HELP - Disaster on the news last night

We are now up to $488

A basic fish house I believe will run in the $4-5000 range. The special needs will add more. We may be able to negotiate a reduced cost with some Fish House manufacturer. I will get more details as to the type of house he had and try to match or improve upon it depending on the donations given and the wishes of Jon Fenner.

I just saw KSTP rerun the story about this house of Jon Fenner’s terrible situation on the 6:00 PM news.

They left a tease on “See Who Is Stepping Up To Help” at 10:00??

Has anyone contacted KSTP?? Maybe FM will get some identity on how we can help out one another??

I sent them an E-Mail early this morning asking if there was a place to contribute to help him out. I never heard a word from them.

Then I seen the post that “Fishin4life” posted and got this whole thing started.

Donation on the way... I'm also willing to donate time and/or labor in building the new house if it comes to that.

Mortgage guy, I just figured out what the finance directer let me spend for beer and bait and donated that grin.gif

This is a great act of compassion! I am not an Ice Fisherman but I do love to fish on the soft water. My donation may not be much but it is on the way.

Come on guys let's do this!

Rick please email me at [email protected]

Good Luck and God Bless the young man this is going to.

We are at $1,593.

We have one gentleman who donated $500 to the cause earlier today. I would love to tell you all who he is if I could only get permission from him.

As for the rest of you it's amazing and also so gratifying to me, and to many others I'm sure, to see the absolute generosity some of you are displaying.

May it come back to you 100 fold. I personally have no doubt that it will.

If everyone pitches in we hope to have Jon Fenner taken care of soon.

You guys are making my day and YOU along with KSTP are sending a powerful message to those vandals as well.

I can only imagine what this will mean to Jon.

Thank you and God Bless all of you. smile.gif

    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
