Unemployed Ohio man chills out in extreme igloo

AQUILLA, Ohio — It’s quite the man cave.

Jimmy Grey says he’s been out of work for almost a year and needed a project to stay busy. So with the heavy snowfall this winter, the 25-year-old laborer got to work on an extreme igloo in his family’s yard in Aquilla, about 30 miles east of Cleveland.

His four-room creation has 6-foot ceilings and an entertainment room. He powers the TV with an extension cord plugged into an outlet in the garage. He also ran wires for cable television with surround-sound stereo.

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

surprisingly once you get inside an igloo, it starts to feel warmer in there. I guess it might be because of the humidity building up, but I actually made an igloo after our 2 ft. snowfall a few weeks ago

Snow acts as isolation. My dad used to shovel snow around the foundation of the house in winter to help insulate
