So, having scrapped in the area before the move and stopping in the local bar for a cold one on a hot night, most everyone already knew what I did for a living.
For soooooome odd reason, things happened to ''click'' this weekend (not sure why ''scrapping'' didn't ''click'' before this lol), its not like I never pulled in full to the gills with scrap!
Anywho, was in the bar the other night and one guy said ''this is good to know'' (what I do) even though he already knew! Lol, maybe it was too many cold ones on his part
Saturday, brother came home and said one guy had a truck load for me (guy from the bar). Cool beans! While I'm there his neighbor see's what I'm doing and brings over some stuff. Even cooler beans! Pull out of the drive and the neighbor two down from the original one is waving me into his driveway. Gave me pool pumps, those heavy umbrella stand holders (for deck tables), push mower and some other odds and ends and a gas powered edger.
From those 3 houses I got a grill, a mower, pool pumps, misc metal, old metal hose reel, drum set, trampoline and a BB hoops (the end of driveway kind). I had 832 lbs of steel from that day alone as well as 100 lbs of misc non ferrous. The yard roller and farm equipment is still in my yard because I have to go out on my 9 hour run in a bit.
Today, the neighbor pulled into my drive while I was out breaking down and loading my truck and said I have a yard roller and an old piece of farm equipment for you, come over and get it.
Cripes, lol, I can't keep up this week and this is all in between my regular scrap routes which is piling up to be taken in, no idea where to put more scrap and leave room for cars to park!
From the first guy (from the bar) he gave my name to his family and said his brother probably has some stuff also. For some reason he was impressed with my doing this (part of it being a female lol) but I wanted to conk him over the head and say, ''hello! you KNEW I do this!'' lol
From the third guy (the waving one as I pulled out) we brokered a deal on tearing apart ANOTHER camper *facepalm*
that wont be started until his yard dries out, its still like a swamp at this point (low area). I look at it this way, this one is a pull behind, should go LOTS smoother than the first one I did which was the driving one and considering I'd never done a vehicle before 40 hours plus a few wasn't all that bad for a girl!Hopefully this one takes less than that.
AND, there are only TWO trees growing through this one lmao.
All in all, I am not missing the lawn equipment job that never came to fruition because at this point, I'd have to work 24/7 to get it all fit into my days!!
Alrighty folks, gotta get my truck in order and head out, I hope everyone's evening goes as great as mine has so far and hopes to be again when I get home at 3 am!
