Been wanting to build a shack for years. I finally got myself motivated!

Looks good so far.. The only thing I end up with when working with wood is saw dust and sore finger/thumb!! John

Looks really nice. Keep the pictures coming until there are fish lying around outside the door.

wish we was allowed permanenet shanty in PA

Not including the bump out, it's 6.5 X 8. I saw a couple of shacks with the bump out for the wood stove last winter. It frees up a lot of room.

Nice looking shack, please share pictures when complete and on the ice.

It sure does. $:-\$ It might be time for a remodel next year. Maybe that, a bay window, an axle and a hitch.

Forget the Bay window. Get a Patio door.

they make it easy to run for tipups.

That's not a shack, that's a palace! Any interior pics?

garland · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 25, 2010, 03:02 PM »

I like your skies, how did you make them and can you get a few more pics of them. Very nice!

bee · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 25, 2010, 03:09 PM »

Very Nice. Way to heavy for me.

Stutz · « **Reply #19 on:** Nov 25, 2010, 03:11 PM »

Wow that thing is awsome great work.

P Meyette · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 25, 2010, 03:36 PM »

nice job ireally like it

Skunkboy · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 25, 2010, 06:15 PM »

The ski bottoms are made of plastic from a 5700 gallon water tank. The inside is just a shell right now. I'll post more pics when she's done. And yes, it's heavy. Most of the weight is in the skis & floor, but I've got a plan to make it easy to move.

I was giving the kids rides up & down the driveway today.

Nice to have the commode closet offset like that. Sweet!

icebucketjohn · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 29, 2010, 08:02 AM »

Kudos... Well Done.

gaudetskie · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 29, 2010, 08:06 AM »

Good idea for moving it around the yard. I might have to try that with mine.
Nick.

rickl1968 · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 29, 2010, 10:23 AM »

Very nice and impressive indeed. I like the skis big, wide and the teflon/plastic is really thick. No chance of wearing out anytime soon.

interior pics please!

jasond37 · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 04, 2010, 08:58 AM »

Those wheels are an awesome idea, sure beats lifting the house and rolling it on PVC pipe!! Where did you get the metal roof? I want to a local lumber yard and they said they don't sell roofs that small. I'm building another shack (quickly running out of time) and I really want a roof like yours. I can't seem to find one...

BlueDuck · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 04, 2010, 09:02 AM »

Very impressive. How much ice would it take to use something like that safely?
