Unemployed US man chills out in massive igloo

February 17, 2010

Guru has sympathy for those who have been made redundant during the recession. Too often losing your job can lead to depression and despair - so it's particularly important to keep busy and have a project.

That's exactly what unemployed US labourer Jimmy Grey did. With the heavy snowfall that America has experienced recently, Grey got to work on building an extremely impressive igloo in his family's yard in Cleveland.

The four-room man-cave has six-foot ceilings and an entertainment room rigged up with cable TV and surround-sound stereo, enabling him and his mates to watch sport in his icy mansion. Grey told the local newspaper that candles help to add ambiance for night time get-togethers with friends, and the freezing temperatures mean that the beer is always chilled.

With that kind of ingenuity and skill, Guru is sure Jimmy will find another job soon.
