    Can you believe this

    One of the "accounts" I picked up is next door to some current renovation work.
    The electrician stopped me and after we talked he said you know I have some stuff that you can have.
    Now I know and you know most of these guys scrap their own stuff, but when I explained my wife lost her job and I am fighting some tough debt, he said....

    Here take this stuff.....

    I will finally post pictures this weekend (I still have to sign up to the bucket or imgloader).

    Can't wait for you guys to see the pics!

    and yes I got a signed release for the stuff.
    You can make money 2 ways.
    1 - Do what others won't.
    2 - Do what others can't.

    Sorry for taking so long!!! Photo and image hosting, free photo galleries, photo editinghttp://http://s1289.photobucket.com/...html?sort=3&o=

    These are only 2 of the pictures. He gave me a lot more stuff.
    Man you are right but since I started doing this and along with my regular job, time is just something I do not have.

    Just realized I may not have done this 100% correctly. The second link does not work, but the first does.
    I do not come on as often as I did. God has been very good to me in this venture and I just stay going. Have a rare day off from my day to day job so I am having coffee. Doing a run here shortly and after that have to start an attic job for a retired attorney. No metal but he has
    a lot of law books. Remove the covers and I can get about 240 a ton plus getting paid for the removal.

    VERYOLDGUY: I have a friend who runs one of those "shabby chic" stores. She, and a lot of other people buy old books for decorating. You can group like colors together and sell them as bundles for $20-30.
