s or bigger.

Great idea, was just talking to some buddies about that with the LP, those little bottles run out far too quick!
One of my friends put wall mounted heaters uses a couple of 100-lb bottles
