    Neighbor ID'd it as a transformer from the electric company. That thing on the poles and submerged in oil. What you see in the picture came to:

    Iron: 246 pounds
    Aluminum windings: 4 pounds
    Copper windings: 11 pounds



    Some of the copper is coated, so it'll probably be #2. Most of it is thick enough to be #1.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    At least it'd thin the appropriate genetic pool.
