So some of you may remember the big honkin perm shack I built last year... well I scrapped it for a smaller lighter version, and Im in the process of building a new one since there aint no darned ice out there yet...

This thing will have a fold down bunk shelves, 47x27 spear hole, 2- 8" holes and fold down shelving.... Plus whatever else I can think of smile

3 walls are up still a little strip on the back wall to cover, roof is getting rubber roofing you see on commercial buildings, Inside is gettting painted dark grey, since its gonna be dark in there dont matter what color the inside is.

Still alot of work to do yet but, I think I have time, made the bunk too, should work out great, the ice holes are positioned so I can use real weeds if I want to and they will be out of the way, one side will house my underwater camera w/real weeds so I can see the nords 360 around my hole... This year is gonna be sweet...

Gotta Portable buddy heater with 20lb tank that will heat this puppy. Anyone have any suggestions on ventilation?- Like a vent or just open the door...

Also Anyone have ideas on an easy way to clean out the spear hole on the return trip after a long week or couple days... Just use a ice saw or screening... or...

What type of design for a insulated hole cover, just like insulation on the underside of the cover?

Ya that is what I was thinking.

Make sure the insulation don't touch the water so it would freeze in but you should have about 6 inches to the water right?

I would paint the inside flat black and that is what I do on mine really makes a differnce for veiwing just go to menards and pick up the cheapest flat black you can get and start up the heater get good and warm then shut off heater paint turn on heater and in no time it will be ready for use.

You definitely want to put a front lip on all the shelves, things always have a way of gravitating to the hole.

Just for you 2 guys Ill put the darned lip in lol, Ill be posting pics throughout the day, woulda posted some yesterday but my phone/camera died.

Got the heater hung... Warms it up in here quite a bit, Will be getting a 20lb tank shortly which will sit outside.
