justinlkgb Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I am reminded of about 7 years ago or so when it was like 60 and the permies all were floating like bobbers. Apparently had something to do with the wind ripping currents and "cutting" around houses, leaving a large hole and floating house. I had a friend that had it happen to him and it took alot to get it out. I would get it off the ice, just for saving time later this season, could you imagine chipping that out!

Scott K Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I pulled mine to shore, along with a friend of mines last night. He is taking his off tonight, I maybe as well, it all depends on his report of what the ice looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoggs222 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I posted it in the Annandale-Buffalo forum. I'm looking for a pic of it now. It was on Beebe in St. Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonWBasser Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 ronwbasser were the hec was that picture taken at. That is unreal. NE Crow Wing county. Around 15 miles from Brainerd. Most all the lakes up here are this way. This was the 3rd one coming to shore. I watched the first 2 way out on the lake and the water splashing up was amazing, about as high as the side windows. This was the third one and he was driving a lot slower. The plow you see is hitting water and it was in a normal raised position. It was quite a sight, glad I had my camera along.

timjones Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Seen a number people taking their houses off of Osakis this afternoon. Lots of standing water on the lake. Some areas are only a couple inches of water and other spots there is 6 inches or more. Saw other people move them to a little higher spot and block them back up.

DP Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I checked mine after work and glad I did, the holes I drilled on Saturday had opened up to about 18". Decided to pull it in by shore for now. I marked these holes, but it's pretty dangerous moving around the lake now especially if you're going out when it's dark. I'm gonna wait until cools off enough to freeze the lakes back up before I go back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 If I had one on a lake up here I would be pulling it off until either the water on the ice settles or we get a good deep freeze. Or you will surely have a frozen in house. Going to be a lot of wooden blocks laying around the ice this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbound Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Drill some holes a little off from the houses, the water might drain into them and the house might not flood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buck Buster Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Drill some holes a little off from the houses, the water might drain into them and the house might not flood. This works very well to relieve the water pressure from on top of the ice. We have done this many time. The water goes down the hole, and the ice comes back up. Makes the hard water season last a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye43 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Or pull the house to where there aren't any holes, no moving water to cut the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paceman Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I pulled mine off yesterday afternoon. It was freaky driving through about a foot of water..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
