On the way to a wedding 15 years ago, I pulled over on the shoulder of the highway to pick up a rusted off cat on the side of the road while in suit and tie. Wifey hollered it out the window and...
Greetings fellow cheesehead! I'm about 5 hours north of you but right next door on SMF.

GnR- If you have more than a few bucketloads of nonferrous you're at the right scale. Save yourself some time and grab the pallets and barrels yourself, just try to find ones with a tare weight...
Gus-
It wasn't a KTA-19 or KTA-1150 was it?
Barge update: 12 working days to cut up. Exactly 20 200# O2 tanks used (all on same LP tank!). 3 1/4 30yd roll offs of floatation foam removed. Missed total tonnage estimate by 3 tons (I estimated...
Updated progress pics on photobucket under dapperscrapper. Sorry, still all thumbs in getting image link to transfer.
Yesterday, cut the bottom in half and pulled out of the way, flipped over and...
Propane pressure seems high. I run 5-7#. Check your hose as well. Propane will dry out a non-LP rated hose in a year. What size tip are you using?
MandD- got the job by bugging the barge owner and with encouragement from landowner. This thing's been a mostly sunken eyesore for many years. The barge owner has a crane nearby that he's selling...

You're preaching to the choir looking for free scrap on this site. Join the crowd and welcome to the forum. Well done ad J&J! Very professional.
Yep. Glass pack, a.k.a. cherry bomb.
Bigblue- When you talk about cores do you mean starter, alt, pumps? Do you have a buyer for core stuff other than elect motor price for starter/alt? Just curious if I'm missing the boat not looking...
Focker - I have done it but here's some things to think about: BEFORE you bid ask about property owner conditions for removal or demo- some don't want you dismantling onsite and others could care...
$1234. Hard to forget that number! One pickup bed full of nonferrous. First load of spring and right before prices dropped out.
Propane is cheaper to operate but uses slightly more 02. We made the switch from acetylene over a year ago and have saved quite a bit of money. We are also an hour drive away from acetylene...
