Bucksnort101 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Paint it with a whole flock of Pink Flamingos standing on a frozen lake all gathered around a lone fishing hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be a brave man I don't think I would let my wife paint or even choose the colors for my ice house, well that is if I hand one. I could see it now "Easter Egg Camo" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeLakeTom Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Or mauve and fusia!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 paint it up like the Partridge Family Bus. But instead of the family of partridge in single file, I'd stick with the flamingos. Or you could go with the flower power "Summer of '69" type theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSCHOPSHOP Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 8X12 hope the garage door is big enough??? Paint his favorite Booze or Beer label on the side, I've seen a Budweiser, and a Copenhagen painted house. L@@KED GOOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Almquist Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Welcome to Fishing Minnesota littlewifey! It's nice to have you here!Maybe you could paint it sort of a tropical scene with palm trees and those aforementioned pink flamingos with warm blue water-maybe a sunset on the ocean? That would be cool! Good thing I'm not painting it though. I guess you really can't beat the red and white Daredevil colors though-at least no snowmobiler could smack into it! Whatever you decide-take pics when you're done so we can see how it looks, ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gissert Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 That's funny Lisa. As I was scrolling thru this, I was thinking of a fish house that used to be on my lake about 20 years ago.Tropical scene complete with the palm trees you mention. I dont remember too many of the fine details, but the best part was painted on the back side. It read, "Please use basement door." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, hahaha!!!How funny you should mention that.. that was the first thing I asked him after he had it framed up, "Will it fit out the garage door?"

Iambjm Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think you should paint a picture of a guy sitting on a bucket fishing on the side. Then maybe the thieves will stay away thinking that there is someone there, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenn57 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 it took me a few days to think of a response, but heres my idea. take all thee above suggestions, do the math and divide all 4 sides of the fishouse into that many squares and paint all of thee above. heck if the fishhouse isnt done now you will have all summer to get-r-done.
