Do It Yourself Swimming Pool

For around $1,000 you can have your own swimming pool. Actually the cost could be quite a lot less if you get the dumpster donated. That's right dumpster. Give new life to an old dumpster and you'll be recycling while you keep cool. I'm only sorry that I didn't hear about this earlier in the summer.

Take note of the lap pool in the background of this picture from NPR.
