14 Times Unusual Ideas Worked Like A Charm

Sometimes things work out as usual. You encounter absolutely no problems in your daily life.

Unfortunately, there are also those times when things go awry. And when that happens, you can give up, or you can think quickly on your feet to come up with a solution.

Which way do you go? These folks decided to go with the latter, and we should all applaud them for that.

1. This DIY Backyard Hot Tub

OMG, did somebody really build a hot tub out of an IBC Tote? Oh, yes, that's right. You have seen it first here, folks. I honestly don't know if this is the stupidest idea or the most genius? You decide.

2. This DIY Tractor

Do you need a tractor but can't afford to buy one? No problem. It didn't stop this guy from making one out of his old Lada, ha, ha! Do you see what happens when your brain works?

3. This Use Of A Muffin Pan

Who says you need to buy expensive tool organizers? There's no need for that. Not when you have a perfectly usable muffin pan. Oh wow. I really do like that idea. What do you think of that?

4. This Nifty Solution

This person couldn't find any washers to fit over the heads of these screws. So as you can see, they had to come up with a clever solution for it. I actually never would have thought of this idea.

5. This DIY Packing Tape Gun

Have you ever found yourself in a situation when you needed to dispense small pieces of packing tape fast? Well, this person did, and so they made themselves this useful packing tape dispensing gun. Nice!

6. This Fast Eyeglasses Repair Job

It really does suck when your eyeglasses break. I've had that happen to me, and let me tell you, I wasn't happy about it. This person obviously didn't have the time to get them fixed, so they did it themselves, hee-hee.

7. This Total Gamble

What in the heck is going on? I mean, the critical thinking skills displayed here are top-notch, eh? Don't you think? The thinking, in general, is what's concerning but at least the phone is charging. Am I right?

8. This Unconventional Chair Patch

Comfortable desk chairs are sure expensive. I know that, and that's why I'm still using my old one. This person wasn't ready to spend the dough, so they "fixed" it using duck tape and picture frame holders. Right on!

9. This Flood Solution

How do you deal with rain flooding in through the seams in the door? I would say do some caulking, but no, this person clearly thought this was a better solution for it here. What do you think?

10. This Simple Keyboard Fix

I honestly have to laugh at this. Why? It's because my keyboard has been giving me a lot of issues. But I admit I never thought of just doing this instead of replacing any of my keys.

11. This TV Anchor

I don't know about you, but I at least thought a private hospital whould have it together. But no, this is how they make sure the TV stays at the right angle. Engineering at its best? What do you think?

12. This Monstrosity

Hey, if your car/truck looked like this but did the job, would you still drive it? My concern wouldn't even be how it looks but is it actually street legal? I don't know. I guess they will find out soon enough.

13. This Doorbell Idea

We always seem to have an issue with our doorbell. Sometimes it works, and other times it doesn't. These folks had the same problem, so they figured out a way to solve it. I'm totally stealing this idea here, ha, ha!

14. This Car AC Fix

If your car's AC isn't strong enough to blow cold air to the back seat, what can you possibly do about it? Well, this mom and daughter team came up with a solution, and it actually worked like a charm.

Seriously? All I can say after seeing these unorthodox fixes is — wow!
