A whole house was gutted after it was burnt badly and I got the wire, a good amount is strippable and I bagged it all, theres 7 bags weighing 30lbs on average, Theres also the panel, and tons of outlets and switches and fixtures. 9/10ths is 110 and theres a bit 220. It is the old kind with the mesh coating so its hard to strip. My wire stripper pushes through with a gear and it gets so clogged with soot it can no longer grip it!!! But I found a very easy way to do it instead. This only works if its messed up and loosened from the fire. First you take a utility knife and an about 4 foot piece of wire, go to middle of wire and cut the casing off on a 1in. area all the way around the middle. Pull from both ends, and walla! It is so easy and quick. (Wire stripper works whence I pull the 3 out of the inside)

So far I am cutting it into manageable sections and packaging it.



Since my dad works in the disaster restoration business I have oppurtunity for a lot of this stuff but the only reason he got me this one is because its a big gut job with lots of wire, usually he only gets me good stuff because he doesn't have a lot of time to run me around. If I had a truck I would of been the guy who got ALL the appliances, ALL the electronics, They get gut jobs all the time where everythings too burnt to salvage so I have potential in the future to get some good stuff in this area.
