to be Frank
A few years back when i worked on building sites there was this old chap by the name of Frank . He was a nice enough bloke a pipe fitter if i recall correctly.

One day i went over to the chopsaw to cut a few legnths of studding Frank was there cutting some lengths of Unistrut*. I noticed he was putting them into his old sports bag.

"That must make it easier to carry them across the site" I said , pointing to his bag. "These ? Oh no im taking them home for a little project."
I assumed he was making some shelves for the garage or something similar as thats all you could use it for around the home.

"Im making a entertainment cabinet , I got some chipboard from the last job"

I can only immagine the uglyness in his front room unistrut is not pretty but if nothing else at least its sturdy.

Frank was a bit of a legend on the site

* Unistrut is a C sectioned bar with slots cut into it . Normally it is used to support pipes cableways etc . Imaging some industrial sized mechano and you have the idea. Its quite heavy due to the thickness of the steel .
