    Very productive day today

    Today we dismantled 120 desktop computers! About 90% of these were complete, the rest only missing 1 or 2 parts.
    This was made possible with the help of my wife, who not only supports my scrapping but is also an excellent helper! She can strip down a computer nearly as fast as I can. I worked for 9 hours and she helped me for about 6 hours for a total of 15 hours of labor.
    I pretty much needed to get this done this weekend, as more will be coming in a few days. My e-waste side business has been super busy, scrapped about 3-400 desktops in the past month plus a bunch of servers, laptops etc. Pretty good for a part timer!
    Also one of my suppliers came by and dropped off about 270 lbs of #2 wire, 40 lbs of #3 wire, some power supplies, and a few other things.

    That's cool that your wife jumps in to help. That's a lot of desk tops.
