    Recieved a call today

    Hello everyone,

    Today I have recieved a call from one of my ads on craiglist, a guy called me and he asked me if I took steam radiators, I told him yes, well when I got over to his house he had a total of seven steam radiators,he had four small one out in front of his house and three large ones up stairs.
    Well I called a buddy of mine to help me out, we took the three large ones down the stairs, I mean we had to inch them down one at a time and after we got all three of them outside the house, we loaded up the smaller ones onto my trailer, I can tell you this, this was my second heavy load that I have goten for this year, I can tell you this I am starting to love the heavy loads that I have been recieving for this year.

    Well I could have charged him, but the home owner was in his late 70's and he reminded me of my grandfather, so I didn't worry about it, plus his house was so beautiful on the inside, he told me i was built back in the 1920's

    Do you have pics of the radiators & their weight?

    I'm just wondering because I might have a chance to scrap a few & would like to know a little more before talking to the guy again.
    6 or so, 3 foot to 6 foot long.

    This sort

    If the larger rads are to heavy to handle whole, you can unbolt the rods on top and bottom and separate the fins so they are easier to handle.
