We had a productive day at the lease this weekend. All blinds were fully cleaned and swept out, we lowered the bottom window ledge so that blind chairs do not have to be set on the highest level, stair repair was done where needed and weed eater cleanup was done to make getting to the blinds easy. Feeders have corn, blinds have chairs and the fire pit in camp was cleaned up and is ready to use.

To make moving the blind easier, we first grabbed some tin from the remains of Pier1 to make skids to slide it:
Once we had the tin in place, we attached the tow straps:
After swinging the stand to be aligned with the road, we rig to slide down the road to it's final position:
And the final move to it's new spot:
