If having a newborn baby at home wasn't enough, Westport's Christopher Lloyd and his family decided to create another masterpiece.
With the help of his father-in-law who was visiting from Utah, Lloyd constructed a massive, brightly colored igloo in his front yard.
"It's attracting people from all over Westport," neighbor Melissa Fass says.
It took them 50 hours of work over the past week.
Lloyd would sometimes work well into the night after the sun went down.
"Christopher is mostly crazy," father-in-law Barry Noorda says. "But he's dedicated."
The family mixed food coloring with water and froze dozens of trays to create the building blocks.
Lloyd and his father-in-law then mixed snow with hot water to create the "cement."
The igloo stands over 7 feet tall.
"We did it," Lloyd says. "What a beast."
The family is still undecided about if they want to create a floor for the igloo with all the broken pieces of colored blocks.
