    Just picked one up for a good price, my question is for ideas, as I am guessing I will have to do some updates as it was used as a warming house for the guys kids at the cabin. it is a 8 x 8 permanent. so and thoughts/pictures you guys can post would be great. I tried to do some searches on ideas for houses, but nothing good came up for pictures. any help is great.

    sides are sheet metal so it is a light house for early and late season also.

    thanks

    Safety First so Carbon Monoxide and Smoke detector along with a fire extinguisher, LED lights with a converter to run off of marine battery, rattle reels, pinochle cards and regular deck with cribbage board HAVE FUN

    I’m guessing it is on skids? Using a trailer to and from the lake?
    Keep it light whatever you do. Trust me, I have to chain up all 4 to move my 10×20. -Mark

    Try to get some pics of the shack. It would help to see what there is to deal with. Existing hole lay out, if any, can really limit a fella. -Mark

    Ice shack


    That is nice, expensive but nice. Is it really worth that much?

    No, but gives one ideas! I found a portable one that can be pulled with a sled and then one sets up on the ice. Apparently has foam walls.

    I am driving to get it saturday, so hopefully get some pictures up this weekend. he said he is pretty sure it is aluminum siding, but ha not used it in a few years, but the kids have been using it as a heating house for skating and skiing up there. so we will see. usually pulled by snowmobile or 4 wheeler he said. so hopefully everything goes well this weekend,.

    it is on skids and using trailer to move it to and fro. adn you are supposed to move these things? I thought once you drop it you leave it there. fishing just gets in the way. lol
