When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or, and hear us out, use that lemon as a counterbalance for some insane DIY creation that would make the blue-collar Einsteins featured in this gallery proud. 

Life is all about getting by with what you've got and sometimes what you've got ain't much. But take a page out of the quick fixes book of blue-collar engineering and make do with what you've got. 

From monstrous car creations to homemade outdoor showers, there is a little bit for all the home DIY enthusiasts here. Out in the sun too long? Make a hat. Don't have a mailbox? Use an old microwave, extra points if it's still plugged in. 

No matter what job you've got on your list, hiring a professional, while the right move, isn't nearly as fun as creating something from nothing. Country boys will make do.
