    Talking I found my yard!!

    Hi everyone! I just wanted to give an update to those who care to read this. I found the local yard that I'm going to bring my material to! After my last experience leaving such a bad aftertaste I decided to call the yard that I was trying to go to originally. The gentleman that I spoke with gave me their 3 locations - none of which were anywhere near me - when i told him my dilemma he suggested that I call Performance Metals. It was his old company he had said and it was much closer. So I called and spoke to Jenipher, who was very nice and helpful, and as soon as I closed the office, I raced towards them. I made it there a little after 430 i think and the gate was locked up but Jenipher & her husband were still in their office. They both helped me unload what i brought - like 3 boxes of electric motors and I had a great experience all in all! I was really starting to worry all the yards were going to turn out like the first two. I'm super relieved that I found one that isn't! Just thought you'd like to know after my last great experience. Update coming soon on my scrap load!

    Very nice. Who would have thought you would turn into a full blown scrapper when you first popped in here.

    Not me that's for sure! You're partly to blame for this! lol Blame probably isn't the best word choice there... You basically gave me my first opportunity! So thanks again!
