Mine is nowhere near this fancy. I built it 8x12, put it on 3x12 skis, sheeted it with 3/8 osb and shingled the roof so far and Im only into it for about $300 so far, but I got my shingles for free and I work for a sawmill so I get a discount on my lumber. One thing I learned from my last shack is to built drop ins for the holes in the floor to keep the wind out. My floor sits 16" off the ice and there is a lot of wind that blows through there. My wife is building my drop ins this week, Il post a picture when shes done.
For wind anchors / theft prevention I drill a hole 4' from each corner and drop a 4x4 with a big eye bolt in it in the hole. Run a 3/8 chain through the eye bolt and then through another one on the ski. Lock each with a lock. This keeps the wind from blowing it across the ice and people from stealing it.
