    Finally

    Just got some new scrap to take apart. Just a couple old radiators and a water heater.Its not much, but its something and will keep me busy all day tomorrow. As an added bonus, i got to see an old friend and help him out. This water heater flooded his basement. When the guy came to install the new one, he wouldnt take the old one. Thats when he called me. It was just a 40 gallon so i was able to pull it up myself no problem. Its nice to help people out and get scrap as payment

    WTG Lurch! Did he say why he didn't take the old one? I've seen many companies at the yard with the old tanks they saved after installing new ones, maybe your guy just doesn't want to bother? could be a way to get more down the line!!

    I have absolutely no clue. Probably didnt want to deal with it just because it still had water in it. I couldnt believe it did still. Filled the basement with a couple inches of water and still had some left
