Man builds igloo in parents' front yard complete with flat screen TV

Talk about a man cave. Here's a great Eskimo escape.

AQUILLA, OHIO (WKOW) -- An Ohio man turned a winter chore into a work of art. Jimmy Grey was shoveling snow at his parents' home, when he got an idea to build an igloo.

After moving mounds of snow to one side of the driveway, he began building the structure. It has windows, a fire pit, and even a flat screen TV with surround sound.

Grey had a house warming party Super Bowl Sunday to show off the structure.

Grey says candles help add ambiance for nighttime get-togethers with friends, and the freezing temperatures mean that the beer never goes warm.

1. Picture?

How very disappointing that the link didn't have any pictures! Perhaps I am being a technotard and its just not loading. Alas, what happens to the TV when the ice melts. There goes the electrics!

And kudos to his parents for allowing him to build an igloo on their front lawn!

5. This is a Cleveland area story.

It's probably what I'd do if I weren't employed: explore the creative/industrious side.

Not getting how the TV survives the drips, though.

8. Properly designed, they can be surprisingly dry on the inside. (nt)

6. How is the TV still working?

And how has anyone not stolen it yet?

7. Housewarming party? Is that a good idea in an igloo? Just asking.
