Yes, but someone might think it's a sh*t house and leave a deposit!

May even make my immages more S****y, I think I'll make one of wood to be honest as I think I'd use it a lot.
I could build a seat in and a shelf etc to make it easier and more comfortable to use.

a lick of camo paint it'd be perfect

i'l bet by the time youv'e priced the wood up and all the bits you need it would probably cost more to make
unless you have the wood allready of course

I went with the toilet tent idea, just enough room for a garden chair, I also draped some cammo netting over it and have had day's of shooting already.





and many more on my flickr, link bellow.

Great shots bob, looks like i need to get a toilet

excellent work Bob.

Yes get a toilet and take crap photos like me , I am thinking of replacing it with a wooden structure but its a lot more work than just errecting a wee tent, and I may have most of the bird shots I want already I'll think about it.
