Here are a few pics from today. Sorry about the white spots - from drizzle this morning. I still have to wrap the corners in light steel and cover the roof with same.





It is fairly light and I don't think I will have any trouble tipping it into the pickup.

By the way, I believe the Dec. 1 opener is a thing of the past. I heard the DNR is going to let individuals decide when the ice is safe. So if there is good ice by Thanksgiving this year up north we are good to go!

How will you haul it??
I have been thinking about building one.....
but on our local lake you cant spear on so....i guess that sucks....but i dont know....
Any advice i have never done it before

where do you live landscaper?

Landscaper, since the house is framed with 2x2s and sheeted with Lauan, it is fairly light. I plan on either tipping and sliding into the pickup, or sliding it onto a trailer. Since I can spear on several lakes close to home, I plan on using this house as a base where I can spear if I only have a few hours, or use if it is too windy to make spearing out of a portable comfortable.

I like being able to set up on a different lake every day, so my portables will get the most use. The permanent house project is just a way to experience another aspect of the sport.

early, are you bringing it to the dec outing, im excited to see how you built it!

BnS I will try to get it out there so people can get a better idea of how it came together. A lot will depend on the conditions that day.

that would be great.

As fas as conditions, its going to be 75 and sunny out. we will be spearing in shorts.

I think that I will bring 2 of mine tto the get to gator.
I would wear shorts but it would brighten up my dark house with my snow white legs

dude, lets keep it to spearing here please!

Thanks

you started it and if anyone wants to use one of my shacks let me know.

thanks for the help, dork
