New to the Scrap world

Hello,

Thought I'd drop a post introducing myself. My name is Chris, and like a couple other folks I've noticed while lurking about the forums and absorbing all this wonderful information I'm on the coast of NC. Well..more like off the coast of NC. Sandbars great places to live. :cool:

Anyhow, new to the scrap world, but looking to change that. I spend most of my time running my own internet business, and soon to be spending some of that extra time scrapping. I like to stay busy, and to get the hell out from behind this monitor. lol.

I would like to say a big thanks to all who post on this Forum. It has to be one of the best I've come across for any topic. Helpful, tons of information, and seem to be quality folks. No trolls or twits. So thank you for all that!

I'm interested in all metal scrapping and ewaste. Never fear though, I've been doing quite the amount of research and have already looked into where I can drop my monitor and tv tubes. So don't worry, this scrapper won't be busting tubes up, releasing freon (when I do finally get my hands on ac equip), or any other silly nonsense. Give yourselves a round of applause, for having beaten into my head that doing such is foolish. Plus, I highly dislike fines or running afoul of the law.

I've babbled enough and if you read through all this, I salute you sir or madam! I look forward to learning more from you folks, and doing my own part to help the ones who come after me.

Cool intro Chris :)

welcome Chris. well, you have read enough to avoid being sent back to the search feature ;-) I am not new to scrappin but am to this forum. There does seem to be a very good group of people here. and then again, there seem to be a few of those... THAT GUY's HA! Good luck and God Bless, BroJer

Welcome to the forum Mr. Lot and thanks for some background. As you have already seen, lot's going on around here...good luck.

Welcome to the forum. So which sandbar are you living on or is it just a low tide thing? By the way I live in coastal NC as well as several others up and down the coast. I am a retired Marine living in Jacksonville. Mike.

Welcome to the forum Sir. Love the name, wish I had thought of that one. Well I hope you do scrap-a-lot, good luck and I'll be looking forward to your post.

welcome after reading your inrto i look forward to hearing more from you.sounds like you are from down east...well how far from alantic beach are you?sure is gettin to be quite a few of us here from eastern nc.

Ha! Thanks for the welcome folks!

I call KDH home. Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, Nags Head..etc. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many folks along coastal NC. Normally I have to explain the whole sandbar thing. Heh. In regards to Atlantic Beach, not very far at all if I recall right.

If near by I'm always willing to bust out the grill an cooler. Burgers and beer always a good thing.

Made the mistake of taking the wife with me on a trip through a neighborhood. She found 3 tvs and a dishwasher someone was throwing out. So for the last 2 hours it's been.."So uh, babe..when you gonna catch up?" :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Alright time to dismantle the findings for the trip to the yard tomorrow. Good weekend to you all, and thank you again for the warm welcome.

Welcome. Read as much as you can. The more reading you do, the more $$$$ you will make. Don't forget to ask questions when that time arrives.
