Keeping holes open in permanent house

[Stillcanmake8guy]

Do any of you have any ideas to keep your holes from freezing shut in the permanent house, after a few days away? I have nothing but trouble trying to auger them open after a couple days of freezing. Any ideas?

Thanks,

THERE ARE A COUPLE PRODUCTS THAT IVE SEEN ON THE MARKET. ONE IS A BLOW UP TUBE YOU PUSH DOWN THE HOLE AND HOLD IT DOWN WITH A BOARD UNDER THE FLOOR. JUST LET A LITTLE AIR OUT OF THE TUBE AND IT RELEASES. REMOVE THE BOARD AND IT POPS RIGHT OUT. THE OTHER IS A METAL TUBE THAT PUSHES DOWN THE HOLE HELD DOWN THE SAME WAY. TO RELEASE IT JUST PUT A PIECE OF NEWSPAPER IN THATS ON FIRE AND IT WARMS THE SIDES AND POPS OUT. MAYBE GIVE IT A TRY WITH A LARGE COFFEE CAN OR SOMTHING A LITTLE DEEPER.
