Title: MY NEW PERMY BUILD!
Post by: da man cave shack on Apr 03, 2013, 09:24 PM
Hay guys it's DA MAN CAVE SHACK it's been a while since I posted on here. But  I recently sold the cave and I got a good Price for it so I was happy. I am now in the process of starting to build my next shack. I will try to post pics tomaro but I can at least tell you about it today. It is going to be a 6.5' x14' v nose  crank down shack so from the tip of the nose to the back she will be 17'. I am building the frame out of 2"x3" steel tube and am costome making all of it including the crank down arms. The spindles are 3500lb spindles and it will use 5 on 4.5" rims and tiers. I think it is going to be named DA MAN CAVE II. that is as far as I have gotten I will try to get pics up soon. I am just so excited about it. Oh and I found 8 fish hole buddy covers on eBay for $80 and that seemed like a good price so I will finally have real hole covers in a shack which will be awesome.

I am using rustoleum rust stop gloss black enamel paint.

Check out POR 15 or even the aerosol cans of undercoating, rustoleum is the cheapest option but it will likely get sandblasted off your frame in one season.

Lookin good so far, I wish I had your tractor!

You are moving right along, very exciting! Thanks for sharing.

I think the paint will hold up fine, with the thick wall tubing you are using it will take a long time to rust through it. If you rinse the frame thoroughly before storing for the summer it will be fine for many years to come :tipup:

How do you plan to support the inside end of the swing axles??
Title: Re: MY NEW PERMY BUILD!
Post by: da man cave shack on Apr 09, 2013, 12:29 PM
How do you plan to support the inside end of the swing axles??
There is a 1/4 steel angel welded to 2x3 tube and when we instaled the swing axels we put the inside on a downwards angle and the welded them in so when the weight is addded they will be straight.

Ok. I have a tube that runs all the way through my frame and the swing axle is welded inside the tube and has 1/4" thick walls. I think I could park my pickup on top of it without bending it. The welding shops do a lot of business because guys have built a shack that is too heavy for the swing axle construction. Looks good so far.

Yes it is a flat rood and I thought abot a vaulted one but since it is already almost 9' tall when going down the road I decided to go with a flat roof. And I am not going to leave this shack on the lake over the week when I am not using it it will be in my driveway so if snow load does become a problem I will always be there to take care of it.

  Awesome job on this shanty! enjoying the post and all the pics. What are you gonna use for trim on all the corners and at the v- point? I am building a very similar rig to yours right now, and not sure what to use for corner trim and such. I think the home center stuff is kind off weak and thin for my use. I really want to bend my own out of diamond plate, but do not know anyone with a heavy duty 8' bending brake.....

Thanks, jimmyrig

Well around the windows I am going to use 2.5x2.5  store bought white trim, but I am not sure what to use on the corners and front of the V. I wanted to do dimond plate as well but man  that stuffs pricey.

I am going to copy your plans (If you don't care). I was wondering if you have anymore photos of your axle design ? I will PM you .

I started installing my exterior running lights. I have big orange ones about 3 feet uP from the bottom and then little orange one s about 10" down from the top. Ther will be 2 of each on both sides and then 1 of each on both sides of the V. I will put red ones on top in the back and then a triple red in the middle of the back and a break/turn signal night on the bottom on both sides at the back.

I built a steeel frame for the ATV door to keep the back from rocking side to side so much and it has seemed to work.

I had a tree fall on my travel trailer one year, and my homeowners insurance covered it, we were able to buy a new one. Not sure if this applys to you.... probably not  but maybe worth checkin.

 Good luck, I hope you rebuild..... it is an awesome shack!

Thanks guys for all the sympathy. I am going to fix it and keep going I actualy had to get away from all the cleanup work in my yard today so I went and spent another $425 ish on parts.lol. Dont tell anyone. But ya I got her upright and the damage isn't so bad. I just have to completely rebuild the nose and re wire the trailer lights airs through the tounge to the truck hook up as well as replace some of the marker lights on the sides. I will post pics of my rebuild as I go. thanks.

