Helping other half at work pays off..

So my wife conned me into helping her out at work hanging drapes. They offered 8.50 an hour, I countered with 50 of the tvs they were going to swap out..they accepted. lol.

So..for about 8 hours work I scored 50 tvs. Nice side benefit of this is the GM of the hotel, and the owners now know I scrap, and they have 4 other hotels all within a hour or two drive of me. I'll be talking with the gm and owner about being the first on their list once Hurricane/storm season hit, or for when they swap out stuff again in the future at other properties.

Not big bucks, but big enough for my wallet, and a helluva a lot better then 8.50 plus taxes removed..etc. Haha.



Coming back from picking up 35 of the tvs, I found a nice computer tower, still loaded with the HD, and all the other goodies, a sony flat screen and a nice alum backyard table set.

I'ma happy scrapper.

Sirscrapalot - scoping out storage units as he's run out of room in his workshop for all the tvs.

Heh, thats what I was thinking Dunemaul.

Sadly Mike I thought of that, but the first batch were left in the rain by the hotel folks who moved them. It made me sad. I'd not want to plug one in to find out if they still work. Hoss has me beat with being shocked, I don't think it can be topped.

The cords on these tv's are long as all git out. I'll have to try an remember to take a photo before I strip them.

Sirscrapalot - Has a grill, and will be using it soon to roast wee..err hot dogs.
