    ill try to shorten this anyone interested can read my other post as i tend to ramble. i to started by accident, tearing down a house last year and took in the pipes from the bathroom the rest is history. we mainly do cars and i get them from several places, wrecker services, bailbondsmen, repo guys, and individuals. i get fire extinguishers from three different companies, not looking for anymore at the moment because the cars seem plentiful but we still take all we can get from the companies we already use. we still get a few computers now and then, we got 3 last week probably have 100 or so stacked up probably do them in the spring. so far in a little over a year 300 plus cars, 1000s of extinguishers and i sold $2000plus to easy early this year. we no longer do cleanups tho when we see a washer or dryer when we buy a car we always make a $5 offer. we have hired a guy to pull core parts and ebay items off of cars, he also covers when we have to work at our real jobs. eventually we want to get into appliances again probably monday pickups, im guessing appliances are weekend purchases, as well as computers a little more, maybe a pull it yard, a used tire business, we have so many ideas but notenough hours. its hard to find people to hire that have basic mechanical skills that you can trust with your money. future dream purchases include the rolloff trailers from texas pride, another 4x4 cummins, hydraulic tilt car hauler, a shop with a lift or two and electric hoists. the hard part is growing without getting overwhelmed. we try to balance growth out by taking a little a time. anyway short as i could make it LOTS more details but thats the compressed version
