Hubs said I could paint the outside of the fish house...

[littlewifey]

He's building an 8x12 in the garage, I'm trying to think of something creative, but I'm kinda stumped.

Any ideas? Many thanks!

[mngirl]

I would say put bright green polka dots on it!!!! JK

How good are your painting skills?

[littlewifey]

My painting skillz aren't as good as meh bow staff skillz, but pretty decent (lol)... I've been sketching out a couple vintage pinup girls with fishing poles.. Would that be lame?

[Bucksnort101]

Paint it with a whole flock of Pink Flamingos standing on a frozen lake all gathered around a lone fishing hole.

That would be sweet

Paint it in Packer green and yellow. That would get some attention. j/k

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"

[UdeLakeTom]

Or mauve and fusia!!!

[Dave S]

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.

Pinup girls? Will you attempt this freehand, or trace someone?

Are you offering to model?

[Cicada]

The fish house isn't wide enough.

[UdeLakeTom]

Not sure if I would really want to see that either!!

[SSCHOPSHOP]

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.

[Lisa Almquist]

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?

[Gissert]

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."

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?"

[vintagejoe]

Paint it like a giant, Lowrance Little Green Box, Fish LO-K-TOR

Joe

[jkjkoda]

Paint it so it looks like an Island.

[Iambjm]

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,

[glenn57]

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.
