Time and Money Down the Drain: DIY Projects You'll Want to Avoid
3. Sound System for the Pool
Estimated Cost (New): $40
Estimated Cost (DIY): Inconceivable
Occasionally, an image surfaces online that captures widespread attention and sparks conversations worldwide. This time, it’s not about melting ice caps or climate change; instead, it features three guys lounging in a pool while powering a stereo with an extension cord.
The estimated cost for a new stereo setup might be around $40, but attempting a DIY version of this scenario? That’s simply inconceivable!
For the remarkably low price of $30, you can purchase a floating pool speaker on Amazon. However, this seemingly simple solution comes with significant risks. If water seeps into the plug, the entire setup—including the pool, the people in it, and any nearby electronics—could be in serious danger.
The question of ignorance arises: can we truly quantify the potential costs of such a careless decision? And let’s not forget the unfortunate waste of beer sitting on that unstable table. What about poor Budweiser, left to suffer in this chaotic scenario?
In many ways, this situation represents a disaster waiting to happen, highlighting the consequences of reckless behavior.
