I told the wife the other day that there was ice on the mud puddles out in our field and she said "can you ice fish in them"?? She knows I have it bad!! There are the times when you just can't fish---its really bad between seasons......

At one point about a month and a half ago my flip over shack was setup next to the boat in our two car garage. Needless to say the fishing addiciton kept anyone from parking in the garage. Now the boat has been winterized but the shack remains setup. I keep adding on new "upgrades" to pass the time until the ice is here.

Sometimes I'll sit out in the shack and drink beer and listen to music. Reminds me of ice fishing. The wife started getting suspicious and the other day burst open the garage door and asked if I was playing with myself in there, lol. Her words were a bit more vulgar though.

No honey, just getting anxious for some ice!

Related... sort of.

I constantly ask the wife if she wants to conceive in the ice house or in the boat...

I don't have any kids frown

My house is in my driveway and I am always in it doing something. Then I hear this from the wife " Do you have to be in that thing all the time now when there is no ice" "You know that you will be living in that thing when there is ice". I can have more fun sitting in it than in my own house.

I wish my flip over house was in the garage, heck I'd even turn on the Mr. Buddy Heater! Mine stuff is still packed away on the snowmobile trailer. bah.

Hah! I've actually been using my Mr. Heater in there for the past few weeks. I like to sit out there in my T-shirt. It's my man fort. Tonight I install the tow bar I made up copying the other thread posted a few weeks back. Crank up the radio, crack open a frosty, and get to work. Not much better way to spend a Friday night this time of year when your married with children. (Power tools, a beer or two, and ice fishing equipment) I'll probably end up with a little helper or two to boot.

I was thinking about filling the sink up with water and ice, throwing fish in there and watch the Vikes while I ice fish this Sunday... Please tell me I am not the only one.

Hey tsnade, you should tell everyone how you convinced your wife to fish as much as you want this year. It would show you dedication.

This is just to funny. My wife loves to see me wait for ice fishing. She is always catching mr pretending to catch fish with rods I am getting ready to fish with. She just shakes her head and tells me there are things around the house that need to be done....................Grrrrrrr!

My wife peeked over my shoulder while I was reading this and said "Oh wow, there are other people out there like you..."

Rock on! She said it makes her feel better that she's not married to a nutcase.

I'll have to have my wife read through this thread so she sees I'm not the only nutcase out there either, lol. grin

We're not the nutcases, the people that don't fish are. grin

      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.

      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.
