are you going to sleep in it??
No...some yokels near my house may decide to jump on it!
It looks ace 🙂
Mind you, I'm not an Eskimo. So what do I know .....
Getting the final blocks in was tricky as the snow had started to crystallize and wasn't bonding that well, that said I'm quite pleased with it.
There will be cat crap in it by the morning - guaranteed!
Watch out for polar bears...
Class! Well done that man!
Rubbish! You don't even have the kink in the entrance to keep the wind down.
but apart from that...Coool!
So from start to finish...

And finished
Final verdict?
Not bad. I like the porch. A little small though? What did you use as a mold? I'm 3/4 though an igloo build in the back garden. 70 blocks and four courses so far. Went for a 10ft diameter - and then the kids disappeared back to the warm 🙄
It is quite small big still used approx 5m2 of snow at 150mm deep to build! I used a River Nene vegetable box for the main building and a plant trough for the doorway blocks. Probably about 30-40 blocks in total.
WTF is that lounging beside the stove- an indoor horse?? 😯
That my friend is 'Chimera' a blue Great Dane. My sisters as is the stove. Went out for a ride during the snow on Saturday and needed to warm up.
Is Chimera peering out the window in the shot above? Those are some spoooooky eyes.
Yep, just don't ever take her teddy or it'll be torn jugulars!
Nice effort. Better than my attempt a few weeks back. I cheated too with a wood roof. Didn't get the porch made either. 🙁 🙄
