12,000 and a pumpkin.

I accept the challenge of guarding the cooler. I take it serious, so warn everyone!

Sirscrapalot - Finds using a taser is effective for keeping people out of the cooler.

I wish I would have thought about pumpkin. How can I be so naïve? Thanks for volunteering to babysit the cooler and I believe you will guard it with your life.

I was going to go with zombie pumpkin but you stole zombie.

I have to go cook some steaks now, all this talk about zombies, pumpkins, coolers an work make me hungry.

Sirscrapalot - "Ask not what your cooler can do for you, but what you can do for your cooler." - JFK..ok me, but still I should give him some credit.

I have some questions. So you are gonna jump from one 70 ton job that took you months to complete to a huge job that possesses tons of technical removal. I hate to say it but I have seen this before and it never turns out good. How do you intend on removing all the internal structures and cat walk inside the building. Those tanks are three inches thick and your gonna hand remove the stuff??? Using a three foot torch is gonna take years. Do you know what selective demolition is and how to drop a building of this size by cutting the beams holding it and pulling it over and dropping all nine story's to the ground???? I don't chime in much on here anymore but you are more then welcome to contact me at my business email. I specialize in the removal of scrap like this. I can give you some tips to help you out and answer any question you have about technicality and safety. Safety is going to be super important and take up a chunk of your profit on a jobsite like this. My email is Pistonescrapprocessing@yahoo.com and my name is nick.

Thank you for the reply Nick. I am serving as a consultant on this project, coordinator of logistics, and purchaser of supplies, materials, and equipment. This was finalized this morning. We are not leveling the building, only removing the scrap. The I-beam structure will be left in place. The owner has a construction crew and additional millwrights will be added to this crew. If I was younger, I might try to create a company to take on this project. At this point I cannot afford the risk because I do not have time to make up for it.

The catwalk will not allow the use of heavy equipment. Engineers will design trap doors in the roof to remove the tanks and other items. Winches and block and tackles will be used to move some of the metal to chutes to slide to ground level. Shears and grapple will be used to prepare the metal for boxcars. The plans are still in the preliminary stages and I am not shy, I can use all the help I can get. Thank you for the offer and I will be e-mailing you.
