Patriot,

Good luck! You've got all the skills and the knowledge to deal with this new challenge. Might have to hire a guy or two to help, but that shouldn't be a big deal. As I have said to others, I hope you make a sockful of money on this!

I smell another very interesting thread coming up!!

Jon.

Thanks Saw. You have been a valuable asset to my adventures. This will be a one man job, all on the same floor and plenty of time to finish. It is close to home and they already gave me a key to the facility to allow freedom of movement. This weekend a buddy and I will be taking our dogs and guns into the facility to remove raccoons. In addition to a challenge, this project will provide entertainment. As far as money, if I can pay for beer, food, dog food (this is a dog food plant) and heat above of costs, I will be well ahead of the population listening to the State of the Union Address tonight.

This is not a political statement. No bragging, just fact. Walter Brennan?

I never put much serious thought to the business and occupation of scraping until the last four years. Here at SMF one of the many advantages, is the perspective and the experiences of scraper's not just here in this country, but literally around the world. It was here, that I was reminded of my life on a ranch and a farm. How hard of a life it is, but also how rewarding, honorable and decent life it is. I also remember every ranch and farm I have ever been on has a large scrap pile. The American family farm is never going to be as it once was, but like our cities there's piles of scrap on those old farms and ranch's.
