    Cool Labor Day Curb Shop Victory!

    i was supposed to go to a family picnic, thought i'd leave early and check the side streets for some scrap. Had no idea i'd fill up the truck today! full of pull out chairs and a patio set and exercise machine, nothing of real resale value.. drats! But hey, i feel this is a $40 paycheck anyways.

    BOOM Benny!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I bet you could sell that patio set, clean it up maybe some fresh paint.

    Labor Day treated me well too. Yesterday I picked up a Bowflex off Craigslist, and picked up a full truck load driving around the neighborhood. Today I picked up a heavy ass treadmill, and 6 dishwashers off Craigslist. All of the dishwashers were at one house. Very strange. I also went trash picking today and filled up the truck. I'm satisfied. Filled up the truck 3 times on only a quarter tank of gas.

    Benny, I've been meaning to ask you this. What size of bed do you have? It looks like a 4 1/2 or 5 foot to me.

    Do you take off the seat fabric and fake wood panel before throwing it in the pile?? I try to clean up my steel as much as possible. Maybe I have OCD...

    Not sure, probably a 5. Back seats are pretty small so it might be bigger. Id have to google it

    No I leave everything on, if its the same price either way. Might as well get rid of it all together
