Boris at waterbox: The waterbox is a heavily insulated box which sets 4 feet into the ice. Placed shortly after freeze-up in early November, it substantially slows the freezing process allowing the houseboat community easier access to water until break-up in late May. Pictured on a typical minus 46 C day, an ice chisel (or a needle bar) is used to break the ice, and a shovel used to clear out the large pieces before buckets can be filled.
