For the ceiling I cut used 2x4's in three, ending up with 3/8 boards. I gave them a quick sanding and nailed them up, a lot of work but I think it was worth it.

Mixed some random paint together and this is what the color turned out to be.

I recently weighed the ice shack and it weighed out at 2900lbs,. The stub axles that I installed are rated combined at 4000lbs. I'm at the stage of plumbing the propane to the stove and furnace and finishing the lower cabinets.

Nice shack, looks good so far, would like to see close up shot of how you built those drop axles.

Sounds like you might be interested in Wheel House axel designs. This is what I did on my 6.5 x 12. I used a hub assembly as it allowed adjustment for camber and toe-in. Hubs are mounted with 4 bolts so I can add shims. Also gave me increased clearance with the hub extended downward. The tires you see in the pic's are setting on 2x4's to the frame that allowed me to move the frame during build to cut the grass.

I did a 2 pulley system on the wench to ease the up/down movement with the wench

I installed a volt meter to monitor the battery level and the switch to the right operates the ceiling fans, there is also a fan in the roof vent which will exhaust out as well.

Just about done the lower cabinets, but will have some changes yet. I have so many ideas but they change as I go.

I'm planning on using two deep cycle batteries and it will be charged by the solar panel and also I have seven pin bargeman cord that can be plugged into the truck if necessary. All the lights are LED, I'm going to be running an inverter to power the TV and DVD player, not sure if that is going to work yet.
