The reason i did this project was to help families that have kids in the hospital and they cant afford the medical costs.
I started off buy creating the plans and getting money together. I first drew the plans up and went to home depot to see how much it would cost to build this and i figured it out to be about $350. Then I created a go fund me and put it all over on Facebook. I got some money together and said here we go.
I started building the deer blind it took a lot longer than expected. I first built the walls got those in place. Then I put the roof and floor in. I built the bench and put it in there. Finally I painted it to blend in.
I ended up selling the deer blind and i am going to send the money to st judes children's hospital. I still have to call the hospital and see how they want me to get the money to them. Once we figure that out i will be able to send the money.
What would I do different on my genius hour project? First I would have liked more time to get money together in such a short notice. It was very difficult to raise money in such short notice.
Second I wish I had more time to build it. I wanted to spend more time on the building portion. I wanted to make the blind a lot nicer inside so some one could hunt and didn't have to worry about the cold. I wanted to put insulation in as well .
