Have a huge floor jack- doesn't work
You guys are going to freak.. but this is the storage bay of my recently passed "Body Shop Guy" The landlord was owed money.. family refused to pay what they owed.. he did his 30 days post-formal-notice and came to visit me yesterday and said "You can have all of it- I need the bay cleaned out"
Today I have to get to:
A Battery Charger (on wheels)
An auto body pull dozer
Engine/Transmission Stand
And a few other goodies to get to.
This guy packratted EVERYTHING.. I SWORE I'd find a few Computer Towers from 1985 in there- sadly nada- just and just 4 bubble monitors. Got to snag the cords off of em and those GOOOOOLD connectors! CHING!
Ok so Day #2 of the cleanout. This load looks "lighter" but it is because there are a lot of goodies that I did not want to get destroyed piling.
In this Load their is:
Engine Stand
Body Dent "Pull Dozer"
A MAC Battery Charger that works.
Most of the rest is scrap.. But wanted to be sure those goodies stayed fine as wine.
Have at least 1 more load- possibly 2 or 3.
Garage is packed.. wife already commented.. looks like that plan to hold steel to spring is a bust.. but at $180/ton right now. Won't get hit too hard!

Ok been absent for a few days because I've been doing this cleanout of this storage unit. Wanted to share some SCORES with you gents. These are just a few.. Still have a bunch left to get listed and try to sell.
Here is the Locker after 1100 lbs of steel was brought out

Finally Done with ALLLLLLL the breakdown. Anything with a cord.. I figured would have a board in it. New to trying this E-scrap thing.. And I got a bucket of boards.. some good.. some mid-grade?
*EDIT* Ahh.. Learning Fast.. Low Grade for the most part. Stripped off the goodies (Transistors, Alum Heat Sinks etc) and into shred pile! Bummer. Did get a few goodies.. but about 5% of that bucket were green/green goodies.

If ya don't mind me posting a pic on your thread, Sledge, here's what I was given today. That's the third load like that from a Radio Shack in 2 months. Seems like schools update often and just throw everything else out the door. Free for the taking. Now if you were here, we could learn together. I'll buy lunch.
