Spotter- Where do you put it out on Mille Lacs? I wouldn't mind checking it out sometime. I really like some of your ideas and would love to see them first hand. I only live about 45 minutes from Mille Lacs and I go there about 5-10 times a winter. Once you get it out and if you still have it let me know and if it isn't too much trouble I would love to see it.

coach , not sure where this year, last year was the first time on mille lacs ice and went out of barncale bills, this year i would like to go out of the south west part of the lake, stop on bye if you happen to stumble across, happy to show you. any ideas as to which place to go out of with nice access, not to steep or anything like that. im sure i still have it ,not really trying to sell it, but has crosssed my mind for some crazy reason.

TTT! Let's see some more!

Here's our camper conversion project right now - note the pile of moldy, crappy paneling, insulation, and cabinets.

Interior has been completely gutted and floor rebuilt (obviously still the old floor in these pics).

Here's a new feature for ya - does your fishhouse have this?

THE FISH DOOR

[BigDaddy]

You are doing a really nice job with that conversion by gutting that sucker first. And yes, I like the fish door. It could also double as a door to the world's largest freezer

[woodman]

MJ- Thanks for posting those pics for me.

Kylersk , I love your plans on your house, a few questions. what kind of rubber is onthe roof, were did you get it and how did you seal it where the siding meets the rubber roof? it looks like the water would run behind the siding? let me in on your secrets!

all very nice houses

[Tom Linderholm]

Well, after looking at everyones Mod's I decided to put a little work into my Voyaguer, here is the play by play.

I began by taking 2x2 strips and bolting them in around the tub with dividers installed in the middle.

Next I added in some 1/4" plywood and some automotive carpet secured with double sided tape. Then came the stereo, battery switch, light switches, and 12 volt outlet.

Everything is wired into a 12 volt ATV battery through a marine fuse block. The battery is charged with a cheapo portable charger which was mounted with the battery and modified to permanantly be hooked to the battery. The plug in was flush mounted on the rear of the tub using a marine thru hull power mount.

7 inch wide doors were attached on either side of the tub which allows for plenty of storage. Along with speakers mounted behind the stereo with a exterior tub mounted extendable whip attenna.

Finished project

[Kylersk]

Could have sworn I replied to this? Anyways...

That's one sweet mod Cheffrey! Now all I need to see is someone who has a Sat Dish installed in their portable.

Also, where did you get that thu-hull marine plug?

[Tom Linderholm]

Thanks Kylersk, marine plug was picked up at Marine General in Duluth. I pulled it off a boat I had in my field that didn't need it anymore.

As for the satellite? The 12 volt plug is for my Sirius radio that I use on my boat in the summer, why pay and not use it in the winter right?

[MNMAV93]

WOW. Those are some awsome ice houses. I wish I had that much ice around Des Moines so I could camp out like you guys. Great Builds

[eyemaster]

That is a nice portable. I am curious though, how long does your battery last? and how big of a battery is it?

[Tom Linderholm]

So far I have gotten 9 hours of radio, intermittent cigarette lighter and lights (3 hours) without running out of juice. More than I imagined.

The battery itself is a 12V, 165CA, and measures 7.25"L x 5.25"W x 6"H

Cheffrey

That is one pimped out shelter!!! Where is the Plasma TV? Nice job...

[MJCatfish]

A little banged up, but still works well.

[schweady]

mj- Looks like da Marriott to me, eh.

[Sandmannd]

Cheffrey, what type of charger did you use? Where did you get a cheaper one and about how much was it?

[MJCatfish]

I'd like to refer to it as the Lutefisk Bar and Lodge. It would be nice to get it out soon, I know that for sure.

Spotter where did you get the siding? Was it hard to install?

[spotter]

siding came from a place called Lampi auction, located in Annadale. Fish house supply also has the same stuff for sale on their HSOforum. Its easy to install with two people. Whoever you buy it from will more then likely give you good advice, the hardest part was the roof.

[LODFFB]

So if I would get that next year do you think I shouild rip off my 1/4 plywood siding, Just plywood nothing special. or would you lay it overtop? What did you do on your house. My house right now is 2800#-2900# range but I figured if I got any kind of siding I could save 150# which I would replace eventully with a RV furnace and stove w/ a small counter in front and a couple seats and counter in the rear w/a bunk.
