Making provisions for openings in shack floor for jig holes. With shack on blocks my floor will be anywhere from 12"-20" from the ice. While jigging, what is the best way to keep wind from blowing up the opening. Have read about 5 gal pails with bottom cut out as sleeves, but they may be too short. What else works? I suppose I can make an extension on one with a second one.
Also, how hard is it to drill the holes from in the shack each time. How oversized does the hole have to be? I am assuming 11"-12" is OK since that is the size of a goop bucket. I have an 8" hand auger, but usually borrow a 10" Jiffy later in the year.
My shack is only 4X8 so I will have to anchor it or else I could simply push it aside, drill the holes, then push it back, but on blocks I can't really do that.
Never had a shanty before, so will prob. learn a lot of things the hard way, but at least this site has given me some heads up on a lot of things.
Thanks for the help.
