    How to Break down a Duplex Apartment

    As some of you may know I make my living as a General Contractor. When this contest came about I thought.. "Let's think outside of the box shall we!"
    This thread will take you through the current apartment I am rehabbing and show you all of the scrap opportunities I am able to come across, break down, and scrap!

    Because each and every apartment is different in its needs, some things stay or are not torn out. So I will be showcasing all of the items that this particular apartment offered me to scrap. In my pictures of breakdowns you get pictures of the good stuff (scrap) and also the waste. Any plastic or rubber is thrown out.

    ***We are only able to upload 10 pictures per post and as per the rules, only this initial postings "Likes" will be counted. So if you are so inclined, please thank whatever posts you like, but also be sure to post a "Thanks" on this initial Posting pretty please.****


    Lets Start with the Bathroom and hunt for Opportunities:
    Bath Fan- Dead and Outdated


    Bath Fan Pulled and Broken Down: You have an electric motor, steel, #2 copper wire, and an all aluminum housing on this one. Whoot!


    Bathroom Sink:


    Bathroom Sink After: Sink is cleaned and saved You get brass fittings, brass and aluminum faucet parts, copper, Brass valves, Brass pop-up. Lots of goodies here.


    Shower Rod:


    Shower Rod After: Aluminum Rod and Steel end cups


    Bathroom "Threshold"


    Bathroom Threshold Pulled: Nails go into a steel bucket, Threshold is aluminum.


    Toilet Paper Holder:




    Toilet Paper Holder Pulled: Aluminum Brackets
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
