.... maybe off-topic, maybe not?
Craigslist has a February 21 ad for The Lodge bob house, that huge luxurious bob house that seems to show up in the state newspapers and wmur-tv every year, with 16 photos and a price of twenty thousand dollars. The Lodge is out on the Meredith Bay ice at this time, a short distance from the boat ramp and town docks.
Just think ...... for $20,000 ...... you can call The Lodge your's ..... and tow it home! At $20,000 ...... seems like a high price?
Plus, there's a different listing for a 4'x8' bob house going for $725 ...... also on the Meredith ice.
In the off ice season which is like 10-months or so of the year, what's a good off-season use for The Lodge bob house ..... I know, a mother-in-law's apartment!
Or, for $117.49 you can get a very nice, bright red Eskimo Quik-Fish, two person, portable pop-up ice fishing tent ...... on Ebay.
Somewhere, I can recall seeing a photo of a porta-potty, you know a small rental toilet made from vinyl or fiberglass that was used as an ice fishing bob-house ..... not a bad re-use for a porta-potty ..... plus it automatically includes a seat for comfy fishing thru the ice.
