Country pond from an old basin
An original solution was applied to a small plastic basin that had either become unusable or lost its aesthetic appearance. Now it is a small pond, which is made very simply. A small hole was dug in a convenient place, where the basin was installed. Further, just a few types of plants around the new summer cottage, and nice decor. The only issue is the periodic removal of water from such a pond, but we will leave that to the pumps.
Playground accessories
From old and unnecessary things you can make interesting accessories for the playground. At first glance, this is not a very attractive invention, but this is where children can let off steam. Get ready for it to be noisy and fun, but these are costs.

Other types available for self-assembly
You can assemble a one-wheeled cart yourself. The easiest way to make it is from wood. First you need to make a mounting frame. A wooden wheel is then attached to the bottom of the frame. A loading platform is made from 120 cm long bars. Using a self-tapping screw, the frame with the wheel is attached to the cargo container.

I would like to change the stroller, but is it worth it?
In general, I don’t know what fabrics to choose for covers, this time.
I guess that I will have to disassemble it, and I want to make a five-point instead of a three-point, that’s two. I don’t know what the material on the belts is called, there are three. I have a sewing machine, yes, but I have very little idea how to make a cover, and whether my machine (very old) will take the necessary fabric, that’s four. I don’t know what to buy besides fabric and belts. and most importantly - the price of the stroller - 1,500 rubles - is it worth it? “throw it away and buy it” comments are good, but it’s better to get to the point, I want to calculate the cost of repairs and make a verdict
