    Another Whale of a Job for me again

    Last Thursday I received a call from a guy out of Atlanta Georgia, he wanted to know if I would pick up chain link fence, I told yes, well he gave the address to their Birmingham yard, when I got there I was very surprised in how much that they have.
    It was a pile of old chain link fence, as tall as my truck, that stretched the entire length of the yard, I will be putting the pic that took on my Facebook page if anyone wants to see what I am talking about.
    But this has been my second biggest job for scrap metal and that I am so happy to show people what I can do finally.
    If anyone is having trouble in finding me on Facebook, just do a friend search under my name ( Terry Raney )

    I've read on here some places won't take it easily(unless like stuffed in a car trunk etc) so you might want to check unless you're already sure

    The yard that I have been dealing with for over several years take the chain link fence the way it is, but I get .05 a lb for it, but there is a lot of it.

    Sweet! Let us know how many loads you ended up with.

    Oh, and typing in your name brought up too many people with the same name.

    Well I took out three loads already and tomorrow I will be making at least 6 loads, so in other words it will be balls to the walls with no chance of any screw ups.
