    Ice shack/hunting blind

    Yeah we still have a good month before the lake is ready for the shack probably get it out there first week of december I would think. The hardest part is done with the frame only because we wanted to make sure our welds were done well before we started framing.

    see that is the best part it is free for me to take. So not to worried if I have to put a little bit into the motor. I planned on cleaning the carb and doing a compression test to start with.

    We got the whole sled. We are picking it up on the weekend. I went lastnight to take a look at it, couldnt get it to start but its been sitting for a long time the guy said. It does pull easy and cycles but does not fire up. So will have my work cut out there I think.
