Good first day, turned around an bought myself some new tools.
Just starting into scrap metal!
Nice! Hope to be doing that soon myself!
Very cool! Great start!!!
Well ya put me to shame on copper, wish I had that much, you're off to a great start!
I won't post what I made today I don't wanna make anyone feel bad hahah.... I had 5k lbs of shearing and sheet metal, 450 lbs of lead and a small mess of copper, insulated wire, aluminum, and a load of core items (engines, transmissions, torque converters, steering pumps)..... I had an 8' bed full of non ferrous, a 12' single axle trailer of core items, and a 24' gooseneck trailer load of steel. All hauled in and sold off by 2 pm and picked up another car tonight to haul in first thing in morning, then to pickup another car after that, then tomorrow evening will load both trailers again for Wednesday. I love my job :D
Yeah blue man i need to come up north alittle lol.
Stay where you're at, I need the work LOL..... Look harder buddy.... replied to your PM, maybe more info there.... good luck!
Yeah dont worry man thats to far for me to travel.but before long i will be hitting indiana up for some scrap.Because thats where i repoed and know where all kind of stuff is on them back roads up there.
stripping copper makes me happy lol
Nice first day Seaton, also like the idea you reinvested some $$$ into some tools. They are the second best money maker, the first is the old threads on here.
wish copper was going for that around me! I got about 150 lbs :)
Probably not that high now since the thread was started over 2 years ago. ;)
Well, that was 2 years ago,,,,Quote:
