Fortunately, he wasn’t alone in this endeavor, as he had his friends by his side to lend a hand.
Despite the support, they encountered a few setbacks initially. According to one of Dixon’s friends, their initial attempt failed when the top collapsed during the process of working on the interior and pulling out the snow. However, they persevered and found a way to reconstruct the igloo’s dome.
“When we first started working on it, all we had was a pile of snow, and then we were working on the inside to pull it all out,” Dixon’s friend told Fox 8. “The top collapsed, but with some clever thinking from Blake and persistence, we managed to rebuild the dome.”
While some may view it as a simple structure for children to play in, the igloo boasts its own full sitting area, a hallway, and a second room. Impressively, it can accommodate up to seven adults and two children simultaneously.
In a February 2023 Instagram post, Dixon shared the final product and expressed gratitude to everyone who helped make his dream a reality. He even opened it up for rent to those curious about living in an igloo.
“Here is the final product! Thanks for everyone’s help. Let me know if anyone wants to rent it out!” he wrote in the caption.
Ultimately, Dixon’s ingenuity and effort make the igloo a cozy retreat despite the chilly weather
