Perm Shacks need to get off?

40's or more most of the week, and some wind. I would pull it.

The ice will flood quickly with melted snow and the landings will deteriorate fast with all the road salt run off on them.

I would air on the side of caution and get the perm on hard land and then see if it refreezes well enough to access again.

Depends where your house is? It should be fine if its blocked up. It will get cold again! We are in Minnesota. No need to drop everything and get your house off. Not sure where Eddy gets his forecast for, maybe Iowa? I see only thursday getting above 40 this week. Then it will get chilly again.

here in central MN forecast is 40s Mon Tue Wed, then cooling off into 20s for the daily high.

Last night in my permie I could hear water dripping and sloshing against my walls from the wind whipping it up. i'm considering pulling it this week. if not sooner. can always bring it back out.

Out by me all of the permies are pretty much pulled out already. I think there were three total on the lake along with about 6 inches of water in some places. I didn't drive out there because my car sucks on the snow and ice, plus I dont want to go under.

I dont want to go under.

Come on guys, its been a few days near 40, the ice/landings haven't deteriorated to a point of becoming unsafe.

A nice thaw actually, to kill the snow on the ice. Looks like we're back to winter starting Thursday afternoon.

I meant under as in ground clearance in the water. My car stock has 5.4 inches of ground clearance. With that six inches of water on the ice I am close to getting flooded when I open the doors. My tires are also down to the wear bars so I might as well have on racing slicks

Not that bad out there. Just moved the house to a different spot today. Had about an inch of standing water around the sunny side of the house where it was sitting before I moved it. Still have a fair amount of snow in a few areas of the lake.

I am pulling mine as its just mainly used for spearing, and I haven't seen anything the last few times out, plus with this warm up the water is getting really murky and hard to see my decoys down at 6 feet. Plus the public access is 6 inches of pure water on top of the ice...and this lakes access always goes fast, so I am just taking the safe route and pulling my permanent spear house (I still have a portable I spear out of)...each lake is different and seeing the forecast most lakes will be fine they will just be a whole heck of alot easier to get around on.

Pulling mine off a metro lake tonight. Won't be able to use it enough before they have to be off to make it worth risking it.

If I go out after today it will be in a portable - or if the temps stay in the 40's and 50's maybe a 5-gallon bucket and an umbrella for some shade laugh

I'm hearing some news reports of cars going under (I think in S. MN)...which I find surprising considering the amount of good ice still left on the lakes. Though, of course, all lakes are different. The landings are going to be a real mess if we get the rain they are forecasting for Thursday.

      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.
