[kevfish1]

Got started with my new fish house app. 2 months ago. Here are a few pics of where I am at. Building the house from the inside out because I am waiting on the RV aluminum siding to arrive.

Where did you get your frame and what are you using for studs?

the studs are 1 inch steel. 2 feet apart. I built the frame myself with a little help from relative that has built a bunch of them. Waiting on th dark green rv siding with a tan stipe. I am going to tyvek the outside 1st

[kevfish1]

14X7 PLUS 2 FOOT v FRONT

Where did you get the Studs at? What gauge are they? I found that the big M store has them and you can order pretty much any size and gauge. They definitly are much more money though.

[kevfish1]

Studs came from midwest iron in mankato. Not sure what guage but they will never bend crack or rot.

Did you weld or bolt the studs to the trailer? I am thinking of using metal studs when I do mine.

[kevfish1]

weld

Ordered some hole covers and lites from fish house supply and had them on my door step in 2 days. Great service. Been waiting on some siding from a different company for over a month now. May just have to get some from fish house supply as I am growing very impatient

I'm thinking about building one from the frame up. What did you use for material for the frame? I was thinking 2X3 but not sure what gage.

[WoodDuckie]

Looks good! Definetely Tyvek it and don't go with anything other than Tyvek or one that looks like it (webbed fibers). I was wondering where you ordered the sising from and if you every got it?

The inside looks beautiful. Knotted pine strips? Nicely done. Keep us posted as progress continues.

The siding is finally here and I have started to put it on. All the t and g is on and i got the front cabinet and counter top on . Will post the updated pics soon

[kevfish1]

Here are some updated pictures. still need to make some cabinet doors, put up trim, carpet etc. I did get to make one trip with the house late season for some perch action on winnie.

There's a place not too far from you in annandale that sells siding and roofing. google "prject fish house". I don't know if they have the exact same siding that was used in this project though...

[kevfish1]

Yep I got the siding from project fish house in annandale. Spendy stuff but looks good and very easy to work with.
