    I finally made a run to the yard today. It was pretty quiet. I was the only customer / vendor there. The small scale guys were great to deal with and it was a smooth process. Was hoping to average 1.00$ / lb. between the copper, ali, and everything else but it averaged to .91/lb. Still ... not terrible.

    Gotta see how everything plays out over the next month, but i'm strongly considering buying a motorized wire stripping machine with the proceeds from this trip.



    Maybe a Stripmeister and then add my own motor ? Haven't quite figured that part out yet.
