I'm sure people are sick of seeing this, I posted it about 600 times around this site and this post is no exception.  Considering renovating it to 8'x8'.  Maybe there could be an HGTV show --shanty hunters or DIY network--the shanty remodeling show

The employment of effort, hard work, time, and energy put in locating fish will offend noone.

we usually have close a foot or two of ice by late december 8) then anywhere from 2-4ft. of ice the rest of the season here

the shack has enough room to fit 5 people with two holes each but we had 9 people in there this winter using one hole each and tip ups outside and it still had a fair bit of room, could of fit a few more people befor it got crowded bad. and this isnt a big shack, some of the ones on the lakes i fish are twice the size.  ;D

Yep. One of the best investments I've made. Comes in handy and serves as a third chair.

Here's a couple of pics of mine. 4*8. Woodstove made out of propane tank. Shack is solid, but not too heavy. Easily moved with my sled.

Rockhound: One of your pics mentions putting snowboards on the bottom of the house for deeper snow.  Another option is using waterskis.  I've used them and they work pretty well.  They are wide enough that they mostly float on powder.

I'm not set up to post pictures on here yet (probably too old and computer illiterate). If you want to get an idea of what I use go to www.hayfieldind.com and look at the 6 1/2x 12" model.
It seems to go from zero to hero all some have to do is lie.
