    40 years of Home Improvement Projects

    I do have to say I kind of like to help out the older gentlemen with their misc. worthless buckets in the garage.
    24 lbs of Red Brass
    4 lbs of yellow brass
    16 lbs of #2 copper
    And 6 buckets that I haven't sorted and broken down yet of stainless, wire, and cast iron.

    If an old guy puts it in a bucket he knows it has value.

    It is a conservatives way of hiding money in the mattress.

    He said he has 'rigged' until he can rig no more, and now he's retired and if it breaks he's calling a plumber because he hasn't got time to mess with it because he is going fishing. And his wife won't let him put the boat in the garage until he gets rid of those buckets.

    It's kind of a mutual labor trade thing. He won't take money so I'll just make sure his sidewalk is shoveled this winter and has firewood close at hand.
