How We Make an Igloo

I'm feeling the effects of a cold, with aches and sniffles and occasional sneezing, but that didn't stop us from heading outside this afternoon to try our hand at making some spare shelter.


Ingredients: Snow, shovel, plastic storage bin. Check.

Fill bin with snow, slide out block. Repeat.

Stack up the blocks in the traditional igloo shape.

Check for fit.

Shape blocks as needed to fit the curvature and let them hold each other up. It works!

Enjoy your new igloo!

That is one very cool igloo (ha, ha)! I'm kind of punny, huh?

Wow, that's awesome! Lucky kid. I'll have to show this to E... but then I might be on the hook for helping him build one. Although we don't even have enough snow for something like that.
