“Gave An OSHA Inspector A Stroke”: 50 Times People Fixed Their Problems In The Most “Genius” Ways (New Pics)
Human creativity knows no bounds. After all, we were the ones who came up with the pyramids, the computer, and the animated masterpiece Shrek. However, not every invention has to be pretty or cool. Sometimes, creating something just for bits and giggles can be just as rewarding and inventive.
Here we have for you some examples that show even the dumbest solutions and engineering ideas can work, no matter how silly or useless they look. Courtesy of the "Redneck Engineering" community, we've compiled a selection of revamped gear that shows you don't need a lot of money to make something work.
You can totally make a DIY cybertruck (more like a cybershed, to be honest) or MacGyver an iPhone tripod from a spatula and a welding clamp – you just have to get creative!

When I was in grad school one of the other students had made himself a whole cubicle out of cardboard. He had a "private room" in our shared space.

Turns Out 1/2 Inch Conduit Has The Same Dimensions As Foldable Lawn Chair Frames
Had a friend jump into a lawn chair too hard and snapped one of the frame pieces and bent another, and I wanted to fix it since it has a footrest and most chairs you can find for cheap don’t have that. Turns out $7 gets you 10 feet of conduit and a few couplers which does the job on replacing them pretty well

Dorm AC
Kelly Scott 10 months ago
When I was raising mice, I ended up keeping them in a 2'x3' cage about 2ft high. The top was screened, two of the walls were clear plastic, and two of the walls were also screened. On super hot days, I used to drape a wet towel over one of the screened sides and put a fan on the other side. Now I had to rewet the towel about every 45 minutes, but in 100 degree heat, it would lower the cage temp to between 80° to 85° (I kept a small thermometer inside the cage). Mice can get very stressed with extreme temperatures and temperature changes and that directly affects their longevity.

How My BF Lifted The Washing Machine Onto The Table He Built For Our Laundry Room
He literally drilled into the ceiling just to have something to secure the ratchet straps to the washing machine as he attempted to lift it onto the table with a hydraulic jack (unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of the wooden frame he built, carefully crafted to have a “jack point”, and the wood was ratchet strapped to the bottom of the washer as he jacked it up.
After seeing the washer swinging around a bit, I brought in the paver bricks from the backyard to help with stability after the washer was swinging a bit too much to jack it any higher up.
I was so stressed out about the swinging washer that I walked away after snapping the pic (to send to a friend begging them to come over and bring their bf to help with this washing machine lifting) and came back a few minutes later to see the washer was up on the table he built.
I’m just glad he figured it out because we had no washer or dryer for almost a month after the custom table was built and put in the laundry room, but we couldn’t figure out how to get it up there!
