There's a saying around here that everyone is poor after Christmas. It's generally slim pickins through the winter. What i usually do is keep a few repair projects around for this time of year to keep me busy. I get them all good to go for when things open back up in the spring.



I was talking with one of the office workers at the scrapyard a few months ago. We were discussing scrap prices here in Maine as compared to out of state. The office worker's opinion was that there are quite a few people getting back into scrapping because they don't have anything else to do. The yards seem to be taking a pretty wide margin simply because they can. Folks are hard up for money.
