I don't even know what to say MM. I'm impressed and the adolescence in me is JEALOUS.

 

[Kickemup]

Why couldn't u get it off? I'm guessing LOW and a pressure ridge in the way.

10 gallons of gas in a fishhouse is one hell of a lot of gas to ignite.

Yeah, too bad they didn't make GoPro's back then....it would have been a sight.

The beds were fold down from the wall, and they had 2x4 edges all around them, so it held all the gas real nice. I remember we had a few trucks around us watching what we were going to do.......I wonder what they thought at the sight of the first fireball?

This was on Haybale Bay, by the way, when you used to be able to access it from Highway 2. We were so far out in the middle of nowhere there was no way it was coming off any other way. Pictures don't do it justice, but the snow was real deep. The pictures of the house are from the truck, and that was the closest we were able to drive to it.

You couldn't just get it to shore, and wait for snow to melt? Once my brother did that to a shack, left it on too long and the shorelines opened up, It was all wood, except for a the screws that held it together.

I'm guessing it was one of those: "this house isn't that great and we need an excuse to build another better one scenarios"? Which I totally understand and pretty much condone. That said, a utility tractor with a snow blower and a front loader would have made short work of getting it out, unless it was really froze down. Been there before.

So you dumped 10 gallons of gasoline in there? Haha i think a cup of diesel would have sufficed.

When nine gallons just won't do. Awesome!!!

Like I said...young and dumb. It could have even been 14-15 years ago. Today with the resources and know-how we have, that house would have made it off. Like Captain said, it was an awesome excuse to get a different house with wheels.

The pictures still don't do it justice. It was out in the middle of nowhere and the snow was deep. Here's a pic from LOW a couple years ago, Nick had to plow us out a 1/2 mile long driveway.

Heres our wheelhouse. Refurb'd an old home made job. 5 year old named the holes (big fish hole, little fish hole, potty hole, 'computer' hole (flasher), and 'matic' holes (auto jiggers). Cant wait to get the kids out there!

 

[Kurtr]

at 1st glance I was expecting ninja turtles to jump out of the holes.

they fold up for easy portability?

 

[ejolliffe]

Ha! Limited storage space is that obvious!
