ratchet straps and duct tape

I just love this site, but this post really spoke to me, just a snippet, so you can see why:

This crane is surely the flimsiest crane I’ve ever climbed. The metal sections were thin, the mesh floors flexy and various pieces seemingly attached by little more than split pins. A Lego crane would be better. Out near the counterweight we found electrical boxed held shut with ratchet straps and duct tape. Hardly a reassuring sign. Our structural concerns were quickly forgotten with the spectacular views over the best skyline in London. When this building is complete millions will be paid for this view. Tonight, we got it all for free.
