Turning a Cooler into a Bunkhouse

[Sippy]

I think this is an old cooler or storage building type thing out at my lease. I have no place to stay so i got permission to fix it up and turn it into a bunkhouse. It is pretty large, and will take a little work but i think i can make it happen. It is full of daddy long legs but i think some spray foam and fine mesh over the vents on the side should solve that problem. Any other suggestions? I will do a DIY thread once i get started. Also, is there any way to do an a/c with no electricity? is there any way to run one off of a car battery?

This is what I was thinking! I have a window unit in a old camper! I Do not know if it works but if it does it's all yours!

It wouldn't bump ours ...not sure about yours. At 300 yards, its not going to bump them anymore than your truck or talking will..

With no windows in East Texas timber that blocks what wind you could get in the front door, that is going to be a hot box...I would get whatever I could for sure.

i guess if i put it on the opposite side of the building from the stand it would cut down on alot of the noise(normally it is only really loud if there is nothing between it and you)

If your really worried about it build a plywood box to put over it that is open on one side and put the open side facing away from your stand. It will cut down noise quite a bit for the deer and you

This^^^
And if noise is an issue then just buy one of the really quiet ones made by Honda. My dad has one he uses for his horse trailer AC and you can't hardly even hear it sitting outside running when you're in the trailer.
