The Penthouse

This afternoon I finally finished the Penthouse. The Penthouse is the name of what we call in Tennessee a fancy deer stand. It will be used mainly to photograph wildlife. Although I do hunt deer and turkeys most of the time I prefer taking pictures.


I built the Penthouse just like you would build a house. It has 3 insulated windows and a insulated door just like in my kitchen at home. The walls are insulated as well as the floor and ceiling. It gets cold in my part of the world during the winter and I plan on staying warm.


I will be heating with a propane heater. I will enjoy watching the blue flame that this heater uses to heat with.



OK, it can be very warm during September and October so I found this very quiet fan that I will be using. Oh, I forgot to mention the Penthouse has electricity. With lights I will be able to read and write and work on the computer. I made the curtains myself, took forever. As I was hanging the front curtains a wild turkey came walking out of the corn. When I hung the back curtains a doe and her fawn came walking in from the woods. The fawn had to be only 2 or 3 days old. It was so small.


I am standing on the porch taking this picture of the field that is planted in clover, wheat and other salad type things. All it needs is a little rain and it will be green in just a few days. The crop to the left is corn and soybeans. On both sides of the fields is clover and grass. Behind me is another field already planted in wheat and clover.

I look forward to spending many hours in the Penthouse reading my bible and maybe some blogging too. I will be taking some awesome pictures and will surely post some for you see. So come on back some time and see what I am up to.

Blessings,

Dwight
