    On the advice of Miked(Thank you) I went looking for a 6" long extension bit and picked one up for $4. It is a little hard to handle at first,but that thing is really saving me some time. I am breaking these down so fast that its gettin hard to keep up with myself! I started with a dozen 50 gallon trash cans thinking they would be enough, but "I think we are gonna need a bigger boat".

    Do you have a buyer for your plastic?

    I wish I could find a buyer close enough to make it worth it, but the closest place to me is about 175 miles away. I emailed them a few years back and they said I was to far away for them to pick up, and @ $40 per ton I cant even pay for gas one way. I can fit about 50 monitors worth of plastic in the Park Avenue,and I live less than a mile from the dump, so I just throw my plastic in their recycle bin on the way to work.

    Mikeinreco, thank you very much. None of the local yards will buy low grade boards for more than shred, so I spend LOTS of time removing all the goodies before I take them in. I would love to find somewhere else to sell them. I live on the beach, but my parents live near the Nc/Tn line. It might work out that I can bring a LOAD next time I visit them(if the $$ part is there). I will send you a PM tonight and see what we can figure out.