DA man cave you are welcome sir never easy to see a project someone has spent time and money on damaged or ruined. I have seen on other shacks reinforced areas with guy lines attached and fastened to boards or pipes submerged under the ice. When you rebuild maybe you can do something similar and also come up with some system to tie down the shack while it is in storage.

Well the wind came from a direction that hit it directly in the side, when going to the lake all the wind will be against the v of the nose and should be cut a lot easyer than a big flat side. As well as being hooked up to a 6000 pound pickup so I think going to the lake should be ok. At least I hope so. Lol.

for securing the shack down in the yard could you use those screw in dog tie outs and ratchet straps? some trapping suppliers have them also for screw in trap stakes theyre easy to weld up with some rebar a big washer and a nut

I wonder if the shack was sitting with the wheels cranked up.  When it is out on the lake it will be sitting down on the ice and would be more stable then i think.  Just got back to ice shanty here since so busy in the summer am very sorry for the damage that the storm did to your shack we all hope you can get it back in shape in time for the ice.  will defiantly make for some stories while your sitting in it fishing this winter.  Good luck on the build/rebuild is cool to see all your pics.

I have got windows to caulk and now I have all the insulation I need so I can get that installed.

Well insulating isn't as easy as it looks. And a lot messier than I thought it would be. And the insulation tha I am using for most of it is a self extinguishing board insulation I got it for FREE lol but  I thought that f I could at least use tha close to were the wood stove will be would probably be a good thing.

  What are you planning on saving from the old camper? Just curious

  jimmy
Well I am going to use the door out of it as well as the cabnet hardware since tv handels lock shut for travel. I might use one of the 12 v lights from it in the bathroom of the shack. I am also salvaging all the windows  out of for feuture shack builds. it as well as another stove/ oven combo. The sink I am thinking about making a portable fish cleaning table with the sink in it. I got the hole think on a barter deal of I can take whatever I want off the camper if I take the whole thing. Oh and I am going to use some of the siding on the back of the shack and maybe build some sort of trailer out of the frame.

 good ideas! sounds like fun too. I was wondering what you were going to do for a door, I am still not sure what to do for the door on my aluminum shack. I like the idea of an RV door.

good luck

Well I got all the trim to do the exterior corners as well as a pice of rubber roof for the roof. The camper is now completely gutted on the inside and I can start to remove the windows and siding and get the back of the shack closed up with the siding. The door is getting put back together and the framing for around that is getting built as well. I now just need to buy som evergreen colored paint for the siding and the door. It is finally raining were I live so work on the shack is done for today.  :(

If you are going to junk the camper after you remove everything you want out of it take the scrap metal to a yard.  I took all the aluminum and stuff like the old holding tank and some other random metal from it and got $100 for it and only paid $200 for the camper itself.

Well I can officially say the camper is gone. It is now just a frame that is getting a little tlc and the goes on craigslist and a pile of scrap ready to be turned in for cash. I got a lot out of it that I saved and  and saved money on building the shack.

Post by: da man cave shack on Jul 28, 2013, 11:01 PM
After I got back from Cabelas today I got a little done on the shack. I silicones the top of all the marker lights, cauked the edges of the door and finished siding the back of the shack. Tomato I plane to make a trip to the scrap yard and the buy some evergreen paint for the back and the door.

Post by: da man cave shack on Jul 31, 2013, 08:43 PM

I just ave to mowe the grass in that area. Lol. But then it would be easyer to se that there is some clearance to the ground because of the frame underneath. And yes I will be putting it on 2" blocks when on he ice to keep it from getting frozen down.

