When a problem needs to be fixed, you can do two things: call the professionals, who will do a competent job for a nominal fee; or fix it yourself, even when you have no idea what you're doing.
We all know that the first option is the safe option. But for those who like a little walk on the wild side, why not do it DIY style? At the very least, the handiwork will be immortalized on the internet forever.
If you want to extend your wifi signal outdoors, you need a phone node. If you want cars to stop backing into your phone node every day, you need a...clumsily placed pink boulder, I suppose.
This solution is absolutely delightful. Not only did it successfully scare away the bird, I'll bet it scared away any would-be burglars that might have been casing this house.
That new back panel fits the car pretty well, all things considered. I'm less focused on the panel and more focused on what caused the trunk to be shortened like that. Did someone come along and slice it with a really sharp sword or something?
There are plenty of safe ways to move a hot tub, with step-by-step instructions and everything. Then again, some people don't believe in reading instructions.
I truly admire this guy's homemade shower, but my man needs to chill. You're not supposed to be walking around public places, fully clothed, while you shower. He needs to take a minute, find somewhere private, and do his shower then.
For most of us, Mad Max is a vision of a far-off post-apocalyptic future. For others, that world is already upon us. That homemade rollcage is a great addition. I mean, he may be driving a hillbilly battle car, but safety's still important.
All you really need to fix a torn bumper is something to punch holes and a bunch of zip ties. It might be ugly, but it's cheap and effective.
Not many people just happen to have bouncy house inflation devices lying around. But for those who do, the rapid blowing action has a number of uses around the house that aren't strictly related to bouncy houses.
I'm on board with the wood pallet gate, even if it sticks out like a sore thumb. The plastic wrap hinges, though? There's no way they'll last.
I have a serious soft spot for the '90s computer aesthetic — all boxy monitors and off-white equipment. There's a fine line between everyday nostalgia and being a total dork, though, and whoever made this mouse crossed that line a long time ago.
If you spend enough time on Reddit, you'll see some wild car mods. I think this is a first, though. No one else has been inspired enough (dumb enough?) to turn a regular Volkswagen Golf into a fully functional forklift.
A steering wheel is really just a big grip to hold onto so you can control the steering column. It could be any shape at all, really. Still, after seeing this, I'll stick with my round wheel.
I think many of us have found ourselves in this situation before. It might look ugly, but you get used to it eventually. Also, calling a plumber is expensive while this is a free fix.
I think that jackstand is verging on being too narrow to support a big Christmas tree. But it seems to be working pretty well, and it's a great way to repurpose stuff from the workshop.
I would argue that when you're camping, you're obligated to deal with the temperature, whether it's hot or cold. Blowing air conditioning into an uninsulated tent isn't going to keep things cool for long. Still, it's hard not to respect the ingenuity that's on display here.
If you have powerful lungs, you can always inflate stuff like this yourself. It'll take forever, though. If you have any kind of inflation device and a funnel, here's a faster option.
I like this because the mirror problem has been fixed with a piece of technology that cost hundreds of dollars, but somehow, it doesn't look like a high-tech fix at all. Ah well, it's better than driving around with no mirror.
You don't need wiring or power or any of that to have an effective backup detector. All you really need is something that'll scream or honk at you when it's pressed. It might look stupid, but it works.
I'd love to see this guy do his thing in real time, because I'd imagine those pallets would be constantly shifting around.
Are you living your dream? Am I living my dream? Those are big questions that are tough to answer. The only thing I can say with any certainty is that this guy is most definitely living his dream.
