post-modernist pylons - perhaps

Well only on here could i reply with 4 chopped down pylons waiting for reconstruction into legs of a shed - does that mean these are potential post-modernist pylons?!
Also you'll be pleased to know my new stairs for the shed are made in part from a 5th pylon that was deconstructed for re-use.
What i really like is that these pylons come from field that is called pylon field, but now it has no pylons yet we still call it pylon field, which makes no sense to anyone new when you say - im off to pylon field -you know the field that had the pylons but doesnt anymore.
When they were taking them down i met one of the men working for the elec board who on seeing me driving a tractor after working in the field, decided i might be a good catch - farmers daughter, some acres, could be well off and no obvious sign of a wedding ring, asked if i was married, because if not he would be interested and that he had a few acres in ireland and wouldnt that be good? I said thanks for the offer it sounds ok but i was quite happy here, so he offered me the pylons as a goodwill gesture instead because he wasnt really meant to. Fair deal i say.
