As long as you have the winter to freeze the lake to make it easy to move materials for building. The rest of it you haul by boat

heck yeah, ice road truckers!

i hadnt even thought that far, in my mind, the cabin was build already and i just had to shuttle kids food and fuel across the pond

When I was a kid my dad and uncles built a huge house boat that never left the lake. Built it on site kinda and drove a model a ford chassis into it for propulsion. It was like an island. I remember sitting down to eat at the table with alot of people. It burned down.

sounds like your dad and my grandpa were a lot alike

if i remember correctly, my grandpa build the house i would eventually be born in back in 1953, brick by brick from the ground up

somewhere around 1957 he got hos masons license

its a real shame that boat burned down
sound like it left you with some great childhood memories though
