That's a great igloo. Did you make the bricks using the plastic boxes?

You are obviously an inuitive builder.

Polar Bear · « **Reply #5 on:** 02 February, 2009, 04:01:55 pm »

Awesome!

Excellent Mike!

Having done something similar a few years ago, I'm curious as to how long it took you.

Nice one, regardless of that!

Given the right conditions - the remains of your 'gloo will still be there, weeks after the snow has become little more than a distant memory.

I'm in awe. Not just at your l33t igloo building skillz, but at just how fab a dad you clearly are.

Brilliant. Very jealous here

Top igloo.

Wendy · « **Reply #10 on:** 02 February, 2009, 06:35:28 pm »

I think it took nearly 6 hours, I'm a shattered wreck. Just woke up after a 3 hour sleep...

Wendy · « **Reply #11 on:** 02 February, 2009, 06:43:09 pm »

Oh, and there were 3 other people who put a lot of work in, something like 2-4 hours each.

I think it's embarrassing that someone from bloody Zimbabwe, man can make an igloo better than we can! They don't even have snow there, do they?

Jurek · « **Reply #13 on:** 02 February, 2009, 06:44:45 pm »

Ha ha ha ha ha

That sounds about right!

It took two of us about 2.5 / 3 hours to do the same - but we had the definite advantage of an empty car park covered with 10cm of virgin snow - which lent itself extremely well to being 'ploughed up' into building blocks.

If I'm able to source some pics, I'll post them.

Well done that man (Edit - and others) - that's quite an effort

Jaded · « **Reply #14 on:** 02 February, 2009, 06:46:30 pm »

That is bloody brilliant!

Did you have to steal snow from half the neighbourhood?

Wendy · « **Reply #15 on:** 02 February, 2009, 06:48:22 pm »

Nah, there's so much snow here we didn't even use 1/10th of the available snow in the carpark.

nuttycyclist · « **Reply #16 on:** 02 February, 2009, 07:24:52 pm »

I wish I had enough snow to try that.

GruB · « **Reply #17 on:** 02 February, 2009, 07:26:05 pm »

Awesome. What a great idea. I'll store that one away if you don't mind.

woollypigs · « **Reply #18 on:** 02 February, 2009, 07:37:53 pm »

You just gotta sleep in it tonight, it is warmer than you think.

Mad skillz dawg

Wendy · « **Reply #21 on:** 03 February, 2009, 10:54:31 am »

Well it's still up this morning, although the tunnel is sagging slightly. Chuffed! miniMikey and I went to have a sit in it already.

nuttycyclist · « **Reply #22 on:** 03 February, 2009, 11:48:37 am »

I've been on this forum too long. I misread what you and miniMikey did in it this morning

Is that where they have very small palm trees?

So Mikey did you sleep in it ?
