    More from the same area, motors etc.. Pics :)

    This Kew Hard Rubbish has been good to me.

    (I am limited as I drive a car, so drive past all the appliances except computers and microwaves.)

    - History - I once had a Boss that was a complete A - Hole!! I mean this guy was a Psycho with wild mood swings etc... Anyway, he once said to me - in relation to sales - "drive a different road, go home a different way, you never know what you will stumble across"

    We, hate to say it but the F &% ker was right

    So I took a different rd home from work and here's what I see



    MOTORS!

    There are 6 in all, they are 10 pounders plus the heavy steel blower housings. the guy who lived at the house was obviously a HeVac tech, so slipped a flyer in the mail box for good measure

    Also grabbed a street light, these are great, about 30 - 40lb all up, and a mix of cast ally, with some gold laced boards in the control head, and extruded ally brackets, and some beefy stainless screws etc.. Oh, and a pile of ally cookware.



    This is the third one I have grabbed, someone hits a pole, the light smashes on the ground, the city council replace the pole and light and leave the old bits there for weeks...thats my Cue!!


    ..and here's it all loaded with some microwaves from the other night, ready to go over to the scrapping shed.





    Cheers!

    Adam.
