birdbath supports, holding up clotheslines, supports for above ground feed
lines, fence posts, temporary supports(horizontal) for building antennas,  paint
stands, pipe racks (great for organizing small quantities of various sizes of
tubing/pipe between cross braces or long pieces down the length of the tower),
add a couple boards for low work benchs, tent/tarp poles... lots of things you
can do with bad sections of tower.
