Reflection
The main reason I did this project was to help the families that have kids in the hospital and have a hard time to pay bills.
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-$400. Then I created a go fund me and put it all over on Facebook. Once I got some money i went to work.
The building of the deer blind to longer then expected, but i was able to get it finished. I started with the walls. Once those were in place I put in the roof and floor. I built the bench and fitted those in. Finally I painted it to blend in with the woods.
I ended up selling the deer blind and now I am going to send the money to st judes children's hospital. Once we figure out how they want me to get the money to them 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. 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 be uncomfortable.
