House Build

[SSW/T]

This comes no where close to how amazing the houses on here are, but its what ive been working on, on and off, this winter

framed, starting to put siding on

more siding

window and door framed, siding done

tin work done....i used used tin for this, had to pick through it a little bit, but should be just fine with a coat of paint this summer

insulating the inside

paneling the inside with osb

counter top framed in

still have a lot of work to do on it yet, im planning on putting a dinette in the far side that'll fold down to be the bed, as well as the catch-cover hole sleeves once i get them then ill get those in with lights over the holes

Are you going to put runners on it?

[jwmiller33]

Looks great! how much do you have into it so far?

[SSW/T]

yep runners will be done at the same time as the hole covers...all total i have in about 650 into the house, probably about another 350 to go give or take itll be about a 1000 project

way too much....im really not sure, when im all done i'm going to bring it over the scale just so i know, but i'm really not that concerned.........ive got a lake right by the house that i'm going to stick it out on when there is 14-16" next year and then leave it till spring....not planning on moving it from lake to lake at all, just have it at the one spot

I have a house of similar size, maybe bigger (8x12). Had it out this year on 5" of ice with a 4 wheeler pulling it. It didn't even make the ice sag. Certainly do what you feel comfortable with, but you won't need to wait for 16" of ice unless that is what you want to do.

i did build this pretty heavy....but the main reason i'm going to wait for real thick ice is i dont have a wheeler, so i'll be pulling it on a trailer with my 4x4

You need to start making friends

No need to feel that your house is any less than others on here. It is a fish house, and looking good. All that matters is if YOU are satisfied with it.

Your gonna have alot of fun it that baby!

Nice looking house so far. It's rewarding fishing out of a house you build yourself.
