    very good day

    I was able to talk my work out of 16 computers for e-scrap which I passed on to a local scrapper. Got 2 messages on Facebook about picking up scrap. Those 2 stops filled my truck and trailer. Stopped by my father in law's house to pick up some massive copper wire. And to top it all off the neighbor that I hate put his house up for sale today!

    Ok so it looks like the neighbor took his house off the market. He's a nut job.

    Yes, I don't have the time or space to break them down. We are working on a price. I took in what I picked up yesterday and got just over $100 bucks for the load.

    I got great neighbours, a MOPAR nut on one side & a retired Vietnam vet on the other.


    I couldn't ask for better.

    Calm down guys, he gave them to me. hahaha.

    I've known him for about a year now, same off road club.

    I got about half of them torn down last night... then ran out of battery in my impact driver. so did an initial breakdown of the rest of the cases, and will finish up either tonight or sunday. The wife wasn't too happy since we should be moving soon.


    I'm glad you trust me Logan

    Nice. I've taken all the big stuff in. All that's left is the brass/copper/aluminum that I have to break down.
