tysonsalla Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I posted a few pics of my skid house on another thread, I finished this weekend and figured I would post my own thread to help with a few questions that were asked. The house is 8x10. The skids are a 2"x6"x.25" wall with .25" x 6"plate welded to the 2x6. Floor joist are .25" 2x2s 2' on center with 5/8" plywood flooring. The walls and ceilings are both 2" foundation grade foam sheeting with the floor having 1.5". Spray foam wasn't in the budget for this one. I covered the floor and the 5" baseboard with behr deckover caulking the joint to have a shower pan style floor. The bench and drop away table are more for my kids as is the TV that hooks to the swivel mount via hitch pin. The 8k but direct vent takes a bit to get it heated but had the house to 70* after 2 hours today at 8* temps outside. I will probably use my big buddy to quickly heat while drilling the holes then let the direct vent takeover. I also built a 7" cpu server fan onto a cigarette plug to help move that air around. Its been fun building and should be a blast on the ice. It's I'll probably move onto a wheelhouse in a few years when my kids a bit older.

leech~~ Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Not sure what's going on with your pictures loading but I only see the last one. But, the house looks great! Well reopened it and now the rest are showing. I really wish I could get one like this that I could pull out with my sled. Nice work.

I hope mine turns out half this nice. Any idea on the weight? Can I get a better look at that ceiling? 9 hours ago, leech~~ said: Not sure what's going on with your pictures loading but I only see the last one. But, the house looks great!

It's only money, you can make more tomorrow. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tysonsalla Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 I got the green light to find a wheelhouse shell so I have decided to sell my skid house. If anyone is interested give me a call. https://stcloud.craigslist.org/spo/6001123804.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tysonsalla Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 I've received quite a few messages about my house for sale. Turns out I changed my mind for this year and will keep it. Thanks for all comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
