[QUOTE="raider, post: 250586, member: 353"] we had this happen about 20 years ago on sak... we left it and went back after it had warmed up... the ice around 3 sides of it had almost melted away as our spud bars when right through when we tried to chip it out... sun reflected heat down to the ice... i went in and took out the stove and windows - everything we thought we could salvage, and called game and fish... we told them we couldn't get it out - they said "oh, we will, and you're gonna get a bill for removal" - it was after march 15th... went out there the next weekend and didn't see the house... found the 1/2 burned up steel roof pulled up by the boat ramp... never got a bill as they prolly figured the fiasco had cost us enough... i've owned an ice castle and zack shack since, but sold them both... i fish out of a thermal portable now, but it comes home with me every night, and i sleep really well... don't get too brave out there... realize also that in a skidsteer you have at least the same weight as a pickup in 1/2 the footprint which is BAD on ice... hopefully he has good insurance, cuz he's gonna need it 1 way or another... stay safe and good luck...
