    Igloo bow blind

    I bought one of the igloo can recycle things from 3rdshot and have decided to make it a now blind. I have drawn out my windows and door and will cut them when I go get the correct blind for my skill saw in the morning.
    It will have 3 12x12 deerview windows in the front and the door will be 32x32 and I have already made my marks for the hinges.

    As for the holes I have not decided if I and going to use thin sheet metal or cut roll roofing to cover each hole and use some for of tar to hold them in place and seal them. I really don't want to use screws or bolts of possible.

    What's the inside diameter of the "igloo"? Do you know if he has any more for sale?

                  I've never seen anything like that. I like the shape of it better than just a cube.

                    The blade I bought for my saw would not cut the fiberglass or my saw doesn't have enough nuts, so I worked on the roof instead. I decided on roll roofing and I sealed the edges with roof patch. I will go back over again to make sure I don't have leaks.

                        As a suggestion, why don't you open up one of the holes in the roof and add a quiet ventilation fan. I'm sure that thing is going to get hot. I'm curious how much it weighs too.
