    The construction superintendent and demolition forum for the company that hired me as a consultant tested me last week. They took me to another project and had 25 I beams, 21 - 23 ft. long, 16 in. width, and 3/8 in. thick. They were going to cut them up for scrap and wanted to know if I could get more. They wanted them moved now. I asked for a week. They granted that.

    Being new to the area, I did not have a network yet so it was research time. Found a contact and made the following deal. Explained time was of the essence and if he offered a fair price and picked them up on time, I would have a lot more in the future. The company was going to get roughly $ 200 a gross ton for them and I got an offer of $ 300 a straight ton. Set pick up one week from when I saw them. Superintendent and demolition superintendent could not get them to ground level in time so now we are waiting on them.
