    also another thing I would like to add is if you are brand new to scrap and decide you want to do it yourself if you want to know what to look for go around to the scrap yards and ask if you can see all the different things that they buy and how they grade everything. Copper and brass might be worth more per pound than most other things but I've made way more money doing high volumes of steel and aluminum than I ever will with copper alone.

    This paper mill in Oregon is either due to be decommissioned or already has been. There was no date in the article Blue Heron Paper Mill Decommissioning - Akana

    Nice contract if you could get one like it.

    If that is similar to the type of job it is you really want someone with torching/equipment experience on the ground with you. Not saying your job looks like that but trying to tear that one down with no experience is a good way to end up hurt, or worse. even if the building isn't coming down just the fumes alone could be pretty toxic if you don't know what your cutting into.
