    -Been awhile since last post, just started 2 new jobs! First is working maintenance at the schools a few towns over. First day was today, did a few odds and ends, but tomorrow we start the major project: stripping all the copper pipe for the air conditioning from 1 of the schools. The worst part?: we cant keep it town brings it in and puts the money towards the school. -
    -Anyway, other job is working for a lady who cleans out deceased persons' homes. Great pay, and as we were unloading the truck into the dumpster, I asked if all the metal was going in. She said yes, so I asked if I could have it to help save room in the dumpster for everything else and she said it was all mine!! So got alot of steel, decent amount of aluminum, some brass and copper, and electrical items and cords including an 80s computer, AKAI radio tuner, older Weller soldering gun, and some other goodies.
    -Left all that stuff in my truck since it was past 11 when I got home last night and leaving the school from work today, took a back road home and loaded up with alot of goodies: fridge, folding chairs, computer tower, 2 keyboards, 3 bikes, 2 vacuums, weedwacker, and some other things. It was pretty obvious it was all dragged out of the woods/been sitting on the ground for some time. Fridge was a little heavy by myself trying to load it ontop of all the scrap I already had in the back but I got it.

    This is from the house cleanout: that lockbox is a good 20-25lbs




    This is what I grabbed on the way home today ontop of the previous picture.
