I always loved breaking things, used to get in trouble and now I am paid for it. I am retiring from scrapping and turning my business over to my sons after one year as a full time scrapper. Not many individuals retire from scrapping. I have five farms I am scrapping at the same time and three more I promised to complete this summer. I will spend the next month and a half preparing the farms so my sons can just turn and burn. One is a teacher and the other is going to school, so this summer they will work together to fulfill my obligations. Nothing better than turning your business over to the next generation.
The next adventure is breaking bigger things. Demolition is the next challenge. Consultant, logistics expert, equipment purchasing, and materials specialist is the next calling. No I am not out of scrapping, just a new niche. Sweat deal that I will share when I am able.
I still need scrap prices from both coasts, the Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico. I also need contacts for furious and non-furious metals. We need 20 torches, and two individuals have already contacted me. If any millwrights are lurking, please pm me. I will tell you this project came from the forum and you never know who is lurking. Many individuals question my sanity for doing what I do, but I love challenges and this one presents no risk. So this is my second retirement and should be retiring from my third occupation in one year.
Lessons learned: Treat everyone with respect, stick to your values, believe in your morals, live by your ethics, and do not question Karma. Boomerang theory - what goes around, comes around. I want to motivate others to pursue their calling. I am blessed and lucky and believe others will be blessed as well. And most of all I want to thank the forum and all the members for their ideas, advice, education, and motivation as the next challenge presents itself. Without you this opportunity would not have been a possibility. Thank you.
