big house ready

[i2yys4u03]

The big house is finished, let me know what you guys think.  I bought the frame, door, windows, and siding from Ice Castle and built it myself.

Luxurious!!!  Nicely done.
If you dont mind me asking, roughly how much did it cost you in supplies and parts?  And how long were you working on it?

Ive always been wanting to tackle a big fish house like that, but I fear I dont have the time to get it done - it would take me 4 years or id never finish it.

[i2yys4u03]

I have around 16 grand into it.  It took me about a year to complete with only a couple hours a day to work on it.   I added the electric winches recently but kept the hand crank winch on the front.  There is lots of room for buddies to fish and all their gear.

  Very nicely done.  Any estimates of the weight?

[i2yys4u03]

Its around 5500 pounds.. You might think its really heavy, but what does a full size truck weigh?

  I'm guessing around 16 grand and 1-2 hrs a day for a year.
