30 Funny DIY Fixes That Take Redneck Engineering To Another Level
I envy anyone who can see a problem and fix it with whatever they have lying around the house. People like that have an engineering gene that I just don’t have.
If something breaks at my house, I stare at it for a few minutes, look up how much a new one costs, and then hope it starts working again on its own. Meanwhile, these people are building functional air conditioners out of old washing machines and turning pontoon boats into a front porch.
These funny fixes from r/redneckengineering may not win any design awards, but they solve real problems with whatever happened to be nearby. Sometimes the smartest solution isn’t the prettiest one. It’s the one that works.
