If you would like to learn how we made the bulk of the tomb, you'll need to watch these two videos first...

Using the information and dimensions found there, I modified the tomb by adding some interior foam board to the base to make a container for water. A 1/2 inch PVC pipe cut in a 2 inch length was put into the top for the screw to go into that is attached to the deer motor.
The interior foam board was attached using Gorilla Glue Clear. Then you should use caulk around all of the corners and any seams from the foam board. Spray foam insulation is used as an additional level of strengthening the hold between the foam board insulation pieces.
Place an ultrasonic mist maker inside the container and fill with water until it is slightly submerged. Turn on the ultrasonic mist maker and slowly add water until it is no longer producing mist. Make some drainage marks slightly below the water line. Remove the ultrasonic mist maker, drain the water and drill some drainage holes at approximately a 45 degree angle going down from the inside of your tomb's water container. You basically want the water to flow down if it becomes overfilled.
Determine the placement of the deer motor. Add a pivot point in the lower corner of the tomb's lid. Make a hole for the deer motor's rig to go into the lid of the tomb and add some 1/2 inch PVC pipe to increase durability. Attach some caster wheels to allow the lid of the tomb to move freely from side to side.
