Todays Haul

Got a great lead on craigslist yesterday afternoon from a lady who needed a house cleaned up. She said it was a small truck load of metal and I could take it for free, She even gave me $40 for gas because I lived about an hour away.

After working for a few hours we ended up with two truck and trailer loads total with a few thousand pounds of scrap including at least 100 lbs of clean aluminum from some old windows. All kinds of good sellable items at greater than scrap value including a like new push mower, livestock gate, chain saw, 2 brand new rolls of 2x4 utility fence... and numerous other items.

Been striking out on craigslist lately with no good leads, but hit the mother load on this one, Just goes to show you persistance pays off.

Looks like sanford and sons in the driveway at the moment. Snapped a few pictures of todays work.

Nice load. Got to love the 40 for gas. I love getting paid to make money.

Maybe you could use that chimney as a smoke stack for your truck?



Lol

Nice load, that cieling fan has some good copper in it.

You know thats something that I worry about...my truck still has the cats on it but they run into a glasspack that has no tailpipe so it ends right under the bed...It's pretty loud, especailly because of the fact it doesn't dump out the side and kinda echos under the bed...I bought it this way and while it doesn't bother my taste I worry about giving people the wrong impression or looking unprofessional...not to highjack the thread but any other input on this?

I never really worry about what other people think. Never been turned down because we showed up in a loud rusty truck.

I live in a pretty poor part of the country, And there are plenty of vehicles on the road worse off than this old truck.

nice good deal

Ya might try to find a core buyer when ya get batteries.
