Oscar Risco, a contractor from New York, spent a whopping ten hours building a nine-foot-tall igloo based on SpongeBob's pineapple house for his three-year-old daughter Aliyah.

"She saw it was snowing, and the first thing she said was she wanted an igloo," he told Brooklyn Paper.

The three-year-old had already picked out a design for her new igloo with her dad before it started snowing, and she couldn't wait to be able to walk into very own SpongeBob house.

Oscar made a huge pile of snow in his backyard and worked late into the night.

Instead of going to bed after finishing the pineapple-shaped house, he decided to build a second structure next to the igloo that resembled SpongeBob's neighbor Squidward's house.

Oscar didn't finish the project until 4:00 AM, which didn't leave him much time to sleep. After all, as soon as Aliyah woke up, she immediately wanted to go outside.

The igloos aren't just a hit in the neighborhood!

When she discovered the two structures in the garden, Aliyah went absolutely crazy. "She loved it," Oscar grinned.

Oscar, who is a contractor by trade, said that creating igloos for the little ones is his creative outlet.

Online, the pineapple house igloo also wowed hundreds of users when Rico's wife posted a picture to the Facebook group Show Me Your NYC!!!
