    Ever had to strip wire with a sawzall?

    I havent until today. My dad has been telling me to call my uncle for awhile because he repairs appliances and used to scrap but is now too old to finish up what he has started. I finally call him and go by. He points out an aluminum wound transformer and a short aluminum pipe. I'm feeling rather disappointed until he says "now on to the real goodies" and walks around the side of his shop.



    My eyeholes rest upon a huge pile of the thickest wire i have ever picked up. Big enough that i had to ask him if he knocked down a powerline lol. I cant post pics but i took some in case I ever get a lap or desktop and internet there will be a ketchup thread. Anywho i put so much of this wire in my truckbed that I had to come back to get the motors appliances etc. If you say "pics or it didnt happen" im going to freak out fair warning. Also a plus he is going to teach me his trade which is appliance repair im super excited!

    Btw just from what i could strip this morning i got 33 pounds of #1. In about an hour, mostly cuz stripping wire with a saw takes some getting used to lol. I will post shred weight tomorrow sometime if i dont get called in to work
