    Bad yard, good fence

    got two trips into the yard to get rid of some bulk scrap that found it's way home. washers and dryers, metal cabinets a huge ball of chicken wire,computer cases ext and then a trip of AL cans a lot of which were not crushed. Both were taking up room and not in the steel pile but here at home so I like to keep that space open for good stuff.
    and the bugs are finally awake here so cans are vamoose store them away from the house.
    Made 80 bucks as cans are only paying .35 and steel is still 95/gt.
    I picked up this fence someone put in my metal pile a few weeks ago. Instead of tossing it into the scrap pile for a quarters or two at best. I decided to paint them up and see if I could sell them.

    The wife posted the pic on our local FB yardsale group (which is working extremely well for me right now)..SOLD in 10 minutes and high bidder is taking all eleven sections and a gate home for $18 a section!
    Still got a few left to do but there all prepped ready to paint. Nice way to end the day after two disappointing trips to the scrapyard this morning, had to get rid of some bulk scrap. ahh well win some, lose some

    There ain't nothing wrong with an honest days work. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.- Old Man
