Successful Shack Rescue
Ive got a very heavy 8x8 bob house - weighs over 2000# and after trying for 4 hours yesterday, shoveling a 30 foot area of 6 in of slush, and burning up my snowmobile belt, I was ready to give up. But this morning I lifted up the shack and slid 2 of those blue/red plastic kids sleds under the skis, nailed them on. I then tied a rope to the front of the plastic sleds and tied it off on the shack so the front tips of the sleds would be lifted up a bit to keep them from digging in. Finally, I split a 5 foot section of stove pipe (length wise) and wrapped it under the front edge of the shack to make a skid plate so it wouldnt dig into the slush. I fired up the Yamaha and much to my amazement it worked ! I pulled it a good 1/2 mile through some sketchy stuff near Trexler's - I'll try and post a picture -
