Igloo: the movie

Posted Thursday 7th January 2010 by Nick

With most of our staff stranded at home, the few of us that were able to come in undertook an epic igloo construction project.

It took nearly 8 hours, 6 staff members and over 100 snow blocks to create, as you can see the result was pretty fantastic.

My fellow designer Harry has prepared a brief video of the event complete with Hoff/Pingu soundtrack enjoy!

So this year, with the arrival of  up to 40cms of snow in some parts of the South, we decided to build an igloo in our office car park.

The following video shows you the construction process and some of the problems we encountered while building our snow house:

Overnight, Fubra HQ, Aldershot and the surrounding areas were covered in a blanket of snow TEN inches thick! Some staff were unable to make it in, but the Directors need to set the example!

Here’s Fubra’s MD Brendan skiing – yes, skiing – into work!
