TGIF boys!! Top of the mornin to ya. Seen 2* on the way into work this morning. A little nippy. Going to get even colder next week. Below zero highs they are saying next week. That will do some ice making. My big plans are to work on the fish house I am building this weekend. I have all the steel pieces cut for the frame and ready to weld. Welding it together will be tonights project. I am hoping to have the shell all done this weekend. Otherwise just another day in paradise. Have a good one boys.
Hey look your bobber is up!

That is a great story Rebs.  I wonder what the stake in the bottom of the tree is for?  Maybe just to keep it from slipping off the stand?

Best keep your gerbils to yourself Del. Too much information.

I guess you don't recall when that was sort of a viral account going around.   Youse guys are too young.    And I'm not the guy with hamsters in a ball.

Morning boys.  Sorry to hear that Mike.  Sounds like a nice guy too.  Yup it is a cold one.  We have been fishing on about 4" of nice hard ice.  Now it will be nice to get it frozen thicker so we can put houses out.  I am not going to rush it.  Sort of feeling like a cold coming on too.  The wife got me some lozenges that are supposed to make it better.  LOL  Well you all have a good one.

Cold-eze zinc lozenges.  My wife is a big fan of those to prevent/help cure a cold.     Not sure that they do much but maybe so I go along...

JB....yer using steel on yer frame? Can I ask why not aluminum, because of the tougher welding? What's the frame? Tubular or square? Are ya gonna spray foam the interior? Been involved in a lot of ice shack builds, like hearing how folks do their's is all... I'm surprised we don't have an ice-shack in progress thread......always fun to follow. :smiley:.

Del, just becuz I had a hamster in a ball for a pet, don't try to draw a parallel of that into yer whacko  Gerbil fantasies. I had gerbils when I was a kid too, and they are cute little pets.

Yep, steel on the frame since I don't have the tools to weld aluminum. I am using tube steel. It is just the skids and floor joist that are steel. The rest of the actual frame will be 2x2 pine. Then the siding and roof will be pole barn steel. I will post some pictures along the way.

Looking forward to the pics!!!   :happy1:  I've seen some real good ones over the years....one guy foamed his all in, (and that's spendy) and forgot to pull the wiring up into the outlets and use compression plugs.  (You usually install actual plug in/switches AFTER the foam-in) :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

That steel will be a lot stronger than aluminum.  Won't weigh enough more to make a difference.
