You Need A Bit Of Time On Your Hands For This One,

not to mention snow, freezing temperatures and lots of empty drinks cartons,

but how about this for a winter time project, thanks to an ingenious mother from Edmonton it’s quite possible nobody will every build a plain white igloo again, the adventure began with a kernel of an idea from Brigid Burton, whose daughter Kathleen Starrie and boyfriend Daniel Gray, an engineering student, were coming for a winter visit from New Zealand,

wanting to “keep him occupied” during the frigid winter days that often dip down to -25 °F (-31 °C), last October she began filling paper cartons with coloured water and setting them outside to form translucent ice bricks, She hoped Gray’s engineering skills would do the rest,

like a total champ he accepted the challenge and with the help of additional family and neighbours the team spent nearly 150 hours fitting the 500 ice bricks into place, a white igloo? how retro!
