Too many of today’s filmgoers may not appreciate the breadth of work that Tom Skerritt left when he passed away this week at the age of 93. Skerritt got his start in war movies and TV shows like 12 O’Clock High and Gunsmoke in the early ’60s, but became a regular in the New Hollywood […]
The post Alien Works Because Tom Skerritt Went from Lead to Supporting appeared first on Den of Geek.
At what point does a backyard project get completely out of hand? Maybe when you’ve spent five months building a sauna, or when your new garden furniture is a chair that seats four people. And then there’s the guy who decided to build an entire observatory. These are actual projects people have shared on Reddit, complete with photos of the work and the finished results. Some are genuinely useful, others are just funny to look at, and a few must have raised questions with the neighbors. We can’t imagine the planning involved in some of them, but we can appreciate the results. Here are 15 backyard projects that got a little out of control.
Dad Needed a Chair the Size of a Sofa
After seeing an oversized chair in a park, a Reddit user built an enormous wooden version for his father that can comfortably accommodate three or four people.
Someone Turned the Yard Into a Mini Golf Course
One homeowner built a homemade miniature golf course using natural materials, completing five of the planned nine holes and inventing a game called “5 Ball Jimmy.”
The Kids Got an Entire Pirate Ship
After finding commercial playground sets too expensive, a parent built an elaborate pirate ship in the backyard, creating a nautical playground for the family.
Someone Built an Actual Backyard Roller Coaster
A Reddit user built a wooden roller coaster in their own backyard, complete with a traditional-style track that reaches approximately six feet at its highest point.
Stargazing Required a Personal Observatory
An astronomy enthusiast upgraded a backyard observatory into a dome-equipped telescope station, with plans to add automated controls and weather sensors.
Movie Night Needed a 150-Inch Screen
One homeowner built a backyard movie theater, installing a 150-inch projection screen, surround-sound speakers, lighting, and patio seating.
This Bush Got Its Own Sculpted Face
A gardener incorporated a hand-sculpted face into a backyard bush, using the plant’s dark green foliage as the sculpture’s hair.
Someone Decided to Build a Private Sauna
A first-time DIY builder spent five months of weekends constructing a cedar sauna in the backyard, complete with insulated windows and an electric heater.
