    You Need What Picked Up???

    You never know what is on the other end of that phone ringing...That's one of the things I love about my job.

    Take a guess what's being reeled in here...

    That it is...Came from the county morgue. Wasn't cooling so well so they ordered another and this one needed to go.

    Over 6 ft tall x about 8 ft long and just over 3 ft deep, weighs over 1500 pounds.

    Doubt that it will make it to the scrap yard, I should be able to find a buyer.

    Shout out to my Rep (Bohemian Lush) at the scrap yard for the lead.

    That would give me a chill down my spine scrapping that, all the people's bodies that laid in there. It would give me the creeps. But it'd be a nice payday.

    KZ, I am sure that are a bunch of folks out there just dying to buy that thing

    Can we put handles on it and ship it to Sirscrapalotofscoobydoobydo? Talk about a traveling cooler

    if its all s/steel then even if u dont get a buyer you can still make decent money out of it just by scrapping it.

    Did you make sure it was empty before you loaded it?
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Most certainly, right after I put a "Tater Sized Cooler" on it!

    Took a peek in there and all clear of previous customers.

    They had a couple of guys lined for the job but after they scoped it out they were never heard from again.

    Maybe even a cold smoker...bacon!

    I made a smoker out of a proofer from a bakery. I rewired it with bigger heating elements and a new thermostat...it worked great.
