I honestly do not care too much how it looks, I just want to meet these goals
1. be safe
2. be cheap so the ROI is short
3. be fast to make I dont' want to spend weeks on this project. a couple days would be nice.

I just searched craigslist and found a few dog igloos for around $40.
I'd kind of worried that the dome is too fat and needs to be more pointed, Maybe a small flame to heat the top of the dome would push it out?

I'd rather prefer a aluminum cone/dome type shape. but the only cheap aluminum dome i can find is a wok and it has an even flatter nose than the dog house.

Then I could just weld up the entire frame to the nose
