I gotta a spot for you.
why does this make me nervous and excited at the same time...
Stay in your lane.
5.5 feet sub grade so the floor will be 1' higher for any runoff from a heavy rain. So where your standing is. 4.5' deep floors will be able to be adjusted depending on your height, I'm 6'2".
That should be about right. Some guys make them too deep and then have trouble pushing the lid out of the way. What do you plan to use for a lid? I always used half inch plywood and made them about half the width of the hole with extra on the ends. Light enough so I could carefully move them around as the honkers circled. Putting enough camo on the lid but keeping it light was always a challenge. Drill a couple finger holes in the center to grip it while moving. The subfloor is a good idea. I was going to suggest dumping a bunch of crushed gravel in the bottom but subfloor will probably work better. Get some of those big holy grip treads from Home Depot, cut to fit, and screw them to the floor. That would work great for traction. You're gonna have a Cadillac by the time you're done. Will the farmer be seeding corn again?
Yah, farmer is my cousin. My buddy has a pretty slick design for the lids, I can't share it though because he would kill me, he's thinking about getting a patent on it.
Meh, I hate those kinda pits. We built one like that for a guy. I'm not there to watch TV or cook on the grill. If I don't get at least a little cold or miserable it wouldn't feel right.
Your welcome anytime.
I was going to put some some in the bottom but this pit is located on a knob that was pure sand so water won't be a problem
