We’ve got a big problem in America with thinking of virtually everything we own as being disposable. If something breaks, few of us bother to try to fix it – instead, we put it out by the curb and run to Wal-Mart to replace it. So, those people who manage to keep using stuff throughout its entire life cycle and way (way) beyond are to be commended – even if sometimes, their jury-rigged creations are a bit scary.
A website called “There, I Fixed It” is an awesome online gallery of unbelievable MacGuyvered objects, from a bed held up with a car jack to a Pringles can used to replace an intake tube in a car engine. Be warned, you will get sucked in and forget all about what you were supposed to be doing.
Here’s to the uber-creative people who risk their own safety to keep stuff out of landfills (even if their motivation is just being cheap)!
