I have been picking thru a huge pile of rubble thats come from a two story shopping centre being demolished.
Got about NZ$160 of Copper wire bare bright, mostly earth cables by the look of it.
I have stripped the outer plastic cover off it to get a good price.
Theres about 25Kgs of plastic covered 240V AC cable & telephone cables with 30+ odd pairs in it.
I strip off the outer covers so theres only one layer of plastic on it now, thats got a 66% return in Copper of the full weight.
Theres also a lot of 2 foot long Aluminium extrusion from window frames, its all twisted from the demolition & some has bits if Steel screws/nails/pins in it. But i reckon theres 100 Kgs of that all up.
So i should get about NZ$300 all up, its not far from home, walking distance.
The moneys going into a new ( to me ) car. 2003 Audi, paid $240 for it, it had a flat battery.
Needs 2 upper suspension arms ( i have a 'parts car' to get these off )
two tyres & wheel alignment. ($355)
Fix a cloudy headlight ($30 kit)
Brake hose ( $12.50, i got 4 for NZ$50 from Germany )
My other running cars oil pickup screen must have got clogged & that ruined its engine, 2 weeks ago.
Will have to buy another motor for it. Thats a pity because it was running great beforehand.
Its time to sell some audio gear i dont need, then sell my escrap & use that to fix other cars & sell them.
