    Wink First Load

    I took my first load of scrap to the yard today. It mainly came from two sources: a tenant who left a bunch of crap at my rental, and a friend who put on a steel roof. I had more than I thought, and feel like I got good prices.

    Shredder - 360 @ .12
    Al Cans - 26 @ .63
    Shred Al - 38 @ .60

    Total $82.38



    The bonus is that I got to window A/C units this week. I only turned in the bodies today. I still need to figure out what I'm doing with the guts.

    I'm hooked! Can't wait to get another load together and beat both my total weight, and profit totals.
