looks like a great house and well built now if you could make it spearing season that would be awsome

great pics and a job well done

Thanks Elwood.

Were going to build them a perm house one of these weekends. Building houses and messing around with equipment is almost as fun as getting out on the lake spearing for me.

where did you get the canvas?

[MJ1657]

He got it at Wyoming Canvas for $80. Its lighter weight than the canvas I got in Rogers but I think it will work fine. Its really dark inside the house.

Nice job!

Thanks for posting pics.

It looks like you guys put green treated 1x2's on the bottom of the plwood floor. Why do that? Just curious. I'm thinking of making a plywood floor for my Quikfish 3.

Thats just what dealer bought. They were nice and straight so they worked out good.
