if it wasnt for this forum....

If it wasnt for this forum my small little 4x8 would be either destroyed or cut apart. I went out to our local littel lake to retrieve my perm before the end date for inland waters. I hadnt been out there but once this year cause fishing was so bad with all the natural forage this year. to my dimay an a few choice words when I found out my perm had been frozen but good. Ice on top of the floor. Oboy.. I chip a little an nudge it with teh suburban a little but nothin, talk about being dead in the water. I called a freind an he hel with huge torch a good chipper an a chain saw, an still nothing. He had brought along what must have been 60 feet of chain,first we tried to jerk it free, nothin. Then I remembered a thread on this forum about perms being frozen in an how to get them out. A few said shot it out, some said heat it up, chipping,melting, ect ect. But the advise we used was to get the chain under each corner in the rear of the house an just pull it with a truck, sonofa bit, just like filleting a walleye. That was so cool I wish I could do it again. So thanks for all those ideas that are recomended on this forum. If it wasnt for this forum my house would probabley be in pieces. Thanks Boar

That is a great Idea! I take it you had a steel frame? I never thought of that, and could have used that Idea to help a guy get his off this last weekend, his was froze down pretty bad, and it wasn't going no where.

Hey terry Yea I'm a little shallower on harpoon use to be walleye, an further west a good quater mile or so, not gonna be up this weekend, next weekend for sure, I got news from reliable that its picking up shallow again. Good luck an let me know how ya do. No ac77, just a wooden floor with 2x2 runners which i think helped. Boar

Marmot had this same problem back in January.

I had posted an idea like this and jeffb had commented on it.

Works well with a cable or chain as long as you can get it under

the skids.

Not sure if this was the thread you read or not, but good to hear you got it out and that the trick has some merit.

BTW, I did not come up with this idea. Read is on another post at one point.
