    Thumbs up Great satruday morning

    Was going to my partners house to pick up some metal he had in his garage. Ran into to delivery men for GE. I pulled up and asked them if they had any old appliances they wanted to get rid of. The guys said take 'em all. Gave us 2 washers, 2 stoves and a dryer. Easy $100 at the yard and stripped all the brass fittings and wire off too. Remember it doesnt hurt to ask. The worst that can happen is they say no.

    Florida is a huge state , Develop territory - apartment complexes - shopping malls - trash day - Construction dumpsters -
    visit often you will find . Fortunately and unfortunately dumpsters are key , once you are seen as safe , ( don't exhibit any behavior that seems like you will get hurt ) and sue them .
    Don't touch or look at any thing not in a dumpster .
    Wile I don't recommend this to others per say . But - I generally don't ask . 97% of the time no issue & before long there used to me.
    3% of the time you will get stopped & you can not come back . But heck you generally can keep what you found till expulsion
    still thats just me
