Making the mold for the blocks

Filling up the troughs with food coloring and water

Waiting for the water to freeze

Popping the blocks out. They broke randomly, but that was fine - added a bit of randomness to the size of blocks.

Storing them until there was enough to start building

Cleared out a spot

Filled the inside with snow as a temporary support

The last block!

Done the main part! Emptied out the igloo of all the snow.

All done!

It looks cooler at night with the inside lit up

Neat.

I was going to suggest replacing the food coloring with coolaid but an image of Insanity Wolf popped in my head then something about bears

Is this somewhere it'll be cold for like another 4 months? I'd love to see an update.

It's close to Toronto (Canada), so maybe another month or so before we get a big melt.
