One small change to concider is to cut the holes ---sized to fit 5 gal pails.
This one was taught to me from up in the Arctic. It cuts down on the light and COLD wind comeing up the hole. AND dito to the previouse gent on the blocks or runners on the bottom. Get that sucker toasty for you & your Pops and it will be froze tight come sundown // go home time.
Spent two full days out so far, and hadn't had any problems with freezing. I have a 2x2 framework along the underside of the floor sheathing which reduces the surface area for it to freeze on. I have a frame around each hole as well, don't have any light coming up except through the ice itself. Thanks for the tips.
