cryLOL We have though about it. However being 5 hours away we decided that it might not be worth the trouble, easier to rent from the resort. We have a 5th wheel trailer at our disposal, strap 'er down like hay bales and hit the road. If I was only closer... frown

Yuh, that was a little crazy last summer for sure with the high prices. I bought a cabin 5 years ago and spent an entire weekend up at LOW looking for a place, however I decided I did not want a 4-5 hour drive every Friday night to go that far. Fortunate we found a nice place on a very good lake an hour from my driveway. I love LOW, and look forward to every trip on the hard water though. Being down in Jordan you can add a lot more time to that ride. Hopefully this summer will be friendlier to the tourist industry. The resort on Mille Lacs where we have a perm said they were down 30% last summer. Thats awfully tough on any business. Headed to LOW next Wed for the last hoorah, I hope.

there are guys that will haul it for you, or if you have access to rent/borrow a flatbed, that's all they use. I have had my 10x16 moved twice without any problems. going as far as you'd go, I'd take extra precautions with shingles/etc, but would be easy to do.

BigPike: The house I have for sale would be an excellent house for LOW. Its big enough to accomadate some people and yet not so big that you would have to bust your b***s moving it around. As Ryan mentioned there are people who will move them, in fact when we first had it it was on the west side of Mille Lacs and we moved it to the east side. A friend of ours has a 5th wheel goose neck and he would probably be able to move it up there for you. We loaded it with a skidder and away we went. Where it is now stored they have a skidder and getting it onto a trailer wouldn't be a major deal. I'll shoot you some pics, let me know what you think. I am headed up in the next couple of weeks to paint the inside again. We thought about tongue and groove but haven't done it yet, but it would really deck it out. bill

BigPike: Can't find the pics right now. I will have my son send them to me again and I will get them to you today. As far as moving it regarding shingles, that wouldn't be a problem we put a metal roof on it last year. I also have a spare key so if you would buy it and you come up and see my vehicle there just knock three times, I'd pack up and leave. grin

I got the pics etc.. Thank you very much. The problem I am having is the guy that is going in on it with me wants.. Get this.. a 12 x 24 house so we can sleep 4 without hauling cots etc in and out all the time. I am going to send him the pics and see what he says.

Thanks again,

Scott

BigPike: This house does have 4 bunks. In the picture that shows the stove, counter and cabinets, if you turned around right behind you would be another 4 bunks. There is also a fold up table which would be behind you as well. just wanted to clarify, the bunk question. Good luck if you're headed to Red or LOW this weekend. Bill

      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

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
