    There is nothing for free, There's a old saying "there is no free lunch", a true statement. If you analyse even the simplest requirements of the task's need to accomplish any job, there are cost and most of the time "hidden cost".



    The only free steel I can think of: As I'm going into the scrap yard, someone was to toss a one pound bar of steel onto my trailer load of steel, that yard was so nice to unload my steel for me and let's say they paid me $0.03 a pound for all of my steel. Then and only then would that one pound bar of steel that was tossed onto my trailer be free steel. My experience very little "free" anything comes my way!

    I have said: I didn't pay for that, but when I rethink it, I did but just wasn't thinking it through.
