Summer in Spain often means sun, beach and pools. But for those working under the blazing sun, keeping cool is a challenge. Some bricklayers in Murcia found a clever solution…

 

Using the bucket of a compact loader, normally used for construction, the workers filled it with cold water and created their own improvised pool. The video, shared on TikTok (@manolito6899), has already been watched more than 36,000 times, showing the team taking refreshing dips during their breaks.

 

The clip has left viewers amused and impressed. “This is brilliant! Not everyone would think of turning a loader into a pool, but they’ve made it work and had a laugh at the same time,” one user commented.

 

Of course, not all summer solutions require construction equipment. Simple tricks like chilling bedsheets in the fridge, using a neck fan, enjoying homemade ice cream or joining a water balloon fight can all help beat the heat. The classic “manguerazo,” a playful hose-down from a garden hose, still remains a favourite for families and friends alike.

 

But the Murcia bricklayers prove that a little creativity, and a sense of humour, can turn even the hottest workday into something a bit more enjoyable.
