    Yup, I missed a motherload last year in Rosenburg, Texas. Lots of 3/8" rebar. Most 20 feet long. I picked out a lot of the short pieces but a battery sawzall and a headache rack on the Ram 1500 would have made me some serious money! My DeWalt battery saw has paid for itself several times over. There was enough rebar in that construction dumpster to do the slabs on at least three homes. Several rolls of tie wire and a bucket of form nails too! Picked out about 40 2X4 stakes. They're on a pallet waiting for a project I have planned.
