The best "Bad Dog" I ever had.
Real Name: Bill
The New Diggs.

Things are finally happening. We are completely out of the old place and into the new. Today was the first day we got to 100% focus on the new place and begin fine tuning it into our own without worrying about stuff that needs to be moved out of the old place.
Last week we did find some time to do some clean up around the yard. I mowed and removed some bushes and Betty Lou weeded.
Today I got up early and went to Troy to get dog food and Betty Lou put on a big pot of home made chicken noodle soup. We'll take some to Killer tomorrow.
When I got back I headed outside. The goal was to convert that rickety old playset into my yard pest sniper's hide.
Remember this from the original pictures?

I brought the floor all up to one level and used the old pool ladder to get up to it. The I put a shooting bench inside. When I was at Troy getting dog food this morning I picked up some camo burlap. I replaced the top with a brown tarp, put up new hand rails and covered the sides with the camo.
I went back and forth but finally decided to remove the slide. I really wanted to call it "The hide with a slide" but Betty Lou reminded me of my age....

Anyways... here is my new "Hide without a slide"...

Yes Matt, I did.
Before going to Troy I hooked up My Yong Heng and filled the 5gal water bucket. The I topped off the .25 Avenger and ran 3 mags through it. That's when I got the urge to work on the hide. Tomorrow morning I plan to be in the hide before daylight and wait for the critters to wake up.

I also put a shooting bench under the back lean to on the bar/mancave and set my backstop out to an estimated 100yds. I need to find my tape to measure it off. In this pic you can see the backstop down behind the barn.

I think we all agree… a Victory Slide out of the hide to retrieve your kill would’ve been pure awesome… but perhaps Betty Lou has more sense than all of us. Nice setup, Bill! Similar to what Lt. Dan has… sure looks like a great place to have coffee.

Rambo and Boss have already laid claim to the lower level.
I had coffee in it this morning just to check it out. Today I'll finish up the shooting bench and I also have to shorten the legs on a couple seats. It sits pretty low in there. I'll get some pics of the inside later today once the bench and seats are done.

That looks awesome Bill! I'm with the others, the slide should have stayed! It would have made a quick escape route for the the zombie apocalypse happens and you need to get to the house quick for more ammo!

Sure, you can call it a
pest sniper's hide
and make it sound all adult like, but I know you just wanted to relive your childhood days and built yourself a
fort
.
........at least, that would have been my intentions, anyways.
