Today had no work so me my bf & a few friends made a snowman, We then wanted a new challenge & thought about making a house of snow.

Took 4 hours, Stands 9 foot tall, 7 foot wide, Walls are 1 foot thick & has over 100 blocks of snow, Made of only snow & has no supports.

Maybe a uk record as we dont get much snow.

Here are the pictures, Going to get some better ones in daylight.

Can you live in an Igloo? Yes. Then its classed as a house.

Nice 'car'.

I'm with the Igloo crowd Annie. :( Cool though.

As for the roof I assume staggering the snow bricks until they eventually meet or near as, would suffice.

If it drives then it would be a car.. to a degree.

That's a bird in a tent.

Home is where the heart is..lol

What the definition of a house?

ahha wiki says...

A house is generally a home, shelter, building or structure that is a dwelling or place for habitation by human beings.

So i'm right.

Who am I to argue with the book of lies. lol

WHEREVER I LAY MY HAT (THAT'S MY HOME)
By the look in your eye I can tell you're gonna cry.
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
for I'm not worth it, you see.
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
I'm telling you that's my home.
You had romance, did you break it by chance
over me?
If it's so I'd like for you to know
that I'm not worth it, you see.
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam, mm,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home,
mm, that's my home.
Oh, you keep telling me, you keep telling me I'm your man.
What do I have to do to make you understand?
For I'm the type of guy who gives girl the eye,
everybody knows.
But I love them and I leave them,
break their hearts and deceive them everywhere I go.
Don't you know that I'm the type of man who is always on the roam,
wherever I lay my hat that's my home.
wherever I lay my hat, oh oh, that's my home, mm yeh,
that's my home
and I like it that way.

No, there's no need for that site. It gets way to wrong.

Jack
07-01-10, 02:53 PM
lol @ using wikipedia for... well, anything lol

Oxford English Dictionary says

1 a building for human habitation.
...so technically, an Igloo is a house. In fact, "Igloo" translates from Inuit to the English "house". Sooo yeah, its a house I suppose, but I'd still refer to it as an Igloo lol

Clever construction they are too.

Im curious how did you build the roof ? without it caving in.

We didnt cheat, for the door we just built up an arch of snow until it was thick enough to hold 2 blocks above it.

the roof was a task, We made loads of small snow balls then built them up & inwards until they met in the middle then put loads of snow on top & compacted it. it was pretty cold last nite so now really hard. should be around for afew weeks even after the snow has gone.
