    Went to Look at Job

    Had a guy call about a house tear down. When I saw him he wanted someone to do it for the lumber. I talked to him more I decided I would help with this. This was the best move I could have made. He started pointing out everything I could have. He just bought the place and wanted it cleaned. This is the Motherload. Here is what I'm getting, a Ford Taurus, 10 lawnmores,all the house, and looks like 20k in scrap steel. I can start in two weeks. I can't wait.

    Good find, ocedy. Now spend the next two weeks laying out your plan of attack. Write it down in a rough outline.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Would that be 20k as in money worth..or as in pounds?

    An very good hit. Sometimes the jobs that seem like crap are the ones worth wild...partly because all the other "scrappers" pass the job up.
