    Saturday's trip to the yard

    Prices still holding at 170 a gross ton. I had 640# in this trip. Going to hoard as much non-ferrous as I can till prices come back around.

    When the pic first loaded, all I got was the top part, showing the house. I was thinking.."He scrapped a brick house..that's awesome.." then this evil laptop decided to speed up an the rest of it loaded.

    An yes...I can see why she calls you that. As one who travels your roads now an then, I thank you. I had to dodge several items last time I was up that way that fell out of someone's truck/trailer/whatever.

    Sirscrapalot - Big box lying in hwy with people doing 70mph is...interesting.

    Nice load and real nice strapping.
    I need to do the same thing now as the frost heaves have reared their ugly heads.

    Nice load. I made a trip today also. I had 1000 lbs worth. It really adds up. I had two water heaters, a built in oven, an old heavy dishwasher, a cast iron sink, a 55 gal drum full of suspension parts, a BBG grill and a tread mill. Of course I already removed all the good metal from all of those to save for another trip. 92.50 worth of shred. This is stuff I have collected or was given to me by friends and relatives over the last few months. I just do it part time/hobby. Also sold a fridge on CL for 285.00 delivered. Was a good day!!
