    14x70' trailer house specs

    Just in case any of you have ever wondered how much ferrous/non-ferrous is on a trailer house of this size and if you think it's worth it. A buddy and I just finished one.

    tin roof + steel frame/axles = 4260 lbs
    aluminum siding + al extrusion = 440 lbs

    Some other appliances were weighed before this and the copper tubing/wire will be sold at a later date.

    thanks. I was bidding on one this weekend. Looks like I should have kept bidding. It went for 100. About how long did it take to tare apart?

    Three full days with 2 people. It would have taken much longer but we were able to burn the wood/trash on site. Decent money for that amount of time but pretty hard work. Do note the aluminum was sold as "dirty" so that saved some time.
