The sink is a massive rock-filled basin, making handwashing a touch-and-feel adventure with the raw power of rocks. Even the walls are decked out in stone tiles, creating a kind of cave-meets-modern-art vibe.

Gardening Made Easy

The shower, once a place solely reserved for washing and relaxation, is now a thriving place of greenery. Suspended just below the showerhead, there's a garden, boasting an assortment of plants that would make any plant enthusiast weak in the knees.

As you turn on the shower, the water drizzles down, not just refreshing you but also quenching the thirst of your leafy companions.

When Your AC Stops Working

When the AC of their car stopped working, instead of sweating it out, this person went for a DIY fix. As you hop into the backseat of their car, expecting a cool ride, what do you find? A window AC unit peeking out from the window of the passenger seat!

They rigged it up and taped it with whatever wood planks and tape they could find, probably from the nearest discount store. The air blows, kind of, but the aesthetics are absurd!

Clutch to Flush

When their toilet decided to retire, they didn't just call a plumber. Oh no, they went all in and replaced the flush with the motor, clutch, and gear from a motorcycle.

You walk into the bathroom, ready to do your business, and there it is - a motorcycle engine staring back at you. The flush lever is now a legit motorcycle clutch and next to it is a gear lever with the sign proudly proclaiming "Clutch to Flush."
