is a programme presented as an individual episode within its series. The show adopts a light‑hearted format, focusing on inventive projects and community‑driven events, and it fits comfortably into the episode‑based genre. In this particular instalment, brothers‑in‑law Brett Raymer and Wayde King take centre stage as they set about converting an out‑of‑use photo booth into a fully functional aquarium. Their undertaking is designed specifically for the Las Vegas First Friday street fair, turning a forgotten piece of street furniture into a vibrant aquatic display. The duo’s effort centres on repurposing the cramped, glass‑walled booth, fitting it with water‑tight tanks and appropriate filtration to house marine life. By reimagining the space, they create a miniature underwater world that sits neatly amid the bustling fairground, offering visitors an unexpected glimpse of aquatic scenery in an urban setting. When the transformation is complete, the newly minted aquarium becomes a highlight of the First Friday event, showcasing the brothers‑in‑law’s creativity and collaborative spirit. Their work demonstrates how a simple, abandoned structure can be reinvented to add colour and interest to a community celebration.
