rain

From the submitter:

My neighbor's contraption to keep the rain off you when going into the basement

from A Home Inspector's Nightmare Series

It's a modified truck cap turned into a motorcycle shelter, because using actual building materials would be too simple and make too much sense.

"We fixed the rain drain of our tent using small water bottles."

It helps if you drink a lot of water to begin with. Dehydrated? Then you're outta luck!