Post by: da man cave shack on Aug 10, 2013, 11:22 PM
Wel I finally went and bought my last two windows and got them installed and also got 10 more tubes of caulk and silicone to get aplyed. Then all I got is a little trim to do on the outdid and install a radio antenna and then other than some exterior porch lights I can call the outside DONE finally. Then on to the inside were I have lots to do without having to spend more money. I already bought 10 sheets of  the pi e paneling and have everything to get the stove installed. I have the roof vent all ready to go in and think I have figured out how I am going to finish the floor. The back 8' will be carpeted and the front 6' and v will be linoleum. Once the carpet is down I can instal the catch covers and the tie downs for the Atv. So I should have lots of pics to come in the next two weeks or so.

Well all widows have them and they are holes to let water get out of the bottom of the jam. But I used th window in the opposite direction so I had to make some of my own.

The door dosnt drop down it swings open. The reason I did it that way is because the whole shack drops down.

post some pics of your panels and their instillation when you get them as well! im sure you will, you have been awesome with documenting this whole adventure of a build! i too am putting solar on my shack, right now all i have is a 1.5 watt trickle charge panel that just suction cups to the inside of my window, and clips to the pos and neg of that battery or can charge the batter by plugging it into a 12v power plug.. it does not do much for charging but it was only like 15 bucks at harbor freight and i think it does help keep the full battery charged longer

 Hey Man Cave,

   I am looking at your antenna photo, what is that aluminum trim called that is securing the rubber roof to the side of the shack? Where can I get some of that? I am about to get started on the exterior of my shack, and I need that type of trim.

 Great job on your build, It looks great!

Jimmy, it is called batton bar and is sold at menards in 10' pieces and is around $7 each make sure you use the screws with the gasket on the bottom of the head to prevent water from weeping in around the screws and I am not sure if I spelled "batton" right but the guys at the store will know what you are are talking about.  ;D

I am going to use the woodstove that I built for it as well as a wall mounted propane heater.

According to ups teaming my solar pannels should be here some time tomorrow and then I can get them installed, which I am really looking forward to. I went and picked up some more paneling todayas well as the rest ofthe 1x6 to finish making the trim. I was looking at my options forcarpwt for the floor of the shack and I think I am going to go with some grey marine grade carpet.

Well I did get my solar panel today and have not taken pics yet but I am still thinking about how to mount it to the shack.
Title: Re: MY NEW PERMY BUILD!
Post by: osiris on Aug 30, 2013, 09:31 AM
the last solar pannel I put on had holes and mounting spacers with it and just screwed to the side of the shack if it dont have the holes u could pull the plastic cover off it and add holes as needed, auto parts stores sell the rubber grommet for running wiring from the outside it to keep it water tight or menards has larger grommets that are water tight also, your shack is looking great

I can understand all the caulk on that polebarn steel. I worked doing residential work for a polebarn building company.
What a pain trying to keep water from getting in the buildings. The worst part was when they put a chimney or vent out through the roof. Flash it and then try to keep the flashing from leaking from the high side. Or having the snow slide off the roof and flatten what is sticking out of the roof.

I always got stuck trying to fix the other guys mistakes

Oh yeah there are plans. I think I am going to go with cots that can be folded up and put away during the day. Me myself might just use a nice sleeping bag and one of those thick sleeping pads underneath, as the floor shouldn't get cold with how well insulated it is.
Title: Re: MY NEW PERMY BUILD!
Post by: Clear_Ice on Sep 11, 2013, 08:41 PM
it would save a ton of space! The only upside to having at least a built in couch or bunk is the storage that you could put above/below it. But that's just my personal opinion
Title: Re: MY NEW PERMY BUILD!
Post by: da man cave shack on Sep 11, 2013, 08:57 PM
I get exactly what you are saying I thought the same thing when I built my first shack. But then I found out I did not like it at all how everything was permanent and could not be moved so in this shack I want to keep everything as mobile as possible and as much open floor space as I can. The only thing that will be permanent mounted is the woodstove the hole covers and the cabinets in the front. But I do get where you are coming from. With the storage space so I have designed a lot of overhead storage space in the form of cabinets and a big shelf on the opposite side from the woodstove over the big window.

