The first of the '08-'09 Igloos has been built. To be completely fair this more of a qhuinzee hut, but hey me and a few snow fort nuts aside who will care?
I took a major short cut this time by burying my daughters "cabin the woods" play house. In the summer it is big enough inside to fit she and I sitting on some low stools. And it is stout enough to support my body weight. To keep snow from pouring in while I buried and compacted I put sections of "Hilary for president" signs over the windows. They are coro-plast and do not bond with the snow so the slide out very easily. After it was buried, compacted, and allowed some bonding time I then cut out the door. I think it looks charming. The door really does it for me.
My daughter loves it. My wife will go in it (she is too freaked out to go in my normal huts.) And the rest of my family feels much better knowing there is a frame work to keep my daughter from getting squished in a collapse. (My family has given up on me and plan to just put my headstone where my last fort caves in)
Now it is time to build mine.

I love it! I love that Adeline is looking at Mary like, "Mom, you've got my back, right?"
We're going to Skateaway on Friday night for 70s & 80s night. We're figuring that will mean fewer shrill teenagers. Want to come?
The best part was the eating of the walls once inside
