He started by cutting off a few inches to make it shorter. That protects it from tipping over in the winter wind. He placed it on old skis, so it's easy to move. Then he insulated it to keep the heat in. Inside, there's a heater, lights, music, TV, and much more. It's like being at home, but you're ice fishing. He calls it The Crappie Shack. He's got big plans for next year. He got himself a handicap porta potty that he's converting into his new ice fishing shack.
