Hang in there for the photo's. I sent them to Paul late this morning and I would assume that he probably won't post till this evening after work?

It is a 6.5 x 14 Roadking frame. Thanks. It was a lot of fun building. I am getting pretty anxious for some serious ice. LOL

[LuckyFish]

Great looking house! Can I ask how much the completed project cost? Where are you planning on putting it? So I can come fish out of it. hehe

Tightlines, you've got a heck of a fish house there. I'll be in Fargo this Thursday, I may give you that call and come take a peek. One problem, my email program went to ***t so I lost all my info in it along with your number. Would you mind emailing it to me again. [email protected].

Thanks,
Fisherdog

Are there four holes, or six holes? And I assume that those are hole lights, on the sides, correct? What are the black boxes below the cabinets by the tv?

[upnorth]

I am green with envy Sweet ice shack!!

[Dennis Steele]

Sweeet!
Looks very professional.When are we going fishing?!

[EBass]

That should give you years of enjoyment. The only thing that I didn't see is reflectors on all sides. Very nice shanty!

[Guest]

WOW Tight! Excellent job! A few questions What is the final weight? final cost? Where did you find the parts like doors windows?
I noticed the vinyl siding what are the corners they dont look like the typical big vinyl corners.
Roof material? wood frame? I was in one that a guy built last year not nearly as nice as this, he had a homemade operating exhaust fan over the stove he used I believe a blower from a small car for the fan he says it works great for the fish fry
Congrats on your new home and don't forget the champaigne and the ribbon cutting.

This is 100% what its all about...

I am in the remodeling and window business so I got a good deal on the windows,aluminum siding,cabinets and strong panel steel roof. It is all wood construction on top of a Roadking frame. I had it out to the weigh station and it came in at 2100 lbs. I have a little over $5000.00 invested. Probably over 150 hours including the drive time looking for that one needed hard to find screw or whatever.LOL I pick up the dinnette at a RV store for 225.00 Got the carpet at a boat dealer for 20.00 bucks. He was about to throw it out and it was a 300.00 dollar peice that they had taken a small corner off to do a repair on a boat. I did get lucky on a few found items.Got a lot of ideas from you folks. Thanks for all the tips...
BTW-- the corners are steel siding j-channel. Didn't think that the aluminum J would hold up as well as the steel.

Tightlines-
Yes! Now that's what we like to talk about around here. I like it. I like it. I like it a lot.

Now for some tough questions. After all the work you put into the house I know you have a new found respect for the so-called "pro's", but if you were to sell your house what is it worth to you? Also,now that you are about to throw your wallet out on the ice have you thought of any ways to try and safeguard it?
Those are a couple of the questions I had to answer when the thought of leaving the shack out on the lake for any extended period of time came up. I found out that we don't own our materials,...materials own us. I'm not trying to be a downer, just thought that we could start another dialog. TROY
