Now that is genius!

That's nothing. Our first swimming pool was built without the need for an expensive skip. Think escape from Colditz, and dumping the extracted clay all over the fields behind our house. Or the fact that it was solar powered. Which had been constructed out of old wooden bread trays, which had been painted black, and lined with tin foil.
