THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND

One of them is igloos. They must work. I mean, they've been around forever. They're fun to make with sugar cubes. Eskimo kissing is fun, too. But I don't understand the igloo (it's even a fun word to say) unless its sole purpose is to be used as a wind break.

Our house in AZ doesn't have a great R rating for insulation. When it gets cold, the walls, even the interior ones get cold on the inside. Imagine how cold if they're made of compacted snow and ice. So if your source of heat is body heat, and if you get a lot of Eskimo bodies in there and it starts to warm up, then your house melts.

Plus, there has to be some kind of opening to allow more oxygen in or it would get used up after a short while. Cracks in the ice blocks? That would defeat the windbreak if you had too many. Ice dampers? I doubt it with all the snow.

As I said, there are tons of things I don't know. But I know I got cold just writing this entry.
