    I am a part-time scrapper.

    9 inside except the basement where there's a bunch of boxes that haven't been opened. Outside an 8 cause I need to put some sod down still.

    It's pretty clean, except the basement where we haven't fully un-packed even though it's been over a year since we bought our house. I don't leave scrap on my truck overnight and never more than 24 hours in my back yard or garage. The only thing I don't sell right away is brass and copper and I keep it organized in my garage.

    I'm not sure how you can afford to keep the scrap out of your back yard and garage. Are you really close to a scrap yard and always have enough to justify the trip?

    Actually yes several and one that's open late on weekends. I try to pickup a full load anytime I am out looking for scrap. My last 980LB load I got in a matter of 45 minutes no joke - mostly cause it took so long to load, 1 stove and a BUNCH of light fixtures, it filled my little Dakota up and I went straight to the scrapyard with it - stripped out the copper from the stove at the yard.

    I was going to update - this weekend is an exception. I broke my rule I have had scrap in the back yard for almost 3 days now cause I am just beat LOL and my house inside is now a 6. LOL
