Great looking shack. We had one very similar. Came apart in 4x8 panels for transport. Thanks for sharing.

You and your family must love that thing. Home away from home.

Looks great! Kids seem to love it so that makes it all worthwhile.

I thought of doing the modular thing but i live at the lake so i just pull it home in april and if i want to take it to another lake i winch it up on my 30 foot goose neck trailer.

Joe those pipes are stick holders for my homemade rods. I have since notched them to hold a rod and reel combo.

The kids spend an average of 20 hours per week in the shack and they love it cause its warm for them thats what they tell me anyways lol.

Sweet shack....I thought the PVC was for taking a leak if it was really cold

We have abought 30 inchs now i have been driveing on since mid december and it been a really warm year. Thanks to everyone for the nice comments im going to be putting tin sideing on it in the next couple of weeks. Was out in it today and the temp was -35 and we were sweating in it so im not going to insulate it.

Very nice.

Do you have a hard time moving that big shack around on the ice if there is slush or snow? Do you block it up? I ask because I'm building a big shack. Are you planning on insulating it?

Thanks for the post.

jimmyclaude · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 20, 2012, 09:21 AM »

What is the box with wires to it?

I was going to insulate it but it gets unbearable hot is -40.This is my second shack like this and i never insulted either but had big wood stoves in both of them. thanks for the comments.

laclabiche walleye hunter · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 20, 2012, 08:18 PM »

Well got TV and sat dialed in today. Tomorrow were going to hopefully start the siding weather permitting if not we might just fish all day lol.

Lmao that would be funny. It was snowing all day today so never got to start on the siding and the perch bite was slow got a couple Wally's though.

jimmyclaude · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 25, 2012, 03:04 PM »

Bonus! That is probably why the perch bite was slow.

Layne · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 25, 2012, 04:49 PM »

I so regret not going 8x16 or bigger, my 8x12 feels small now and I already know im going to want to do it again. Vicious cycle.

Looks great, mind if I ask what you did for your skids/floor? Tough to tell from the pics.

Lol i had a 8x12 and was to small i no the feeling. For the floor i used hurricane hangers screwed to the 6x6 with 2x4`s 24 inch apart i then lag bolted an additional 4x6 to the 6x6 so when my bottom skid wears out i can replace it easily. For the floor i used 2 layers of 7 16 plywood it is built tough and pulls like a dream.

Layne · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 25, 2012, 07:24 PM »

Awesome, sounds like a great setup. I almost regret insulating my shack as well, the damn things are always too dang hot.

Class act move offering to explain it to me over the phone, you went above and beyond to try and help me. Thanks!

If you ever need some plastic for your skids we have a plastic fabrication shop in Regina and sell all kinds of heavy duty wear materials, theres always an iceshanty member discount!
