Do you want to build a snowman?

An Innisfil man has built a giant version of Olaf, the snowman from the Disney animated film Frozen, much to the delight of his grandchildren and the neighbouring kids.

“We have the kids coming by from school all the time,” said Ken Weichel. “They all sat down in front and got their picture taken.”

The Olaf snowman is about 13 feet tall and took Weichel more than 40 hours to build.

This is the second Olaf he’s built this year. His buttons are made of stove pipe plates, his eyes are cap pipes for plumbing, and his nose is part of a vacuum wrapped in orange chamois cloths.

Weichel built a smaller version of Olaf around Christmas, but it melted.

“For at least two decades, we’ve done something on the lawn,” Weichel said. “I’ve done toilets, I’ve done igloos, I’ve done all kinds of things.”

One year he built a giant heart out of snow for Valentine’s Day.

“I got so many complaints from husbands: ‘My wife is going to want something like that.’”

Weichel’s grandchildren are big fans of the Frozen films and have loved seeing Olaf come to life on their front lawn. Other children and their parents have also stopped by to see Olaf. Weichel is happy to invite them up to get a picture.
