should i put a vent near the wood stove for outside air to be drawn in?

You could, but you will probably have plenty of air with the jig holes open and running outside for flags.

I would insulate the lower bench area where your legs will be if it were me too.

Yes, a vent for sure.

Gotcha on them being a little crooked. Also I see what you were saying about the stacked 2x2's. You should have taken your long wall side and ran it so that it over lapped your front and back walls

Next time

burty12 · « **Reply #37 on:** Jan 29, 2012, 07:53 PM »

a few more pics

I'm going to add shelves under the side windows to rest a beverage on and on each back wall "the seat back wall" about a foot above the windows there will be self that extends the whole length of the wall.

and i think that will pretty much do it for this year i need to get the shack out and get some fishing done!

it just help tie the walls together for strength. I understand that your building with little to no construction experience. Just little tips to get you going in the right direction. For a Ice shack alot of standard house building construction rules can be thrown out. But later down the road you may want to make a bigger better shack.

Thanks for the advice its appreciated! and no construction experience here.

Wow that's quite the shack! Love the pine on the inside, we have the same stuff on the inside of our hunt camp. Nice work!

Lots of light

Very nice

Burty, I love the shack! When I first saw it I thought to myself "wait til he has to move it". Then I saw you are from the "Great White North" and probably have to worry more about an auger extention then weather you can drive on the ice!

Tight lines and enjoy the Shack!

Sweet set up. If your fishin partner is happy all is well..

burty12 · « **Reply #46 on:** Feb 07, 2012, 07:05 PM »

Here are a few updated pictures of inside. pulling it out on the lake tomorrow morning!

FRESHBAIT · « **Reply #47 on:** Feb 07, 2012, 07:16 PM »

wow, its come along great. Looking nice inside.

fishnwire · « **Reply #48 on:** Feb 08, 2012, 05:32 AM »

It looks awesome! I love the shape, with the little "additions" for the bunks and fireplace. Cool idea.

Are you going to insulate the ceiling? You'll lose a lot of heat through it, and the snow that lands on your roof will melt. That melt water is something you don't want working away at your chip-board (OSB I assume?) all day.

Do you plan on putting siding against that OSB? It doesn't like getting wet. You've worked hard and done an amazing job...you don't want that stuff swelling up and flaking off, which it eventually will if left unprotected.

Sorry if you've already considered this stuff. I got a little tired of hearing the same things over and over on my ice hut build thread, but I still appreciated all the advice.

Once again, great looking hut.

That looks slick.

Be nice for a couple days at a time, eh?

Baitfisher · « **Reply #52 on:** Feb 12, 2012, 09:03 PM »

Nice job! I would be spending some serious time on the ice in a shack like that.

Joedirt34 · « **Reply #53 on:** Feb 15, 2012, 12:25 PM »

That came very nice ! Awesome job on the inside !

skidooguy · « **Reply #54 on:** Feb 20, 2012, 04:45 PM »

CLbrad · « **Reply #57 on:** Mar 07, 2012, 04:56 PM »

Great build. If your daughters barefoot then it's plenty warm. Cure kid. My girls 6 and I really try and get her involved as much as possible.
