Everyone wants a pool in their backyard until they realize they never actually swim in it. Those neglected pools become nothing more than holes in the ground filled with cloudy water that act as mosquito magnets. Not this pool though. This outdoor pool is magic. The floors sinks into the ground and it fills itself up with water. Lovely.
Patio screen doors are fantastic at letting the breeze in and crucial in blocking insect intruders. But in a perfect world, we wouldn’t even need them. In the real world, they’d somehow close themselves so we wouldn’t be bothered with them. We can make that happen. Genius Clan McArthur rigged his screen door so it automatically closes. It’s so easy you can do it too.
World’s Coolest Dad (of the Week) Builds a Backyard Roller Coaster for His Daughter
Posted in: Today's ChiliWhen I was younger, I was obsessed with two things: toy cards and Coca-Cola. So one day, my cooler-than-cool father surprised me with a toy car he put together from scrap blocks of wood, all covered with cut-up Coke cans.
It seems like there isn’t anything that doting fathers won’t do. Another shining example is this dad who built his daughter her very own roller coaster, right in their backyard.
Yes, you read that right: he built her an actual roller coaster! It’s smaller than the ones you see at amusement parks and it’s sort of a manual-type of coaster since the wagon has to be pushed upward until it reaches the peak. But it’s still pretty awesome and features a 12-foot drop. Check it out in the video below.
Pretty awesome, isn’t it?… Though he should think about buying a helmet for his daughter.
