DIY Homemade Pools That’ll Really Make a Splash

Singing in the Rain

When we first saw this photo, we couldn't help but chuckle. I mean, come on - a guy bathing in a rainwater-filled kiddie pool? But then we read the caption by the Instagram user @the_concrete_teddy_bear and realized this dude's got some serious perspective.

He writes, "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. About today… I was caught in a downpour and totally soaked, beyond angry and ready to take on the world. So I stopped, gave it some thought and tried to think of the exact opposite reaction from what I normally would do. 'The rain let up and nature provided me a little pool to take a quick dip.' I think this 'RedNeck' thing might be wearing off on me."

We have to hand it to him, he's got a point. When life gives you rain, make a pool! And who knows, maybe next time he'll be lounging in a hot tub made from a tractor tire or taking a bubble bath in a grain silo. Keep it up, @the_concrete_teddy_bear, we can't wait to see what's next!
