Had a productive scrap walk today. When It's sunny out, I head out with some trash bags and pick up cans, metal bits, anything interesting. I found a copper pipe that was several feet long and a ton of insulated wire in a dirt lot that trucks pull over onto. Going on, I grabbed three CVS bags full of metal trash from the roadsides, and then came across a house with about ten bulky bags in the driveway.
Went home and came back in the CRV. There were tools, ropes, chains, three heavy new pallets of what looks like Italian tile, toys and misc building materials that were new in their containers.
Most of the toys I cleaned, and gave to my niece for her baby. One item was a broken electronic keyboard for children, which I promptly dismantled; it yielded a nice mylar, a board, wires, the usual. I plucked off the keys for my MIL's crafting room (the keys were in the shape of lambs and chicks and kittens).
Tools: a very nice hacksaw and a shrubbery lopper. I also found about fifty feet of garden hoses. I'll pull off the brass fittings on those with my new hacksaw.
Not sure what to do with the tiles: either CL, or give them to Habitat's ReStore.
I'm having a fun evening pulling things apart and sorting!
