Fish house show and tell?

[mark n]

WOW !

Is that green machine nice or what..

Is that flat screen tv for real?

-------------------------------------

widwtrack...does the rnshack get tipy out in the wind?

[Big Ick]

It is. I also use it in my bedroom, so it's not exclusive to the fish house. It's nice, but the best thing in the house is the MP3 capable cd player. 1 disc, 300 songs+ and not having to monkey around to get some tunes is very, very nice.

Just got done with putting on some fresh poly and adding some cupboards. I want to add 2 boats seats before fall, looking for some deals over the summer.

Dont tell my wife its a fish house not a camper

Couldnt see the dust when I was in the house but the pictures sure does show it. I brushed the walls with poly but sprayed the ceiling. Luckily the overspary dried before hitting the floor. Note to self. use drop clothes.

The table folds out to a double bunk aswell if needed.

Its been alot of fun getting this the way I wanted it. Problem is everytime I complete one project I find 2 or 3 more.!!

Nice fish house! The calender is a nice touch

I'm going to organize another "Portable Fish House Modification Get Together" this year, and I'm going to include drop-down fish houses too. This way people can bring along their drop-down fish houses for show and tell as well as their portables.

It'll probably be sometime this summer and we're tentively planning it to be held out at Art Barbarians located right next to Cabela's in Rogers... I'll keep everyone posted...

If so could you let me know where you got it.

Lazydayz, It looks like you have the RV style windows in your shack. Do you have a problem with them icing up? I have them in mine also and have had a terrible problem with condensation and icing. I am going to tear apart the inside this summer and see what I can do for more insulation and was considering replacing the windows with some regular thermo pane.

[LaZyDayZ]

To be honest I only had this house on the ice one time late in the season on LOW. It was freazing out but not frigid.

I guess I dont have enough expierance with it to tell yet. I hope not...

matt, i am glad to hear you are expanding the get-together to pull-behinds. i just bought my first pull behind fishhouse this spring. it doesnt have a thing in it so i will be fixing it up this summer, i am always loking for ideas. what i am trying to say is sooner is better than later for me, in order to do it right the first time! 9i have dreamed of owning one for years and finally said screw it and took out a high-intrest loan and did it. payments are a bummer but hey, i got a fish house! i will look for dates of the upcoming event.

Lazydayz,

I like your design of the side mounted bunks with the cables hanging from the ceiling. Never seen that one before. Do those bunks have hinges mounted on the bottom or do they just hang from the walls when they're in the upright position?

Also is your house a full 8 feet wide so the wheels crank up inside those shelves on the side of your house?

Love that house! Obviously a lot of time and care has gone into it. I'd be interested in seeing exterior pics too.

[LaZyDayZ]

Well beer batter and others, while I would like to take credit for the entire thing I can not. While I have done a ton of modifications to it, the core layout of the house was not made by me. I purchased it finished.

Yes there are hinges on the bottom & yes full 8' wide.

The cables do not carry much weight. The bunk resting on the countertop and hinges carry most of it.

you can get a motion sensor solar recharged light at northern tool or from dayco they run about 75 bucks and dont drain thr house batteries i have had one on my perm for six years and love it. ... paul

nytelyter,

You should dress up your house with some pictures

[nytelyter]

now why would you say that? heheheh i figger the more of the pink i can cover, the better it is. i have a rail around the top of the walls that i pin all my catch pictures on as well.and a print of my trophey walleye up too. you can spend over an hour reading all the jokes and cartoons up on the wall. and i have a huge stack of new ones yet to be put up since the remodel. ... paul

Sound theory! Who needs panneling when you have posters and pics! I bet they weigh less then 1/12 of other wall coverings!
