[Wayne Kline]

 I had  2 tower up B-4 finial grading at my QTH.  Not being able to be here 100% Of the time. I had the same fear as you .I had some JUNK venison blinds from the old house . I Cut the cord and it gave me a  many aluminum  slats with pre punched holes.  I sprayed on some Yellow line paint while they were spaced on a Left over Kitchen cabinet box. Some  plastic Zip ties  and whoa Laaaaa all    9 guys has Bright visual markers.... and NO accidents Wayne W3EA
