The local kids have an igloo!

Hello,

This 9' build of Dec 30 is later than normal, but life has been busy and the snow was slow in coming. Better late than never!

I've a new choice location! Turns out the housing manager's son of the building I'm in (& opposite) loved playing in former igloos I've built and has given me permission to build on housing property. The spot is protected from the sun by the building, I can see it from my apartment as can the security staff. Though it is within a u-shape of a building, wind remains. I am hoping that with the igloo being in a lit area I won't have as many drinkers making a mess in the wee hours. Thus far kids & adults of both apartment buildings have enjoyed it!

The snow was properly aged and hadn't suffered melting & re-freezing; start temperature was about -10C and reached -5, so not a bad building day. Snow quality was about average+. I'd a co-worker join for her 4th build and a tall novice - the vet is why the pad is a work of art; she's not tall enough to shovel snow for the upper levels and so switches to manicuring the pad. =) The pad was built days before build-day of course.

And now the daily routine of checking its condition and reading new flattering log entries! =)