My Dad built a 8 X 12 Shack to use as sleeping quarters and base camp while we were building our family cottage.  He made beds 75"X 30" that were attached to the wall with hinges and could be folded up out of the way during the day.  The shack also doubled as kitchen / dining room on rainy days.  A piece of 3/4 plywood folds up out of the way and takes up less space than a fold up cot.  Just saying.

i like that you have already installed the fire safety and have got that covered before you got to the finishing touches done, that shows that you know that everything is fun as long as everyone is safe and gets home. i know i myself, and others are taking notes during your epic build, and that little note reminds me to make sure my friends and family are safe in my creation. as of last year all i had was 02 detectors.. i had never even thought of putting fire extinguishers in my drop axle, how the heck did i not think of that!? ??? ???

LOL. But I am thinking about using on of those big heater grates out of the old houses. And mounting that to some boards to raise it up and put it in front of the door outsideand the people could at least stomp most of the snow or dirt off before coming in.

Well I got the counter screwed down and the rest of the pieces made as well as got the trim around it put in and filled in some of my imperfections. Now just some final sanding to go and it's ready for the epoxy top. I will do that done time Monday as I don't work not the shack a lot during the week from lack of time and the epoxy takes 72 hrs to cure. I will be working on installing the shelf tomarrow ( I got the pieces all biscut jointed and clears and clamped up tonight.) and then on to building the cabinets for over the counter and doing some more trim work. Will post pics sometime this weekend.

Not a lot all together, but there just tedious tasks like the trim work and final fit of stove and sink. I also have to plumb the sink in to drain out the floor. LOL. and then finish the cabinets and some final wiring of like the TV jack and the whole lights. and buy and install the antenna I am glad you all were happy with the build so far. I know how much I like looking at pics of other builds and wanted to give you all as many visuals as possible. I will have more to come as I finish it up and will post pics of it in use when the ice comes. Thanks for all the advice and support as well.

Hey there,

I am new here and just saw your project, it looks great. I have been looking to build something very similiar.

I had a couple of questions about the materials you used.

What thickness of steel did you use for the frame?
What angle is the tongue?
Your pivot on the frame, why is the shast so long and what size is it?

Thank you in advance.

Today we got most of the final trim work done. The cabinets are all installed. The sink is plumbed in. And adds some trim to the cealing, originally for supporting the paneling and then because it looked cool. I also started to empty the shanty boxes from storage int the places the stuff goes in the shack. Wil put some pics up tomorrow.oh and I cleaned a lot of the constuction junk out and gave it a vacuuming. Lol

Well we finished up the last under counter cabinet fronts. and I had to put new fiberglass sealer stuff on the door of the wood stove ( the original stuff fell off. Other than that all I have done lately is fill the cabinets and organize them in a neat fashion. I didn't realize all the stuff that I had out of the old shack. It was a lot and some of it I didn't even know what to do with it. I am going to revamp my atv loading Idea. Instead of loading it by cranking the whole shack down I am going to build a set of ramps as the cranking with the ATV was just to much effort and ramps wont be hard at all to make. I will get some pics up of the rams when they are done.

Did you ever think about using epoxy on the floor? I have been in the coatings industry for years. The epoxy would seriously strengthen the floor and be a lot easier to clear and last longer.
Just a thought.

 Hey man cave,

  I am building a shanty similar to yours in size.... Can you give me an idea what I need to budget for electrical work? Looking to have a few 120v. outlets and run 12v. lights, water pump, etc. How did you run yours? Are you running a TV and or a coffee maker? are you using a generator at all?

sorry for all the questions bud.... I do not want to make a mistake at this point in the build.....

Thanks, Jimmy

If you should every get some time I would love to see a bit of a more detailed drawing of your wheel system or if you found some drawings somewhere on the web.  I am building a shack on runners but eventually i want to build on with the same idea you have but have been struggling on how to make a wheel system that came up.

Curious as to your overall weight for the shack? I want to build one (smaller) That I can pull onto the ice with a wheeler but still have a drop frame and be easy(ier) to move then just a perm on skies.
