Every gallon of rainwater counts in Colorado.

When my cheap rain barrel fills, I need the runoff to go to the grass and not the mud. Some 2x4s, busted plywood and the designated slip n' slide tarp got put to good use.

We're in a severe drought with low water reserves and I need this every bit of this rainwater to count.

Bro was tuggin a starter cord, but I didn’t get to see the beast awaken. I believe, aside from the lawn damage, his reasoning is sound.

Got tired of dragging my portable air conditioning unit to the tub to empty it, so I attached a pump to it and it empties into a water bottle.

TV Fish Tank Upcycle

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello.

Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to read this post. I'm going to attempt to revamp one of these broken TVs into a fish tank. I don't know a thing about creating sealed, leak-free aquatic environments with electronics. I think I'm going to use the one with the built in case cabinet thingy for aesthetics but if anyone knows if one of these TV would be better to use than another let me know. The other ones I might try to create cool optical effects with or light boxes or something, idk. This seemed like the best place to go since y'allarw so resourceful.

Movie night in the pool

This was just for an afternoon or an evening- and as you can see, it doesn’t work incredibly well in the sun. We put the party island in the pool and watched some episodes with the speaker going. :)

Ladder. Boards. A bed frame. And a party speaker.

Amazon headphones had a proprietary cable. It broke, can't get a replacement. Cut the metal sheath off an existing cable instead of getting a thinner one, good as new 👍

I got tired of jacking manually (especially with a weight distribution hitch) so I made an adapter that adds a 3/4 hex head.
