My cousin is putting the finishing touches on Almost Heaven. The name for his new deer tower/cabin on stilts. His wife took one look at the staircase and nick named it the stairway to heaven that's how the tower got it's name.
When it is finished it will sleep 4 and be virtually sound proof. He'll be able to spend the night in this heated cabin on stilts and awake on opening day to see all the deer in the 5 acre plot field. He even talked about a mini underground septic system. The box under the stairs will be a coat closet and supplies closet underneath. The top portion will house the propane tank for the heater and lantern.
The cabin measures 8'x8' and is 16 feet high at the floor. It is made entirely of treated lumber and stands on 6"x6"s. We figure it will be standing there long after we are both dead if a tornado doesn't take it out. Which is a possibility. Still cleaning up a mess from the last one. It took out a beech tree that was well over 100 years old. It would have taken 3 people to join hands around it.
