Well its been a little chilly out here. This picture was taken near Huntsville just an hour south of us. Last night I went ice fishing with my budds and it was flippin berrrrrr! We had the hut toasty warm and even caught the hut on fire! hahha, we'll do some repairs this weekend.

I love my hut, but its a little small for community events. I have been keeping it for the minnow storage and I open it for the dogs when we are out. I also keep the portable toilet in there for when my wife comes out AND to fulfil drinking regulations. You are allowed to have beer, if you have a toilet. 

My friend Bang Bang built a bigger hut and we use that. It fits three of us, but no room for dogs. He bannished them outside and when I go out to take a leak, I open up my hut for the dogs to seek some refuge. Funny thing is, they dont use it. They just sit at the front door. The cold doesnt bug them...being cut off from the comradery does.

So last night we made an agreement. We will begin work on a community hut. Our initial plans are for an 8'x12'. We will build it entirely out of scavenged wood. My friend Richard has been collecting scavenged wood for a while and figures he has enough for us to begin. We will build it at his place and register it under his name. It will become our community place. We will have three huts, all with the same locks, so that we all have access to everything. There are a few more members of community that have not been partaking in our adventures but would.....build it and they will come!
