Oh common, don't give up so easy. You point out my spelling errors, but you need to be a fair spelling teacher and give me credit where my spelling is right. I bet my spelling is at least 95% right, that's an A+. Once is a typo Twice is illiteracy Smiley face for you and btw...it's "duct tape"

I've been thinking about this too. I want to build a low profile floating deck to put a pair of layout blinds on. No worries, it'll be in less than 3 ft of water, MAX. Problem is there is very little cover for 2 hundred yards in any direction. 55gallon drums will ride too high out of the water. Thinking about this: Oh, and if you need 55s, go to your dry cleaners and look out back. They should have plenty and they're probably free if you're a good customer. Thought about the same thing, that is floating layouts. I was simply going going to use plywood floor with a plywood back rest, and throw brush on top. But I would not go with that milk carton duck tap rig, first I doubt that thing will last, that duck tap will come all undone. And there is no point in the milk cartons on top of the floor. Styrofoam probably a better option, but you could make berrals work too, they make smaller ones. No way I would actually do the milk jug thing! Just thought it was funny... Let me know if you come up with an idea on the floating layout. If you're in DFW I'd come help you build it just to see how. You could very easily make 55 gallon drums work. I built mine that high because that is how high it needs to be to see over the 6-7' tall reeds we are going to hide it in. You could make a saddle to go over the barrels like I did and then just recess the floor however many inches you would like (say 8 inches). With 2 barrels on each side and 2 people sitting in between that would probably put yall right above water level. You'd obviously have to camo the barrels but it would work pretty well I think. Or you could put sand in each barrel to have them sit lower in the water. Easy to measure by weight. Equal amounts for each barrel

Some people's brains are wired for spelling, and some aren't . I'm 53 years old, never could spell worth a spit, but the last person (of importance) that gave a crap was my undergrad freshman English teacher 1987.

I bet my spelling is at least 95% right, that's an A+. You got that word at 2/6 on this thread. Since we've apparently had a class change and are now on to math that's a good batting average. By the way, ever heard the saying "A and B students work for the C students"? PS somebody check my punctuation, I never was good at the sentences with embedded quotations.
