    Current project

    What are you all working on right now? What's your current project?



    I have two ceiling fans, a printer, a microwave, and some motors to take apart. Hoping to get to them tonight!
    Faith x Needs = Motivation

    Still working on those three truck loads of boat motors and parts I got about this time last month. Plus the two microwaves that got backed up when I got the motors. Need to be hauling some more loads to the scrap yard but waiting for the guy who called yesterday to bring his stuff down. He's a regular so I know he'll be here. Bringing a load of heavy iron, an aluminum flag pole and four stoves from a school. Today, I'll be going and picking up from an auto body shop I get repair parts from every two weeks.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Working on a full gaylord of VGA cable. Cutting off the gold ends and making it a higher grade wire is so fun.

    I've been seeing those cable ends sell on ebay for a good chunk, as is!

    A few 12-packs of Mountain Dew, 100+ pounds of copper wire, an AC, and a house that's coming down in a few weeks
    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer

    My project for the past few days has been getting this thing prepared and on its way to Alberta. Such a headache getting everything coordinated. Already had to cancel 2 pickups.
