    Finally got a good spot!

    Today a friend hooked me up with the mother load. There is an eighty's model Diablo. A pickup bed trailer. Another frame for a pickup bed trailer. I accidently loaded some of the 2" pipe i was told later was the only thing he wanted left. But since the load was loaded and strapped before he told me he said dont worry about it just leave the rest. I got a washing machine. Cast Iron sink. A butt load of aluminum. Everything from a solid aluminum grill to a lawn mower engine, windows all kinds of aluminum. And tons and tons of weight. With a small amount of copper. Then i found out later they may have a mobile home that i may be able to scrap as well. I went in and looked still has all the appliances minus washer dryer. And the condensing unit has been removed. Copper lines and furnace w/coil still in place. All in all ive been looking for a place with some weight and more than one load worth of goodies. I hauled out approximately 2000 pounds on my flat bed tonight.

    Nice find. Thing is to find the next one before you are even done with this load.

    same thing I was thinking, if it is, that'll be worth a few bucks.
