There was a person I was speaking to recently who was proud of what he
considered to be a very bright move on his part.

He had noticed that the lolly-columns in his basement had been filled with
cement prior to being used. He assumed that the strength of the support
was in the cement, and therefore concluded it was a good idea to try
filling PVC tubes and using those as posts (note-not as sonno-tubes, but
as fully structural support posts).

For what?
