Building an igloo :D
Just been outside for a little play and decided to start building an igloo, i'm only two blocks up and have the door/tunnel in place. Hoping that it might frost over to make it a little more sturdy and will then continue in the morning.
Anyone else ever built one? I'll post pics up of the finished article if it's still standing in the morning :D |
I think you may be a couple of blocks short of an igloo.... ;)
|
:lol1: Awesome! I wanna see those pics in the morning!
|
did you use gloo in your igloo ???
|
You do know the door is cut from the inside don't you!
You seal yourself in then cut your way out. When you pile up the snow then excavate the inside, is called a Quinsey. |
You have to build them from the top down chap !!!
|
Swiff, I used goo! Do you think it will annoy people as I've built it in the road ;)

Swiff ?? I think you have been sniffing the gloo :lol1:
As for planning permission, umm, well.... |
really need photos of this :lol1:
|
Does an Igloo have an outside toilet?
|
We used to have to build one on our winter survival courses in Canada. Hard work but they were surprisingly warm when finished.

2 days gone. where's the igloo Svirgin?? did the polar bears eat u??
PS: its an offence not to pay council tax :P |
Unfotuantely for me the second level fell over night and froze to the bottom. Apparently we are in for heavy snow later this eve/tomorrow so I will attempt another :D
|
|
If it snows again & you manage to build it you should go all Bear Grylls. Spend the night in it & do a video diary. You also have to catch your own tea
|
Well, it did snow! I've been out and made another start, nearly completed the base but popped in for a cuppa. Going back out in a while, I've no idea how far i'll get with it this time but i'm really hoping I complete it :)

Progress so:
Second tier is now on, i've done some filling in the gaps to make it stronger. It's not exactly round but it'll do! http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...0/PICT0932.jpg http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...0/PICT0931.jpg |

Seems like your not the only one that decided to build one.
Had these sent to me http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5.../igloooooo.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5.../iglooooo2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5.../iglooooo1.jpg |
Did they get bored?
|
Well, after a few more hours on it I've completed it, it's a little out of shape but it was a laugh making it. I have got a shot from the inside, looking out but that's on my phone and it's a pain in the arse transferring them.
