    A great week

    Here goes my first post in this section
    Had a good week



    Monday i got to take all i wanted from an old house, got a pickup bed full. Mostly light iron, but 10 electric motors, a 6ft plow and bunches of old stuff.
    Monday night i loaded up all my saved up alum, and #1 steel. Piled in the motors.
    Tuesday morning went into yard payday almost 400 bucks. Paid my brother for his contributions (alum)
    Wednesday afternoon, i headed over to a guys house where he had a bunch of steel pipe 3" around and almost 40 ft long. Chopped it to fit in my bed. Then i headed across the street to a clean out property(where the street sweeper is) to break down a large trailer (14ft long). It had 2 aluminum I beams with large axles at each end. Several hours removing bolts to get it all apart.
    Brought it home, cleaned the alum and loaded the truck up with pipe, axles, alum I beams and batteries.
    thursday, went into yard got $200, i was surprised when they paid .60c/lb for the painted alum i beams.
    Today i got a call about the 6 foot plow i posted on CL, sold it and a 6 ft plow blade i had saved cause it was like new for $160. Then i got a call about a greyhound bus 60's vintage, mine if i want it. Still figuring that one out


    There you go, just wanted to share since i like reading this section so much
