    Big Rooftop score!

    Here are a few pics of a 2 week breakdown and scrapping of 2 mall rooftop HVAC units. 4,000 lbs each! Coils alone were 400 pounds!







    Yes, these things gave me quite a workout!

    My yard would have a collective wet dream if I rolled in with one 400lb thing of copper, or like I think it was 56 earlier this year, with the 3800lb chunk of copper.

    An yes..I used "a collective wet dream" in a post.

    I should like..get an award or something.

    It's no douchecanoe but c'mon!



    Sirscrapalot - Is that copper in your pocket or you just happy to see me? - Said some scale guy never.

    Love those things...once on trailer 1-2 hours to being broke down into manageable pieces.

    Very nice, keep it up, the only thing two weeks to scrap them out i don't you do this full time one day at the most after removing R-22
    I went out in the warehouse this is there start for the morning, come on the bigger the units the easier and faster the are to scrap out, nice little score there.
