I am working just as hard, just not making money.
    Not to hijack too bad but my yard I frequent a lot says they are just going to stockpile till prices come around. He opened up a few more acres of woods and is bringing in stone for driveways. He has already stacked as hi as he can on the non ferrous piles and when the price hits his magic # he'll be hauling by the semi load. He has a rather large trash and roll off service that pays the bills.
