I am curious on the opinions and experiences of ice house users when it comes to insulation. Some say to avoid the fiberglass insulation and one major ice house maker just quit the foamboard and went to all fiberglass R7 insulation and uses a vapor barrier/house wrap just like home construction. Is the fiberglass insulation going to pick up water, even though it is house wrapped, and rot the house and make it heavier? Thoughts and experience opinions appreciated.
Windows--Are thermopane windows in an ice house worth the money? What are the advantages to going with the thermopane instead of regular windows?
Anybody have experience pulling a rectangular fish house and then a V- front that can speak to the ease of towing and better mileage pulling the V-front? Even if that is negligible it seems the extra space you get with a V-front is worth it.
ATV doors. More dust and draft in the house than they are worth?
Thanks for any help you can provide. Looking to buy and these are some of the issues I need to decide.

Any recs on how to find a good general dentist in Stamford? I will be paying cash. Getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member would be nice but let's say this isn't an option.
Thanks
We get eggs from locals who have chickens. The difference in shelf life between washed and unwashed eggs was weird the first time I heard it. Months for unwashed; maybe a month for washed.
Farm fresh is a fair amount different than from the grocery store. Bigger yolks and thinner shells are two of the more noticeable differences. I had my first red yolk eggs a few weeks ago. Kinda freaked me out but it’s no big deal really.
