    Made my second run on Friday...



    #480 shred and got to park about 15 feet from an operating crane magnet. I was praying he saw me park there!

    I know it's nothing compared to most of your guys loads but I'm breaking into this slowly. I don't have a big truck nor much room to stage things. Plus I need to keep the wife happy! She'll have a fit if it starts looking like a private scrap yard here. lol!



    Saw this guy and his wife parked by the non-ferrous bldg - tons of stuffed animals and a mattress on the ladder rack. He was cutting cable in lengths( guessing in prep to strip them) off a wooden spool. Very surprised the yard was letting him prep in the parking lot.


    Cut open the degaussing cables from a monitor.... Just over .5# in copper! That's incentive! Would this be #1 copper? My yard lists BB, #1 & #2.
