If you’ve ever been to Florida, you know that in the summer months it gets unbearably hot. Nothing feels worse than the heat and humidity of Florida. So when Carl Morris, a Florida resident, set out to cool his kids off, you can bet he tried damn hard. It seems that hard work and patience paid off in the form of the KidWash 2.

KidWash 2 is a PVC pipe stand with misting water jets built-in. Run underneath it and get soaked. Walk near it and get soaked. Ride your bike through it and GET SOAKED. Carl was kind enough to throw a HOWTO up on Instructables so you can build your own and beat the heat!

If you have ever lived in a suburban neighborhood, you know how obsessive people can be about their lawns. You can hear your neighbors outside at 2 a.m. whispering words of encouragement to their plants. It borders on lunacy really. If you are one of these people, but you lack the funds to get a proper sprinkler, about $5 and a few minutes of work will provide you with a suitable substitute.

All you need is a 20 oz plastic bottle with a cap, 1 universal male hose attachment, 15 old ball-point pens, Plumbing contact adhesive and sealant, an electric drill with a 3.8″ and 5/8″ spade bit, and a utility knife. Most of that you probably have lying around the house, if not the price may be a little higher. Still, it will probably be cheaper than buying the real thing.
