Kylersk your house looks great. You are out pacing me in building. I will haveto post some pics in a month. I have to cut 3 pices for my siding and 3 roof pices and then Paint everything. I will have all my Brake lighting by the end of the month. If I get mine painted in a few weeks I will be able to bring it home. Then I can work on the inside some.

Look's great. Looks like you have had a very busy summer.

Thanks for the compliment. It hasnt been too busy.. I've had alot of layoffs because of heat and other things. But overall this project has been a lot of fun to work on.

Now I'm hitting the home stretch. About all I have left is install carpet, upper bunk, ceiling, couple of cabinets, gas lines for heater, finish trim work, complete wiring, and figure a way to install my hole lights. I think that's all I have left.

There's a few other options that I'd like to do but may not finish this year: Diamond plate the front (using wood for now) and install a gas cook stove.

mnfishingguy, It looks like I have just over $2000 in the house, 600 in furnace, and ~600 in the trailer. Hours? No clue. I started the trailer this past winter and house, I think in March? Doing a little here and a little there.

Again I say your house looks great, you obviously take pride in what you do.

I would be curious as to what it weighs when it is finished. I am always looking for new ways to do things and weight is always a consideration.

Keep up the good work and maybe I will see you on Mille Lacs this winter.

Thanks, I've never done anything quite like this. So, it's been alot of fun seeing it come together.

As far as the Gathering in Rogers, If I do go, I doubt my house will be ready. But who knows.

I have to say this is one project that looks awesome and a blast to do.....Now, how can I talk my wife into thinking this would be a good idea....Maybe in a few years I can talk her into something like this. You have definately made this project look easy. I am jealous.....$4k for a home built ice house? unbelievable

Picked the cabinets up at Menards (corner) and home depot (side). I originally bought the side cabinet thinking it would work in my bathroom area for wiring and such, but it was too wide. They are both unfished and their 'stock' cabinets. The corner one was ~$80 and the side about $30. Not sure if thats reasonable or not.

Little update, for those that are watching...

Put carpet in and started the base trim. I've kinda left the bathroom area fall behind. No ceiling or anything in that area yet.. Anyways, here's the pics.

I was looking at the pictures of your fish house trailer and noticed a couple of things. First, you've decided not to slide the spring pin though the spring hole, but instead sort of trap the spring in the mount. Why have you decided to do this? I can see that it would be much more user friendly than trying to align a swiviling bracket with the hole. I like the idea and may use it when modifying my trailer.

Second. What gauge steel did you decide to use? It looks like 1/8". If that's true, I'm happy to see that. In the past, I've seen poeple use 3/6" throughout, but the added weight and certainly the added cost (@0.70 cents to 0.80 cents/lb) doesn't weigh out, so to speak, IMO that is.

You're doing an awesome job! Keep up the good work. Are you planning on making it to the fish house mod get together on the 23rd? Oh yeah, where are you located?

A friend of mine, who built one, talked me into the design.

Yup, 1/8" 2x3 steel for the main frame, and 3x3 for the tongue.

Thanks for the compliment, but the camera can hide alot of the flaws. cool.gif

I plan on attending the gathering, but without my house.

I live about 30 miles west of Minneapolis.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
