Some Pics from Copper Head - Page 2

This is either Good or Bad ? my son was at a town swimming pool
he saw this in the parking lot and said to my wife I am getting that for dad
he was all excited about the value .I not sure i will even sell it now . I paid him $5
So 11 pounds @ .09 = .99 cents true value, I guess I'll sit on it for a wile .

I found one of those radiators once, they are from a pool heater.

You must be teaching him well.

I have some more Pics ,
But here is a most recent ,
Wife ,kids and I drove to Long Island for family time (her Mom Pop) Arrived 5:30 AM Wed Morn .
Due to last years flood still dumpsters out. I went to work , In about 2 hrs truck was full as could be, as seats you see folded down ,
Regardless I did well - 67 pounds of AL , wire , motors , Mix , Car Bat. made $93 and took back home some wire i was not gonna sell @ .50 LB
.I utilized 2 different yards, One was a higher payer like copper, @ $ 2.50 Lb .That impressed me as by me yards only paying $2.30 .
But I had to take most to the lower pay out yard because that yard lets you take apart at the yard.

I always like scrapping Long Island .
Long Island is very peaceful in the early morn . Some times I get home sick as 46 years of living there compared to upstate 8 years

This was last week -
found a SS AL fridge I was almost going to just sell as WAS. But I chose to dismantle Plenty of SS and AL the foam insulation proved to be very little weight .
A Good reminder for me as to Dismantle work -- JUST KEEP TAKING THINGS APART

This is a proper Pic of the recent wire find . The workers told me this type of wire is used under ground , plenty of copper and the AL is a added extra . Once again selling this wire as Dirty AL is just being taken advantage of

A small find in the dumpster Old store shelving easy work with hammer to change to Short

On my way to yard and a fast curb find of Short

Don't want to bring bad luck to it but praise is worthy of the Chevy Venture . It has some basic annoyances you expect of a car with 160000 miles like Electric stuff, I see the virtue of the Old work trucks my father had much less to go wrong
Any way I purchased truck with 99000 and it has had no major brakdowns in 61000 miles just brakes thats all , I know the day will come , but not yet It runs nice . The inner Axel bearings are making sounds

I'm a big fan of minivans too. I switched from an E250 about 5 years ago - figure I've saved about $20K just in fuel over that time. You can get an older model, low mileage minivan for very little. When they get to about 8 or 10 years old, people no longer trust them as the family car and they're not that popular with commuters. Although they're not great for real heavy hauling, I've had no problems with loads up to about a 1,000 lbs. This is fine for shred or ewaste.
