[QUOTE="DoubleRidge, post: 5106166, member: 20594"] We are in the same situation....last year during the lumber price increase we had started two new shooting houses but wanted to build four on the property but stopped due to cost. Our design is 5x5 and they are 2x4 stick framed. 2x6 treated floor joist. 4x4x12 treated post with elevator brackets. Box is wrapped in osb sheathing and then covered with metal...we ordered metal with no ribs for this purpose....ordered corner trim in metal as well....trim around window opening is treated....plan to stain all exposed treated lumber after year one....loft ladder style steps....legs are sitting on concrete stepping stones...bottom band anchored with 3 foot sections of t-post on three sides...u-bolted to bottom band.....at the time, with some lumber being reclaimed, we came in around $1000 per blind....I dread building the next two because I know the cost will be higher.... probably build one this summer and hold off on the last one....love a shooting house on a cold rainy all day sit....pack a lunch a stay a while.
