    I know there's a lot of bartering that goes on but typically a lot (or most) of say vehicle/machinery repair is done by a per hour labor charge. But when it comes to scrap, especially in a rural setting, the scrap is supposed to pay a guy for doing the job (even if it adds up to $3 an hour labor according to P76's math). I may not mind dinking around in my garage watching tv while I scrap a bit and maybe making $3 an hour but what I'm doing is nothing in comparison to the work P76 did taking that rig down and apart and no where as dangerous or have potentially liability issues (such as the potential fire risk he faced). I think those guys down Pnut's way are selling themselves short.

    Either that or its Hobson's Choice
