    First big scrap operation

    I've seen many threads on here about people scrapping houses out, and I'd like to share my experience.

    My uncles house is being bought up by the gov for some area they want and they gave him the ok to take anything and everything out of it, and theyll tear the remaining down

    My uncle is taking the pipe in for himself for a little extra $, and I'm helping him move and he said I could have anything else I wanted.


    My plan is a complete gut and figure out what I can do. Ill wait till they get all their stuff out than start taking out stuff

    I want to pull the larger stuff first like appliances if there are any, hot water heater, a/c unit.



    Than ill go through and smash the plugs and outlets out and trace the wires and cut and pull those out.

    Than ill smash open around light fixtures, pull those, and trace those wires out.

    Than ill go around taking any scrap laying around / stuff I can sell.

    Anyone know anything that would sell fast out of a home like that? I believe its 3 bed 2 bath with a big garage.

    Probably the garage door would sell / scrap
    A/C unit resale since it works

    Can't wait to do this and I'll post pictures + How much money I make and how many hours It takes to give everyone a good idea if its worth it.

    Will probably start end of this month.
