    Can you purchase from the yard, too, if a treasure comes along? I'm with eTack: if you can pick up big electrical contactors you can pull out the silver and heavy copper. It adds up fast, and yards are usually too busy to break it down themselves. And the silver contacts are quick and easy to remove with a torch. I'm sure there are other items that would present a win/win to you and the boss.

    I still plan on scrapping every night! this job will help in winter when hubby is laid off for sure.



    First day, oh. my. gawd. It was about 200 degrees in that place and I bailed cardboard and AL all day. I walked out of there dirtier and sweatier than normal, I looked like I took a dirt bath in 2 feet of dirt. I actually stripped off my sewaty clothing in the truck and put dry stuff on hoping nobody noticed!

    I have some sore muscles that haven't been that sore in a while. I thought I was tough but dang, that kicked my butt a little bit today!

    I sweated out the water as fast as I could drink it, never had to use the bathroom it all sweated out so fast.
