Useful homemade products for giving - do it yourself washing
Not everyone has the financial opportunity to buy a car "Karcher". If you can't get it, then why not invent it? A homemade car wash will eliminate the need for running water, reduce water consumption and thoroughly wash your car, fence, garden path, or other items.
Here's what you need for such a homemade product for a summer residence:
- plastic canister with a capacity of 5–20 liters;
- set of hose connectors;
- automobile nipple;
- a piece of hose;
- silicone sealant;
- sharp knife;
- compressor or car pump;
- watering gun.
Take a hose nozzle kit that includes 2 connectors, 3/4 threaded nipple, 1/2 reducer.
Here is the principle of operation of such a homemade product for a summer residence: you connect the gun to the hose, attach this device to the bottom of the canister. A nipple will be built into its neck.
Fill the container with water, but not to the top. Then screw the cap back on and pump air in. This will create pressure and water will run well when you pull the trigger of the gun. Here's how to assemble such a mini-sink.
Carefully cut a hole in the cover with the tip of a knife. It should be slightly less than the diameter of the nipple stem. Also cut a circle of the correct diameter at the bottom of the side of the canister.
Insert the nipple into the cover.
Now, helping yourself with the wire, put the sleeve in the hole provided for it. Apply silicone sealant to secure the junction of the sleeve to the canister.
It is necessary to tighten the lid and perform the rest of the work only after the sealant has completely solidified. Then you connect one end of the hose to the water gun and the other to the canister.
Pour water into a container, but not to the top, so that there is room for pumping air. But do not pump too much so that the canister does not deform or burst under pressure. See how the union should be screwed in and the connectors installed.
If everything is done correctly, then when you pull the trigger of the water pistol, the water will gush with a good stream. You can adjust the pressure by twisting the tip of the gun.
At the dacha, you can hardly do without a shower. Try to make an unusual, and tropical, then you can enjoy even more water treatments.

Take:
- stalk;
- fragment of a water pipe;
- trim from a two-handed saw;
- screws;
- screws;
- a fragment of a profile pipe with a cross section of 3 cm.
Using a grinder, cut a piece of pipe. Taking a lever tool, you need to cut out a piece of pipe, unbend the sector and in the place where the handle will be, you need to work with a hammer to give the future hoe the desired shape.
To make a blade, take a piece of a two-handed saw and sketch out the outlines of the future hoe. Punch two holes.
At the same distance and the same diameter, you need to make 2 holes on the hoe itself, and then cut out a fragment from a two-handed saw.
Drill these holes with a drill and drill designed for metalworking. Connect the two parts with rivets, which are screws.
