This makes me think of when I worked in Idaho. My boss make quick fixes on equipment with duct tape, sprinkler marking flags (instead of bailing wire), and PVC piping.
My second favorite was the 4" PVC duct taped to the handle of a mini trencher to to push out on the tension cable instead of actually adjusting it.
My most favorite was the time he built a cold frame, full size mind you, out of PVC sprinkler pipe. It lasted about 48 hours. I can't remember if it rained or the wind blew, but it was like the second little pigs house after the wolf came knocking. How can you keep a straight face?
For any of you Idaho guys, he was not from Idaho.
