New Shack Pics
« on: Jan 10, 2009, 10:04 PM »
Hey Guys,

Last year when I put my shack out a Large pressure ridge developed preventing me from using/tending to it. I had to wait for the ridge to freeze before I could get out to it ( use a 4 wheeler, don't have a sled  :-\ ). Needless to say the shack froze in solid and the only way to get it off the ice was to cut it up and take it back in pieces.  :'(

This gave me the opportunity to build a new and improved model  ;D Heres a few pics of the process....


Remains                                                                                                  Re-stored the frame



Started New Framing                                                                                Sheathed with 1/4" Sanded Plywood


Added Trim & Painted



Still working on the interior....Will add pics soon :)

Looks like a nice "playhouse" - "err" shanty, I mean.  :)  So what's your guess on the weight?

It should go about 1000 lbs, I'm actually gonna take it it to a local weigh station, and then I'll know for sure.

Hey V Dub, The roof is 1/4" ply, with metal roofing over that. I have a big tarp on top temporarily as we've had some freezing rain/sleet out this way and didn't want things freezing up while I'm working on it.

Yes I sheathed the outside with 1/4" sanded ply and then painted and trimmed out with 3/4" by 3" pine.  The inside will be done with luan.
I actually thought about a 4th window by the door but didn't bother with it.

How's your shack been for ya?

Im going to do a 2 axle 8x20 ft crank down.
