That was pretty awesome. Thank you for sharing it!
Pretty neat....I wonder how people on here are going to try it now.
Sunroof for my car!
Dark corner of the shed is going to be light by the weekend.
Very cool.
Now I know how to light my metal shed in the backyard, too!!

just becareful about freezing.
That is pretty cool. I wonder if you could fill it with a water/alcohol mixture to keep it from freezing in the cold states. I think they add bleach so it doesn't get moldy on the inside.
Definitely cheap to replace!

I'd try to see if it works with just cheap vodka first. My reasoning is that a friend of mine got caught stealing his dads vodka, kept in the freezer, because there were chunks of ice in it. He had been refilling it with water.
a little anti-freeze would tint it, I'd think.
I figured the bleach was to diffuse the light.
The bleach is to sterilize the water and deter algae
thats pretty awesome... wonder how long it took before they figured out the bit of bleach and the black film canister bit... having been in a few of these shacks I can def understand its merit... seems great for some of us GRMers lol
If those are regular soda bottles, imagine how bright a liter bottle would be. Edit: nevermind, I see they are liter bottles now.
He is definitely grassroots to the core, that's awesome how he is helping his community.
use a two litre bottle?
It's not a new idea. Tall ships used to use glass prisms mounted into the deck to provide light belowdecks
TWO LITRES?!! You'll be blind! 
You'll have to wear sunglasses inside!
love it...just posted to google+
could also be those weird 1.5L bottles they seem to love to sell in Central America these days... but that isn't important really lol
Chandelier.
That is truly amazing.
I remember hearing a while back that the california electricity shortage would cease if every household removed one bulb (that was on most of the time).
You could replace that bulb with a bottle.
Too bad we dont live in shacks, people dont want to go tearing into their roofs.
thats neat!
I'll get you some light. Hold on. Almost done.
You'll need to log in to post.
