aluminum frame

Very nice looking house Big Ick... do you raise and lower it with hydraulics?

Big Ick.... How did you do the wheels like that. That looks really slick! Are those steel plates with some sort of bushing material?

If you are worried about rust, look at doing the frame in stainless steel. It never dawned on me till I saw 2 house frames done that way last summer. This guy built them 102" wide by 20' long, with the wheels on the inside. He said the weight between steel and stainless, stainless was 100lbs more. The cost was the killer I thought, $4500. But then if it would last forever is that a big factor, cost per year of ownership. He made everything out of stainless right down to the spindles for the wheels. The fish house will also be his camper in the summer. One less toy to own.
