Hey LRG -

I was curious how the inaugural season in the new house went last year after following the build. Looks like it was a success! Congrats

Thanks!

The house worked out incredibly well. I put as much time in planning as I did actually building it, so there weren't any surprises. The last few weeks have been spent 'fall cleaning' and making some minor tweaks. I spray foamed the outside of the wheel wells to help protect against road spray. It should help with keeping the house warmer, too.

I'm giving consideration to coming out of fish house building retirement for 'one more' build. Not anything of this caliber, but a smaller one for early and late ice.

Outside of the wheelwells? I know you're skirted but does the road slop actually hit the foam? That sounds like a dumb question but I'm still up in the air about wheelwells because of how many people say aluminum diamond plate looks terrible so fast.

I agree with showpropserv-we're all nuts!

About the best picture I have is this one:

A10C5ED3-2690-45A8-A53D-5ACDDED01BCD-311

You can see the white aluminum that I used to line the inside of the wheel wells. This was spray foamed against from the inside originally:

3B4522C4-6DDD-46C1-9DE0-7DD92927F21C-210

And I pulled the wheels off, covered everything with plastic, and spray foamed it also from the outside. I probably wouldn't have needed to, but I want to make sure that this thing is still going down the road in 30 years without any problems.

Anyone who is thinking of spray foaming, I used the FrothPak from Menards. Worked great! I don't think I'd ever hire out the job again.

I just watched the guy do mine this weekend, super simple. I've been told the fumes are nasty, it's the same chemical that screwed up a bunch of people at a Deerwood Strand Board company. I couldn't smell anything but I was going outside regularly. I think you are going to see a lot of guys doing it on the side for a lot less than the insulation companies. I was surprised to see how controllable it was, not like great stuff at all.

I'd second that idea just to watch the progress again. Heck, If you ever need a second hand or would take a weekend apprentice, I'm in!

Or, maybe I'll have to contract you out if I ever want to replace my castle wink

Here's mine I started on this past summer. It was inspired by Lip-Ripper's build. Not quite done yet,still need to install the interior cabinets. A little smaller at 6.5' X 15' but that's all the wife and I need plus it keeps it lighter.

38.... how bright are them black lights on the roof?

Those are 110V Xenon puck lights from HD that can also be mounted flush. They are bright and fairly cheap. They are only 20W each and I have them set up so I can run them on a 110V gen or inverter with the 12V batt. They even come with a dimmer. I have other overhead 12V led lights (not very bright) as well as 12V LED wall mounted spot lights (very bright) and a 12V LED ribbon type running the length of each wall (very bright and cheap).

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
