Jigging55 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 With no snow on lakes how do you keep your house from skating across the ice and get it dark enough with no banking materials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklean Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Saturday with the cold weather i just packed all the blocks pieces around my house the cold froze them down pretty quick and stuck my chisel in the ice right next to the house to, it was pretty bright in the house though with no snow couldn't do anything about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunnie Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have 2 eyelets at the bottom of my house in the corners that I drill or chop holes and ice the rope in. If it isn't cold enough drill through and tie the rope to a stick and push it down across the bottom of the hole.I use hemp rope for the enviroments sake. The hous will always be there when you arrive. Cut rope above the ice to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ1657 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have some seat belt material that I use for making handles for lifting my house, door pulls etc.... They are very tough.I'm going to attach some to my house and use the ice screws from my Eskimo hub house to screw my house down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordie Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Take the slush from augered holes or make some slush with your auger.I have used cardboard. It doesnt hold up that well ,it gats wet and falls apart. I dont like as it freezes down to easy and your left with a mess. I have seen a few guy make skirts around the bottom of their shacks with canvas also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
