    finds for today

    was walking the dogs and found a ceiling fan. then i had to go to my nephews. on the way there i seen a house that was cleaned out, i found another ceiling fan under the granite counter tops, dug it out. on my way back i went by a house that i had got a heavy tv stand from the other day and there was a double door fridge there. the doors were taken and so was the copper and compressor. made my job easier on loading it heh.

    Some will remove doors so kids don't play in them and get trapped. Whether that's the case here, who knows.

    That's a law in some states due to kids getting trapped inside. Maybe someone just threw the doors in the truck cause they had no help to manhandle the whole fridge.

    That's what I thought as well.. Most of the time, even though the whole fridge is considered "Stainless Steel" when being sold, the doors are really the only non-irony SS.

    well in the past i seen scrappers in suvs. they dont want to take the whole thing so they strip the doors and take the copper and compressor which was gone in this case as well. so yeah probably didnt have enough room. anyways took that fridge in with some other stuff and got $50, was 520 lbs. then on my way back spoted a water heater but wasnt sure in one of my sweet spots. bro wouldnt let me go look. took the dogs down that way to check and man guy pulled in and got it all heh. it was a hot water heater, house heating unit etc sucks missed out on at least $40 there.
