    Cash on a hot tin roof

    Repeat client called says he sold house. Said there was some steel in the attic and the out building that I stripped out be fore was co.ing down and take the roof. Not much labor involved and I needed to make anything I could. Took my time about 5 hours, 15 on gas . Total metal recovered was 360 non ferrous and .240 sheet aluminum. Net for job 110.00. Plus a cool old sink for resale dated 1879
