The Snow Fort

Jack and two of the neighbour boys began a construction project on Monday. It started as a snow fort, but with subsequent melting and overnight freezing, it has been renamed The Ice House.

It started as some big snowballs ...and developed. It became quite the architectural puzzle, with many boys and men, who were just passing, offering advice and the odd bit of help.The roof became a conundrum, but they built and built out and up until it had two 'rooms'.

They worked for 6 hours on Monday with only a brief soup break and a hot chocolate break in the afternoon. If only such dedication could be applied to Chemistry homework.

Each subsequent day brought more snow and more opportunities to build.
Their clothes may be soaking, but they've had fun! Boy fun is different to girl fun, it seems. As not one single girl helped (except me and I have to say it was my idea!{g})

Inside the icehouse!

There's more snow forecast so we'll see how long this structure remains!
