Nice Job... on the hut/shack...
Nothing like getting out on the ice in a warm place where you can relax.
I'm with you on the tip ups, once I'm in the hut I stay put. My buddy Pecker sets up some tip ups but he is young and agile so he doesn't mind running after them.
Have a great season and enjoy your new hut..
By the way how thick was the ice where you were???
