Who makes someone wait till people are working on Monday.. :mad:
Taking down old fence is a major job, even if you have the right equipment. Even with a fence post puller on a skid steer, wire roller with hand crank, fencing trailer, and a market for used posts I would have to charge to do someone else's dirty work. And if the posts are dimple t-posts they are not worth anything more than scrap around here. Just a thought.
Could be they are out of town or having family over for Easter. If that's the case they shouldn't have posted on a Friday.
I can tell you right now, Patriot knows what he's talking about. I would either charge or pass on the whole thing.
Not that I would want to take down that whole fence down but I have sold crusty rolls of rusty barb wire to artists.
make sure your yard will even take the wire. out here they pay less than shred for it.
Ancient thread is ancient, but the point still stands. The wire likely isn't worth much, but the T-Posts.... if you can get them in good shape, they bring good money in a lot of farm auctions
reminds me of a guy who advertised server racks for sale.
i took a chance & contacted him on Monday to ask about scrap metal & ewaste.
he replied the next day: says his company is moving premises & they have 2 old safes(dont know how old) and some server racks that need to be removed from the premises.
he then tries to be clever and says if he allows me to remove it, it wont be for free since there quite a bit of weight in those safes, which will mean a considerable payout at the scrap yard s i will have to pay him something for it.
he then says that of course the concrete will have to be removed from the safes.
i told him that i will leave it up to him to think about some arrangement thats sensible & suitable to both of us.
im waiting to see what he says if & when he gets back to me.
those safes are a pain to remove and with out removing the concrete from them, no scrap yard will take it.
so even if that guy says i can have it all for free, i wont accept the job bcos i would need to be paid to remove it bcos its just not worth it.
