4 tons of scrap metal being removed from my yard. - Page 3

You didn't comment with respect. I don't see you being respectful either. I was taught that if no one shows me respect I shouldn't give it. Also, you shouldn't be trying to be mother hen to someone you don't know. You shouldn't go around and say that a complete stranger should respect you. If none is given then none will be given back. What comes around goes around. I didn't say that anyone's opinion was wrong. Where is that stated? I don't see it. SO don't go assuming things like that. Assuming is disrespectful. I AM A FREEKING PERSON I MAKE MISTATES. Don't act like you are all Mrs. Perfect now that is disrespectful also. You also think that the state of Maine follows the regulations on everything considering that most of the smaller schools are made out of old farm houses and stuck in the past about 20+ years ago. Most schools still have 80's school books. Sorry that Maine isn't the best state didn't choose to live in it.

On the scrap metal side it had to be removed is because of snow. The weather is starting to get cold and in Central Maine that is not a good sign along with having snow on Mt. Katahdin already. Not because someone complained. We don't get any complaints about the yard or anything considering its in the middle of no where surrounded by trees so the public cant see it unless on my property. If they had a problem the town wouldn't of issued a junk yard permit for 5 years straight.

im sure it was, my belief that times for yards like these they try to get every buck they can. usually you can call for a roll off or my yard has a truck and a mag crane attached, yes you will get less money for pickup but you will get something back but as i said during these times.. 30...60 a gross ton will not get you squat... so sorry bout the jerks that sabotage your vehicle, not cool at all.. on another note maby try this next time while driving arround if you find another scrapper with a truck/trailer you may see if you can call them and split it for them to haul. i just gave a guy a hole trailer load for free so i can make space for kids b day party. helped them out.. helped me out..

Now thats what im talking about.. 30 bucks per gross ton, 4 tons... vs 700 to get it gone with no fam help... main fact you needed it gone for what ever reason plus you got a good contact to boot... yep.. good job. bonus... you didnt have to load it again..

im going out on a limb here but i guessing you can play your music as loud as you want and no one to tick off.. lol.

Right, all it mattered to us is that it left before the snow flies... In Central Maine the snow can fly at any time in August... So its better then it sitting in the snow and rusting away.. and no one get money...

Yeah, I could the only ones that I tick off are the people in my house haha...

Second, you are a new poster, *******. Well then don't come here all ''I'm a tough girl'' and in the same breath ''but don't question my opinions or I'm gonna throw a hissy fit.''
I have children older than you that show more respect for their elders than you do.

And I highly doubt the way you type is ''how they teach it in school.'' It wasn't how I was taught and it wasn't how MY kids were taught. LAst I knew, all states followed the same standards.

Now, if you would like to discuss your 4 tons of scrap that just ''had'' to be removed, I will gladly join the discussion. Oh, BTW, just WHY did it have to be removed? Did someone complain?

This is rather uncalled for. as a long time member and a person of significant age to have grown children as you say with respect I would presume your response would have more wisdom than criticism of this magnitude. She has a right to post as you have a right to read and respond or not respond. I agree with her on her 9:17 pm post, and as it is my free right with respect to you is we are not your children nor raised by you and everyone on this earth is an individual not bound by one's or others standards.

Thank you therecycleguy!

I'm sure I have made a error or two in my first couple of post and make errors more frequently than I care to admit. Anyone that hasn't made their share of mistakes, probably not making enough of a effort to start with. When I was 18, I really didn't think about how I spoke, wrote or communicated. I learned it does matter though, making a good first impression starts having a higher priory, after learning how infrequent opportunities occur. All types of communications starts with mutual respect for everyone, we don't need to agree, we should try to respect each other. Especially true if you think you need to teach someone that may not be as knowing as you or me!

Scrapbabe - Reading this thread, I can't help but think things didn't go as you had hoped they would have. If that is the case, don;t spend much time on the "would of's or the should of's", we learn from our mistake. Spend your time on a better plan, what can work for your situation, no one "walks in your shoes", but you. Make realistic plans and then work those plans to your satisfaction.

Yeah things didn't go as planned for me but those plans never were made by me. People expected things out of me and that's what hurt me the most. Now that I'm on my own I make plans for myself and I make myself happy with my plans. Not everyone is gonna know what happened to me or understand and I know that. Its one thing to not to admit to faults its another to admit to them and I do and I take full responsibility. That's one thing that I won't ever change about myself. That's why I own a business it was something I choose to do and its something that I love to do. Scraping and hard work are things that I know I can always fall back on.

i hope you took all the copper wire and the computer parts...thats where the money is and doesnt take a lot of room

8000 lbs. of steel around here is only $180 you did good to get rid of it, the best you could...

if thats true and im not saying it isnt. all copper is one grade which is low grade i would file a legal action against them. may classify as price gouging or something.

We have #1 copper, #2 copper,and if you really want to get technical we have light copper, but it really depends on the yard itself lol.

Nice pile of scrap
