gr8 week so far

this week so far on monday, we went to our local yard they loaded us up with tanks to cut in half for them, they may be the gaylords you guys talk about on here 4 4x4x4 boxes full to the top of aluminum tanks, insurance wont allow his guys to do it , then we went and bought the auroras you seen on the other thread. tuesday, we went and finished our crawler loader we started over a month ago we got rained out in a couple of hours anyway got it done yesterday got paid, paid the man his half and got my excavator home. then we went and bought a corsica and a grand voyager. we got four cars in the yard right now. i dont know whats gonna happen today or thursday but friday i get another load of fire extinguishers ( still got hundreds of em ) im gonna start today cutting tanks in half and will work on that all day unless i get a call for a car. oh yeah almost forgot , where we bought the van last night the guy sold us 2 truck batteries for 7 apiece and a real old vise still in a snap on truck in his yard we paid 20 for it, i didnt see a namebrand on it so i doubt its snap on but its huge everyone have a great day i gotta goto work

What kind of deal did you work out with your scrapyard to cut up the tanks?

You might have to open a used car lot! It's nice that you have a yard you can work with.

thank you it sure does, its really faster to do everything on the trailer including the cat but the days i work by myself i play around a little bit. i was a small time logger/sawmill operator before scrapping so i was lucky and started out with alot of equipment. hard dangerous work, so is scrapping but is way more enjoyable plus more profitable for me, we have a home improvement store on every corner here, for those of you that know wood i would have to sell black walnut, cherry and the like for $2 a foot to even get a call or basically working for free

Hey cory, I assume yard you take yyour metals to wants those tanks cut in half, the yards down in florida that I work with say just take the valve off the top, only gas tanks need to be cut open. What do you do the powder from the fire extinguishers. I would hate to just dump it on ground everybody around here is on well water.

Cory, thank you for your reply to my post. I had a guy try to give me about 150 extinguishers one time about 4 years ago. They all had the powder in them he said it was a mixure of salt and baking soda, for greese fires. When I pored it out it sent dust flying in the air. I could flush it out with water and could probably bag it up and take it to the dump. Idon't remember any presure in them, is only way to release the presure is to remove the nosle? Sure would hate to have get away from me. Anyway thanks again I think I'll look into this, could be good money in it.

mechanic, neither one of thems running and im gonnna say the white one wont have a chance since it was bought as a parts car. Kris Kringle talked me into buying a diagnostics machine so im gonna try to hold on to them and try to get the silver one running. happy i always push on the handle to release the pressure just the valves were broke on those two, theres money in them i can guarantee it, if it were not for the extra money in the extinguishers we have been getting all four of the cars above would have already been scrapped i would probably drive 4 or 5 hours for a whole trailer load especially if the nozzles were still in

okay first of all i promise i wont give play by plays for every week but i done started on this one, took the corsica to the yard this morning and cashed out, its rained all day so we said we was taking the day off, got a call to go get a blazer this evening, cant drive thru the yard someone built an maze in my yard of junk cars and trees plus it was wet, anyway got jackknifed between a tree and a tree in the middle of my driveway tires just a spinning grrrr, anyway pushed the @$$ end of my trailer around wtih the excavator and backed out, i hate screwing up plus we gotta get a 4x4. anyway now the good news $200 already got 1% of my money back over $2 in the console

Keep it coming man! I for one enjoy your daily adventures! Especially when they include pictures of all the cars you get. I don't get to do as much scrapping as I'd like due to my job but I always like coming on here and reading about everyone's scores.

Nice haul cory looks like aluminum wheels. Thank you again for the info on fire extinguishers, Ialso went back and read your old post about fire extinguishers, lots of good info. I'll keep you posted on how I do with them, been to busy right now to get out and talk to anybody but maybe next week.

Cory, I enjoy reading your day by day adventures. It's nice to see someone who's willing to put the work in to get ahead.
