Good Job CC, I to went with Carsella after looking at Ice Castle. I shopped around a bit and one of the makers had a Ice Castle in their shop. They were trying to fix the frame on it. I guess it got tweeked pretty good going over a rough access. After seeing that I went with Carsella. I could get a tube frame with a much nicer finish job for about $1500 less. The guy at Henry Buildings, the place trying to fix the ice castle said he see a few of em each year. I would have to say the Henry Building fish houses had a massive tube frame. In my opinion they looked to be stronger built than any of the fish houses I looked at. I would say it was almost over kill. Anyhow they were not bad priced either. For bang for the buck in quality to dollar I had a good feeling about Carsella and went with them. No regrets as of yet.

Lucky you! I put in an order for a 14 foot plus V on the 9th of November, and have yet to hear anything from Don. I've even e-mailed and left messages for Don and Pam. I'm excited for the season, but this is leaving a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth...

Barehook, Im sure Don or Pam (my mother) are not ignoring you, they are just Super busy with getting their Red Lake property running and doing all the Ice Houses etc... If you still have not heard anything from them Let me know and I will get a hold of them asap for you.

Also I have a Decent amount of pictures of different builds they have Done in the past Shoot me an Email and I will get some pictures back to you asap... I have seen a lot of people wanting Pictures.

I just pulled the trigger on a similar house 6.5x12 with v front and double back doors and one side as I am doing removable bunks. I chose the Yetti for its lighter weight and no rust with the all aluminum frame and siding. I am very excited to see how it turns out. I will try and post some pics for you soon too. Good luck with your new house. In my opinion you cant go wrong with any house I have friends with ice castle and love em. same with lodge its all in what one can afford. Happy Fishing

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      Problems with Yetti

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
