Please learn to shrink photos a bit. Not everyone has 10mb broadband. After about 6 minutes, it looks good.

I saw some neighbours making one, and I went over to have a chat...but they were typical southerners, and weren't up for talking with a stranger.

Shame, because I'd have happily joined in and helped... Rolling Eyes

Anyway, I am pleased to report their miserable effort at an igloo failed. I nipped out to check progress on Saturday, and it wasn't even finished. Thumbs Down

Losers.

I learned to Ski in Canada, and had a Quebequees ski-instructor.
The Quebequees, are decendents of the early French-speaking settlers in North america, and have retained a bastardised, antiquated french as thier own langauge.... AND insist that all public notices in Canada are signed in both English (or what passes for such in the colonies) and French (again, or what passes for such amongst the maple munchers) leading to such anomolies, as an air-port, invented after the quebequees arrival in the americas, so not in the vocbulary of the ancient frogs that settled the place.
Now, I'm not very good at French, but even in my failed GCSE, I managed to learn that air-port, in French, is, "L'air-0-porte". aparently, this was too 'English' for the quebequees, who instead decided that it should be "l'aero-gare" the air-station! This gives you an insight into the prevailing Quebequees mentality...
Decended of pre-revolutionary (American AND french) frenche settlers, they consider themselves to be the original fronteersmen and second only to the true 'Native Americans' as far as thier 'American' heritage.
So, consider a Quebecees Ski-Instrutor, not only a proud Quebecees, but ALSO inately proud that he is 1/8 Plains Indian, and 1/4 Inuit.....
Then watch him laugh-off, the 'inbreeding' jokes that the Quebecees get in Canada like hill-billies do south of the 42nd parallel... as he takes a swig of his hip-flask, belches like Nanook of the north, then continues seriousely, that ACTUALLY the inuit were very particular about the 'in-breeding' problem in remote, isolated commutites........ According to this chap, in faltering American english, with heavy archaic french accent, he explained.....
The Inuit had no word for war. The plains indians, lived for war, and inter-tribal disputes, but the innuit had more pressing worries battling with the elements and the foces of nature, to be too bothered about which tribe claimed which patch of snow.... there was more than enough of it to go round, he explained, all of it cold and inhospitable, and describeable with the many words the Inuit had for ALL the different kinds!
Consequently, in Inuit society, should they come accross a stranger in thier hunting lands, that stranger was not instantly attacked with a tomohawk or whalebone harpoon, but invited into thier home. They'd probably be cold and hungry, and in need of shelter, and by offering thier hospitality, should they ever get lost in a snow-storm, then they might expect the same curtecy from any neighbouring tribe.
In fact, so keen were the Inuit to extend thier hospitality, that when a lost hunter found his way into another tribes encampment, the most emminant man in the family would not only offer the lost hunter his home, but also his wife, to keep his bed warm, and thaw frozen bones.
Not only did such custom do much to aid inter-tribal relations, and foster the ideas of extending curteouse hospitality to travellers, it also helped put new DNA into the gene pool, against the problem of inter-breeding! As well as spice up a sex life whic apparently could get a little dull, in 20 hour long winter nights, with no TV.
Hence Inuit and Quibecees, CANNOT be accused of being inter-bred! It is alien to thier culture and ideas of hospitality...
The only down-side was aparently the Igloo, for a good sized Eskimo family, around 25ft in diameter, with walls anything between four and six feet thick, would loose about 3-4" of thickness during the night, and the 'Guest' was expected to re-pack the lost snow on the outside, before leaving!

Teflon-Mike strikes again Laughing

Seriously good job though. I'm depressed the foot of snow I had here is melted now. If I could of had this idea then I would have done it too. I would have done it in the communal lawn in front of my group of houses though and maybe everyone would have joined in. There was more than enough snow to do it with too Smile

Ah well, maybe it'll snow again before too long.

That igloo is pretty freakin' sweet! I always wanted to have a go at making one, I assume you packed the snow into that box and turned it out to give you the nice brick shapes?
