    Value of a Trailer house Floor frame ...

    I got a call today from a guy he said that he saw my flyer and had a frige and some steel poles in his yard and he also has property that had a trailer house on it. He tore down the walls and the only thing left is the plywood and the chassis what would the price be ball park estimate wise ? Don't know yet how long and wide it is thinking standard trailer house size :confused:
    Thanks in advance

    Depends on steel prices in your area, size, and how small you cut up the frame. We did one that we cut up into 4 ft pieces and got about $300, but that was at last summer's prices

    Just to the guy again It's 55 ft long and he figured 12 ft wide thinking 14 ft. I'm asking because I want to know if it would be worth it to rent a saw to cut it up with since I don't own any torches yet.

    We used just a regular sawsall. We tried a torch but it was so much more cost-effective using the sawsall and it worked just fine. Just make sure you have plenty of blades.
