A New Build From Michael Woodford Motorsport

Tank Mike · 09-01-2010, 07:33 PM

Firstly the build only started today. We hoping to finnish by tommorrow.

We have never carried out a build quite like this before so any comments are welcome from people experanced in the feild.

So far we haven't needed may tools, We've used a spelthorne recycling box, X2 shovels, a trowel and a fish slice.

Heres some build photos

It is currently about 5foot high and the floor space is about 10foot in diameter. We plan to go back tommorrow and build another 3 bricks high witch should draw it to a close at the top. If we do actully get it compleated me and my mate are going to spend the night in it tommorrow night

beef

Charlie Chalk · 09-01-2010, 09:33 PM

Where abouts is that? I'm in Uxbridge.

Would be quite warm inside with a candle once finished

Mr.T · 09-01-2010, 09:42 PM

one tip tho. DON't USE THE YELLOW SNOW.

I have heard that that type of snow has a strange effect on the rest

nuttynil · 09-01-2010, 10:01 PM

great that is ace ,mind out you don`t get a family of kosovans moving in it ...

warrenpenalver · 10-01-2010, 05:35 AM

remember your sleeping area needs to be higher than the entrance. The idea being cold air sinks so you can be sleeping just out of the freezing air layer.

also dont forget to poke a couple of ventilation holes in top with your ski poles (end removed of course). especially important if using a gas stove!!!!

Make your entrance in the lee of the wind to avoid direct drafts. If you cant or the wind is shifting then build a small snow wall infront of entrance.

rsmat · 10-01-2010, 10:46 AM

fmpsl...

J1mbo · 10-01-2010, 12:47 PM

i would love to stay in that

awsome mate

xr_craig · 10-01-2010, 12:51 PM

Awesome, we built one when i was about 14. Not quite as big as that. Some fuckers smashed it though

xrmalin · 10-01-2010, 12:53 PM

we tried to do this last time we had snow building the walls was the easiest bit but once we tried to curve the roof over to join it all up it it kept falling in i hope yours dont do that f your going to kip in it

mark.

warrenpenalver · 10-01-2010, 05:25 PM

to stop it falling in you need to be accurate with making your bricks to they support each other. you can also cross brace with a couple of sticks which you remove.

when the royals showed us how its done, they used a massive wood saw to cut the snow as you can get nice accurate shaped bricks!

The cheat method is build the igloo on a rounded pile of snow then once complete you dig it out via the entrance.

Tank Mike · 10-01-2010, 08:08 PM

*UPDATE*

So today we compleated the build. We added 2 more items to our tools used list, One was a ladder, the other a pallet.

We got a bit carried away size wise at it currently stands at just over 12ft tall.

People were pulling over and photoing us and beeping as they drove past.

So as stated about, tonight i will be sleeping in it. Got to be worth it for shits and giggles

cossiejsy · 10-01-2010, 08:10 PM

well done and good luck for tonight

st3v3 · 10-01-2010, 08:24 PM

ive always wondered, how cold are they inside, compared to how cold you think it'll be.

I imagine though,it'll be fooking cold and thats enough for me to say "im out"

boothy · 10-01-2010, 08:28 PM

Fair play mate

Tank Mike · 10-01-2010, 08:33 PM

there actully bloody warm.

Inside it theres a very noticeable differnce between outside and inside.

st3v3 · 10-01-2010, 08:36 PM

well good luck to ya matey

and have fun, just put a sign up on the outside so no pissheads come and kick it in whilst your a sleep in it, you'll look like a lamb joint in the morning else lol
