[QUOTE="Opie11, post: 250824, member: 323"] [ATTACH=CONFIG]33973._xfImport[/ATTACH] Cut out and lifted up, but about 15" of ice still hanging from the bottom of the house. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33974._xfImport[/ATTACH] Same day. Overhead gantry system would have worked better if it was 3-4' wider and about a foot higher. The width hindered the ability to cut easily in between the frame and the house. It also made it a little tricky where the hole was a little bigger because we had chiseled out around the front door to get it open. Had to rig some things to get it to span that spot while we were winching it ahead. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33972._xfImport[/ATTACH] West side. Ice in the wheel well is how deep it had flooded and frozen in. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33971._xfImport[/ATTACH] Inside the house. Didn't measure it, but it was 10" minimum. Maybe a little more. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33975._xfImport[/ATTACH] Ice around the back was a couple inches below the RV plug. You can kind of see the line just below it. Measure to the line from the bottom of the frame, and it was about 18". [ATTACH=CONFIG]33976._xfImport[/ATTACH] At the front it was between the two vents for the furnace for depth. About 16" ahead of the axles. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33977._xfImport[/ATTACH] Pulled ahead about 10' off of the hole we cut and hit the ice hanging from the bottom from about the axles back. At that point he put heat in the inside again and drilled out the fishing holes through the ice hanging underneath to help break it up. Took a couple days. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33978._xfImport[/ATTACH] Behind the house after we had it moved ahead 10' or so. [ATTACH=CONFIG]33979._xfImport[/ATTACH] Finally off of the enormous hole in the ice today! [/QUOTE]
