Looking good!!! Is that a furnace i see in the background? Which furnace are you going to use? Again your framing looks very good... keep the pics coming!!!

The door came from the same place I got the frame from miltona blacksmith out of Minnesota.

I got a little more done this weekend. I got the rubber roof on, the fan fold stapled down, and the house rap done. I ran out of silver tape so I have to finish one window, the top of the door, and the bottom and top of the house wrap. I'm going to order metal in a few weeks to side it with. Diamond plate on the bottom 32" of the V and white or orange .040 aluminum for the siding.

sweet...love the look

Looks good but I wonder about the slush spray on the door freezing it shut

Looking good!!!

OldSailor · « **Reply #38 on:** Oct 27, 2014, 05:45 PM »

What are you going to put on the other side of the V opposite the door? How are you going to layout the rest of the interior?? It's really looking great!!! The more pics the better ya know!!!

I got a little done this weekend. I got the wall for the bathroom up. Installed the circut for the tv and fan that will be on the wall. A picture of just the inside. I will put futon with a bunk on top of it and a dinette in the very back. I have 90 percent of the 12v wiring done.

OldSailor · « **Reply #40 on:** Oct 27, 2014, 08:37 PM »

What are you going to put behind the wall the TV is on, in the front of the V?? Hang coats and such??

eye-getter · « **Reply #41 on:** Oct 27, 2014, 08:51 PM »

It's going to be a honey bucket bathroom and a place to hang jackets ect. It's going to be a little tight, but still better then taking a dump at -20 with 30mph winds. I'm going to put a curtain that goes to the front of the "v". I was going to put a wall and door, but thought that a curtain would seem like more room.

OldSailor · « **Reply #42 on:** Oct 28, 2014, 06:19 AM »

I had thought of a potty, but was thinking the door flying open could hurry the process along!!

It's a great build and have enjoyed following your progress!! Make sure to take plenty of pics! What's the old saying?? A picture is worth a thousand words??

Looking great! Seems that you thought out every step well, and the work looks good too. Don't forget about the bathroom vent fan

just started on lowering frame for my dream ice shack.
I'm heading to your town on a road trip for building supplies.

That is awesome to say the least. What is the width of the axle? Will it travel in the same track as the truck?

eye-getter · « **Reply #46 on:** Nov 30, 2014, 07:50 PM »

Saved up and got some metal for the shanty. We got the back done, both sides, and the windows installed. It is white, because it was the biggest and cheapest. It aluminum and .040 thick. All lines match up and all screws match up. I plan to do the front next weekend and for the trailer lights and to finish up the inside. Not good pictures, but it gives you and idea.

PaWhiskerWacker · « **Reply #47 on:** Dec 01, 2014, 06:49 AM »

Looking good, What dimensions are the alum pieces looks like nice stuff. Did you glue it too?

eye-getter · « **Reply #48 on:** Dec 01, 2014, 09:52 AM »

Alum is 5x10. I just screws it with stainless pan head screws. I caulked all screws and joints.

Cranker · « **Reply #49 on:** Dec 06, 2014, 07:41 PM »

How much $ do you think you have into it? Looks great so far!

eye-getter · « **Reply #50 on:** Dec 09, 2014, 06:50 PM »

Cranked I will have about 6500 to 7000.

eye-getter · « **Reply #51 on:** Dec 09, 2014, 06:55 PM »

I got all the metal on today. Siliconed all joints and screws. Installed the door. It's starting to take shape. Tomorrow will be the trailer lights and finishing up the termanation strip for the rubber roofing. I hope to have it done by the end of the year. I hope this next summer to get some kind of sticker to break up the color went with white metal because it was the cheapest.

That shanty is looking sweet! Keep the pics coming... would definitely like to know your final weight when you finish.

Sweet build! Do they plow the lakes out there? I want to build one of these, but upstate NY doesn't have the greatest of conditions and I feel like I would get stuck all the time.

eye-getter · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 13, 2014, 07:05 PM »

It's windy enough in ND that we usually don't have a ton of snow on the ice.

eye-getter · « **Reply #55 on:** Dec 13, 2014, 07:15 PM »

Got all the trailer lights done. Installed the porch light and a light above the propane tanks. Installed all the insulation and the ceiling and lights put it. For the insulation I used foam board that is a R-8 biut super light. For the ceiling I used ribbed tin. I had some white cheap plywood material, but didn't like it so I tore it down.

CanIceCpl · « **Reply #56 on:** Dec 14, 2014, 08:05 PM »

Wow this is incredible !! I will definitely monitor your build :-)

eye-getter · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 21, 2014, 05:45 PM »

Got the roof secured down, the windows trimmed out the lights make them look pink but they are white. Also got a little half of the knotty pine done, the floor and holes cut. About three more days of work and some cold weather and it should be done.
