    Steel score

    Cleaning out an old barn on the side, been digging out stalls that have been packed full of junk and rodents for the last 30 years, lots of wood.
    Got to the bottom of one stall and low and behold there were 5 pieces of angle iron 7ft long 1\/3" thick with 6"'sides. Nice stock metal, runs about $250 a piece brand new. Dragged those over to a local gravel pit sold 2 for $400, went to a good friends place who always needs metal for projects and sold one more for $150. The last two are mine need those for one of my projects although they are a little bigger than I need but I'll make do, so saved myself a couple hundred.
    Hope I can find another pile of those!
