Just wanted to post a few update pics for those that remember this thread.........

I know it's not much but it is all mine and it helps me remember why I bust my butt every day at work. Insulation and knotty pine tongue and groove paneling will be installed by September or so. It's not much but it is all mine and will be a blast this fall. Next project is a shower/out house and covered front porch which I hope to get done next spring. I first slept in it over memorial day weekend and finally got to have a fire and drink beers next tothe fire pit at night. It felt great. I woke up Saturday morning to see a doe that just dropped a fawn that morning in the field 200 yards from me, and Sunday morning I woke up early to take a leak in the bushes and had a gobbler less than 30 yards from the building.

My grandfather is making a sign for it as well with the name on it.........the sign will be posted next to the front entrance on a 4x4 post that also has a thermometer/weather station on it.

Pics of "Matt's Minnequa Shabin" [8D]:

View out the front door. You can see where I killed my bow gobbler in this pic. My blind was setup right in the end of that strip of trees on the right hand side going into the field.

And one more from the outside showing the "Shabin" as my friends and family call it, as well as the fire pit, etc........
