Without the wheels, it would make a lovely little beach cabin for vacations. I could not fit my library into that, much less my DH's books! As a permanent home, no. But I am a big fan of downsizing, and having smaller houses.
Its a little smaller than my GF's motorhome. We can survive quite nicely in it as long as we find a RV park with hookups and WiFi. :madgrin:
Spoken like a true Minnesotan! Besides the trap door, you need tall bottomless buckets to line the holes. Otherwise the holes freeze up real quick. The one my brother and I built doesn't have wheels and rested on the ice. We'd winch it on a trailor and drop it on the lake for the season. Much easier to drill the holes and keep them open as well as actually retrieve the fish. But, much more work to get it off the lake March 1st.
:thumb::thumb::fish2: I remember we always had to clean out around the inside of the "pipe" too... but we could seal around the pipe and the heat wouldn't go under the fishing shed.
