Carp Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 So...how do you dig something like that back out of the ice to get if off before melt down? We use a metal bar to lift the hut and place 2x4's under the edges to keep it from freezing to the ice. The gap is filled up with snow on the ice surface. If the sun warms the ice surface enough to allow the 2x4's to sink a bit, we just put more wood under it. Sometimes it's necessary to chip a bit of ice along the edges before raising the hut. At the end of the season, there's usually enough ice to get the hut off safely. The operator who stores our hut during the off season, also puts it out and brings it in for us. He uses a large metal framed sleigh attached to his ATV. He keeps an eye on the ice conditions and will bring the huts in a bit before season's end if necessary, but it's never been a problem yet. Last year, there was good ice too late in the season, so the huts never saw the lake. A few years it's been late January or early February befoe the hut got out on the lake. Last year is the first time I can remember we didn't get the hut out on the lake for the entire season. Hope it gets frigid in a hurry. I'm praying for -30 Celcius....... but just for a few days.
