    So I came back yesterday from a week vacation and like I anticipated I got swamped with scrap. Come home to some tins, coax, bird bath, and 2 faucets in the driveway. I have no idea where it came from. In the back my neighbor the IT guy dropped me off 2 printers, 3 monitors, 2 desktops (I thought one was a pentium pro but it's just a pentium) and a Macintosh. Now I know your all thinking sell it for resale but he left it there early in the week and it rained. Well, I couldn't forget pics so today the neighbor comes over with this ancient piece. It's got 10 cards in it. And some of what I think are refining quality pins.

    We'll I haven't updated this in awhile so here it goes. Been cashing in loads of shred and like I figured it being Memorial Day yesterday, people would be cleaning for family to come over. Plus garbage day was today so it gets put out the night before. Anyway first I head over to my mechanic who I get scrap from. I go over there and people I know I scrap so they'll bring it over to his house for me yesterday was this case. trash compactor bonus already taken apart 2 sets of shocks, top of tv antenna, and a bag if beer cans. Go home, unload go over to the rich neighboorhood next to my neighboorhood and get all of that and this were at 1 house go around the corner and find this it weighed a lot has cover and all burners appear to be good. One knob is missing which I can get another one if I want to sell it. Go home, unload. Go to the other neighboorhood pass 3 huge piles only to get a little box of electrical outlits, some 4x4s for reuse, and a small metal patio table.

    Well, today I visited a family relative I haven't seen in a couple years since hey said they had a truckload of junk. Here's what I wound up with that's 2 ac units, 2 evaporator coils, 1 furnace, a bunch of ductwork, a cheap steel bathroom sink, random furnace fan blower, 3 garage door openers, a small axel, and some other small stuff. They had more ductwork in the basement but we were full and had to take the highway and the neighbor also had a furnace but they wern't home. In the load there were 3 heat registers/vents with brass tops totaling 3.5 lbs. later tonight I picked up a hot water heater (all steel), a pos dolly, umberalla, weed eater, and more heat vents. Today was a good day A guy from my dad's work also has a camper trailer with walls and frame that was used for lawn equip so it's gutted. I potentially could get this.

    Last Sunday I found this it breaks into 4 pieces still have to fix some stuff. There is a spear that goes in hand but it's screws together (2 pieces) and the threads are stripped so gonna weld that, one of the bars that attaches the hat is snapped but it's still fine, and got to tighten the feet (little wobbly). Same night I found a kerosene heater, router, old cigar box, 2 speakers, chair, and about $1.50 in change

    That is awesome! Nice find

    Yesterday was one heck of a day for me. Most of my day I spent breaking down stuff. When I was done, I went inside, checked craigslist and scored 2 dishwashers. Around by my house garbage goes out tonight. By my house there is this house that had a fire and I've been getting little stuff every so often but yesterday I checked the dumpster and holy $%@#. There was flashing, siding, a couple pieces of ductwork, and lots of wire. Had to go back home to empty. After that I go on my run and the rich neighborhood next to mine on the first street has a microwave and office chair. Go to the next neighborhood and grab a couple mops. This is where it gets good. I go around the corner and see 2 tvs. A flat screen and a computer monitor. I go to pick up this huge flat screen (which turned out to be 42") and it says DELL on it so I'm thinking ok its a huge computer monitor. This thing weighs a ton. After I'm done I go home, unload but keep the tv/monitor in the truck to test it. I plug it it and it takes a little bit but the blue box comes up saying it's not connected to anything! I go inside, google this thing and I about fell over. If this thing actually works (I'll hook up cable later today) I'm sittin on a HEFTY chunk of change. PICS and results coming later!

    The tv works! Unfortunately there is no stand or wall mount so no shop wants to buy it.

    Found this beast last night I started popping the plastic off to see what made it so heavy and found this I've stopped taking it apart for niw until I find out if it's worth anything or its just another piece if outdated junk. Anyone know?
