A WOMAN has shared how her husband transformed their back garden when he decided to build a swimming pool using old pallets that had been laying around.
Despite lots of social media trolls raising their doubts and saying it would be a complete flop, the couple have had the last laugh, as they recently unveiled the results – leaving their critics speechless.

TikTok user Kayla Harrison, who runs her social media account alongside her DIY-loving hubby under the name @organizedhomeandlife, revealed her man had had a bright idea.
Alongside a video of him getting to work on the project, which has now racked up 68 million views, she wrote: “My husband decided to build a pool.”
The footage captured him creating a space for the pool, and then marking it out with the pallets.
Next, he drilled and secured them into place, before putting in a waterproof sheet.
Kayla then asked her over 5 million TikTok followers if they thought the palette project would work – and the responses made for tough reading.
One person blasted the idea and commented: “Yes, but when it fails (which it will), it will flood the entire neighbourhood.”
A second said: “Nope, don’t do it!” As another interjected: “Of course it will fail.”
While a fourth wrote: “100% good effort but enjoy the cleanup. It’s going to look like an old Batman episode, SMASH, BOOM, POW, CRASH.”
However, Kayla and her hubby let the project do the talking for them when they showed the results of his alfresco renovation.
In a separate video, which showed even more of the building process, Kayla then wrote: “Here’s how it turned out! Is it what you expected?”
She added: “It’s here, the moment you’ve all been waiting for.”
She then showed the large pool area, complete with stylish painted grey pallets, and even a little step ladder to get in.

Once again, lots of people commented on the video – only this time they were much more complimentary.
One said: “I can honestly say I thought it was going to fail. I admit I was wrong. Looks great.”
A second said: “So many people hated on this and it turned out amazing.
“Y’all did a great job on this and saved a lot of money.”
