    Actually it's on Hwy 20 somewhere between Grass Valley and where it meets Interstate 80. Similar looking country.

    First of let me tell you guys it pays to be persistent and followup, thursday morning I got a call scrap metal call (from a card i put on a diner peg board in my home town) when I was on the freeway headed down to the bay area for a two day electrical job. I told the gentleman on the phone that i could pick it up Sat morning since I was headed out of town and would call Friday night to confirm i was back in town and get his address and set a time on sat.....Fri comes and I call but get a answering machine, I leave a message saying "I would be able to show up sat morning just give me a call and let me know "....Fri. no call, Sat comes and no call...around 10. A.M I decide it would be ok to call and leave another message saying "Just calling to see if you still need the metal hauled off , if so just let me know and we can set another day, thank you"...monday night I get a call and set up a time this morning , guys house is three blocks away from mine, I picked up a load of metal that took about 20 min to load after digging through a pile of trash on the side of shed...scrap yard is 5 min away and made $65 bucks:



    This may have also opened up another Job opportunity for me,Asked if the guy ever thought of getting the trash hauled off...he asked how much it would cost...told him around $200 ( 1 1/2 loads in my truck,dump fees and gas fess included) for me and my scrap helper(a.k.a Girlfriend) to get it loaded and get the area cleaned up,......told him to keep my card and think about it....
