Living up to his name, Mason helped his father break ground Saturday afternoon on what they envisioned as the mother-of-all-snow-forts. After an hour and a half on Saturday and around an hour and a half on Sunday, the project is nearing completion.
The picture below shows Mason painting the snow fort blue and green. Red was considered but vetoed after Mason’s mother realized that red might make the fort look as though it had seen a fierce and bloody battle.
Snow bricks were built using an old food and beverage cooler that had a removable lid. Saturday’s bricks are a lower grade material than Sunday’s bricks. The wall closest to the street was done on Saturday—the back wall on Sunday. So, we could probably repel an attack from the rear much better than a frontal assault.
