We talked about this before, but I thought I would share my building experience of the Louisiana Box Blind.
Step one: get your self a "box" I chose the standard Port-a potty.
I purchased mine used (but clean) from a port-a-potty place.
Prices started at $25 bucks (depending on condition), this one was $75 bucks as it was in pretty good over all condition, and easy to get at.

Step two, clean up and remove any thing that you don't want to hunt with.
Sawzall works well, (fiberglass hard on blades), I built a floor by tracing out the bottom on a piece of plywood, then cutting it out. Added bracing (2X4's)

Step three, build stand, (don't need to, but I chose to build one, this can be anything you want, or as tall as you want).
Stand is 10 ft tall as I wanted to get a good view of my river bottom.
Lumber was about $85 bucks and another $50 buck for bolts.

Step four, add amenities.Cut in windows, added plexiglass, interior shelf/shooting rest, carpet (picked up from the rich side of town on the curb)(noise), office chair, (swivels and goes up and down, rummage sale $20 bucks)

Step five, decorate, DW loves to paint stuff, so I let her have at. Figured all the deer around will say, "Hey, check out the cammo job on that blind, I can't even see it!

Step six, transport to location, (lots of help, luck and bad words), set up, (again, lots of help, luck and bad words), and enjoy to new "Office".
