In all an interesting project though one that resulted in sore hamstrings and a sore back.
The resultant structure is big enough that my 11 year old can stand fully inside in the middle of it and the floor is big enough to sit all five of us comfortably.

If it makes it through the temps in the 50's the next two days and lasts until the snow comes back Friday we may even try to sleep in it this weekend.

The upside is we've told the kids that as long as this thing is standing, if they're disobedient, the punishment will be 20 minutes in the igloo in naught but their undies.

Here's wishing each of you a happy 2007 and a year that is better than your previous one. No matter how good (or bad) 2006 was.
