    Did our First Storage Units Today!

    So me and my brother got hooked up with a few storage units to clean out from a friend of ours who owns a garage and manages the units.

    We had 4 total to go through, only catch was we had to pile all the garbage from all 4 into one unit so he could rent the other 3. Not much to ask of us for giving us a whole bunch of free scrap, ect... Also let us clean up a few things around his property.

    From the outside, we got:

    3 long pieces of Aluminum guttering
    1 large piece of stainless
    1 Fridge
    1 Stove
    2 heavy pieces of chain link fencing
    1 12ft section of gaurdrail!!!
    Misc. small Items

    Now on to the inside of the Units:

    Just to start, a bunch of misc. metal including frames from 2 couches, 4 Rims, Piece of chain link, ect...
    An Antique table saw (very old and very heavy steel)
    4 TV's, 3 of which are being broken down and 1 27in in perfect cond. now in my brothers son's room!
    A box full of Old tins, many say Limited Editions (Hershey, Planters, ect...)
    Antique Glassware Items
    Many nice toys for our kids
    A ton of appliances, insulated wires, ect...

    And the coolest thing i think we found, (may not be worth anything but still cool):



    A letter in an envelope in mint condition for "Moth Insurance" for a Cedar Chest from Jan. 1940 to Jan. 1943 from an Insurance Company in Virginia. Envelope is postmarked Jan. 31, 1940 and Postage due then was .03 cents! Pretty neat find if ask me.

    And before we got to this job this morning, we took a load of Aluminum, Cans and Batteries to the yard and made $177. Good day with more to come!

    Happy Scrapping Everybody!
