probably not good to make that at all...you know cardboard breaks down pretty quickly and is put together with GLUE right?? leaching into the water, breaking down in the heat all day...seriously dude, please rethink this...besides, it's fuckin Cardboard! how long could it last anyways? lol

[Homemadegameguru]

@chriscunanan Just a craft idea bud. Not to be taken seriously by anyone who thinks it won't work. My smaller cold tub version is still standing and can hold water. Naturally it takes some maintenance and common sense to make such a thing last. Leave a car in the rain and snow and it will rust. Leave a pool like this to bake in the sun and it will warp. People just need to go beyond simple instruction and innovate themselves. Note: the 'glue' is industrial construction grade. Cheers

would you stop sending me videos there are to many being sent

[Homemadegameguru]

@aberdurant I've sent maybe a total of three video notifications to my friends list in the last three months, the last one on the 2nd of this month. That is why we have friend lists. I get the same type of emails everyday from people in my list - it is how You Tube works. I choose which ones I feel like opening.

If you don't want future video notifications, I'll make sure of it. Cheers

what song is he using?  and Home made guru ive been following you since the water bomb launcher and you were my 1st sub ever =D

[Homemadegameguru]

@SuperAlessiaBros I actually remember that. I think I was the first to leave a comment on your channel too.  Thanks for your support

[Homemadegameguru]

@217rambo actually yea - more like a giant space to chill out in cold water. Let's call it a "cold tub". That is what really matters - cold water on a hot day and room for some friends to chill with beer.
