Getting there

Now if the weather would just cooperate I could finish this thing up..... Made some progress this weekend, installed insulation in the roof and back wall and got them covered up with steel. It seems that every time I think about taking pictures it gets to dark to see what i'm doing.
I still have a ways to go but im getting there... hopefully the lake still has ice on it when I am done....

More Progress

We were working too hard to take any pictures last weekend, but a lot of progress has been made. The framing is complete and the interior sheeting is all in place. We have moved the shanty out of the shop and is now in a staging area by the garage. I made a quick trip to the in-laws to pick up some old roof steel they had on a hog barn to use for siding. Now i am just waiting for a little nice weather to match up with an available weekend to put the final touches on it and haul it to the lake!

It looks like we have some walls! and better yet, a heater! The door looks pretty good too... now i just need to finish up the framing..

Oh Crap! how am i going to get it out of the shop?

Im Back!

Wow I really suck, I haven't been here since May! Oh well, just not a lot going on in the shop over the summer. But now its ICE Fishing season, which is just another reason to drink schnapps!

 So I decided I wanted to fish in comfort this season, even though our lake has few fish in it this year. I couldn't afford the fancy wheel systems and because I live within 100 yards of the lake anyway, I just built a pair of skis out of 2x10 material. Then using 2x4 framework I built a 6x8 platform to start out.
Particle board left over from another project completes the deck and four holes to fish out of. I found an old tow bar that I mounted to the sled with big bolts and brackets. And just for fun I installed an outdoor rug.
Lots to do yet; heater, door, walls perhaps a roof and quite possibly even insulation...
