KidMoe Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Pushbutton, WhiskeyPete, and Upnorth, I really like the idea of a skid house especially after seeing your pics. A wheelhouse is years out of the budget for me but i really like the added space in a skid house. Couple questions though: How much 'stuff' do you feel comfortable leaving out there when your not around? Do you use a resort to do the pulling and storing? DO you find you do more fishing knowing that the shack is all setup? THanks,Kidmoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDogRob Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I've never added a photo, but I will try this is my new RV edition Ice Castle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Melon - that looks awesome! I love spending time in my Spirit as well. But i have to ask about the awning? Did you put it on yourself? Does it ever get in the way during the winter months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-man715 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hoping to be at Zipple Bay for New Years. What does a beauty like that go for? Who makes it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcjsy Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Not quite as fancy but was able to pick up from Carsella for $4800 brand new a few years back. It came completley finished with forced air heat and a tube frame and heavy axles. No compalints great house for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yetti Master Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Was that finished by Ice Castle? Looks very similar to the finishing Fish N Style does...at any rate I like that Ice Castle. Nice home premium windows, and what looks to be quality finishing. Good buy!EDIT: Now i'm wondering if my Yetti dealer isn't sending those units off to Ice Castle to be finished? I mean, they have all the same dinettes, couches, and light housings as the lake of the woods models. Does not sit well with me.... As another Yetti dealer, I know and work with Matt @ Fish-N-Style and can with out a doubt tell you that Ice Castle is NOT finishing his houses. The guys that are finishing the Yetti houses are using the some of the same interior components simply because they are a good value, best quality, or readily available, etc. Hope this clears things up for you!

Twins 57 Fan Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 My house officially belongs in the ghetto area of the lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambjm Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have to chuckle, everywhere I go with my Yetti (been hauling it around to get supplies for the finishing) people ask me if they can see it. I was headed down to the Twin Cities with it and had at least 6 people ask to see it. Maybe if I haul it around enough I should get a discount from a Yetti dealer on my next one for all the referrals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip_Ripper Guy Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 This one has been pretty well documented on this site (2010 Fish House Build), but I'll post a few in here anyways: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bturck Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 pushbutton: Nothing wrong with your house from the pictures. Functional, thats the key. Looks like you lost out on the bottom bunk though,the puppy has the territory staked out....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melon Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Doc, I bought the house with the awning already on it. Although I have taken it off before and is very easy (with two people). It does not get in the way for ice fishing at all. It stays rolled up and out of the way and doesn't add a whole lot of wait so I've decided it's easiest just to leave it on all the time. It's an awesome addition for the one or two times I use it in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodman Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Clueless look south from your lake view and that is mine! Good to have a great neighbor on the lake! See you this afternoon! Oh, yeah and Randy and I will keep an eye on your shack all winter if you need us too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDogRob Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Vman, I love the idea of hanging the cooking equipment on the ceiling... Thinking of building a smaller house in a year or two and think that is really a GREAT idea. I hope you don't mind, but I think I am going to have to steal that idea.I'm thinking that with this weather mine isn't going to get used much this winter.

BigDogRob Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Clueless, let me know how you like that front door placement after a few slushy trips. I looked at that also and was concerned with the thing freezing up with slush then cold temps while driving. Then I decided to go a different way and found the RV edition for almost a steal of a deal. I am thinking it may be a Red Lake trip in order to get mine on a lake anytime soon. Here's to good fishin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
