Supposed to go down Tuesday morning and start. Still getting some prices from yards. Already agreed on prices with the owner. I'm in talks with yards between 1 hour and 2.5 hours away.Quote:

I will tell all of you, when you get some quantity, shop around, ask for higher prices and don't be afraid to drive a little ways to get it. I did quite well for myself today and the owner did quite a bit better.
Going for load #2 tommorrow. Hoping for a little more weight now that I have a sense of what it looks like.
Will have to do a 3rd load also, but that will be alot less money as it will be mostly aluminum.
No snakes today and didn't see any spiders, but I wasn't looking.Quote:

Day 2 update
995 pounds romex
466 pounds med thhn
83 pounds al bx
986 pounds thhn
13 pounds #1 copper
Have another day of copper and the a day of aluminum.
holy ****! That's great! I assume the breakdown category's are what your buyer is buying? And the #1 copper a bonus!
Patriot76's numbers are looking good for total pounds! for now :D cant wait for the totals! A lot more than we thunk!
And is the BX price for the wire with the shield? I always pulled out the wire... but if I could get paid for it as is...!
I am going crazy, this guy should have just separated what he was taking home each day and took it in himself. https://youtu.be/1jOk8dk-qaU
Don't give us the money earned if you don't want to. I would be inserted in money paid per pound paid to him for the wire you bought. After all you had to go out and get the better price for it so money earned is not necessary.Quote:
