People throw away the darndest things. I'd had seen this cart next to the trash can at work for several weeks. It can't be trash, someone must have left it there and not returned yet. Maybe it belongs to set dressing, or the property department, I thought. But I asked everyone. Even the stage manager did not know where it came from. My last day of work I asked one more time and wouldn't you know it. It was up for grabs. But how was I going to get it up and into the back of my pickup truck. 4 men will be needed to lift this thing and everyone has gone home. One drivers was out back and offered his help. We can roll it up onto the lift gate of his 5 ton truck and then roll it right into my truck. And so we did. A couple of tie downs to secure it and all was done. But what will I do with it ?
I seem to be in this situation a lot. I have brought home more things with the idea that it will make for a really cool thing only to get pissed off later and take it out front to the curb. It never seems to sit for very long at the curb. I live on a some what busy street and neighbors, strangers, by passers have all grabbed something from my curb spot. Maybe some day I will be at someones house and see something that I have thrown out.
Some large Terra Cotta planter pots would look great on this. And the ability to roll it around your patio with ease makes it all the more better. It reminds me of something you might see on the loading dock of an old fruit packing plant, or around the yard of and old railroad stop. There is a cool type of connector on either end giving one the ability to connect several carts together. But then what do you pull it with. A friend stops by and says it may have lived it's life on some studio lot transferring tools from stage to stage. Being pulled by some small tractor thing.
For now it will sit on the patio until I get tired of looking at it, or moving it around, or pissed off at all the junk I have once again brought home and send it to the curb.
