    Found an old FURNACE in the dumpster

    Made my usual Sun. afternoon dumpster rounds and whoa...someone moved or cleaned out big time. Furnace (3x6) still had some brass and wiring...saw all kinds of other good stuff.....BUT, I already had 1/2 truck load and no trailer. SO...I jumped back in and headed to my nearest relative's house to get a trailer !! Ten minutes later it was all still there and MORE....so I'm thanking God and throwing things in and a ratty looking
    truck comes up pulling a ratty looking trailer with more stuff....uh-oh....COMPETITION !!! The furnace is still in the dumpster....what should I do ? Yell that I was here first ??? I took the high road..."Hi, are you pickin' or dumpin' ?" "DUMPING". Music to my hearing aides !!! So I help them dump, they give me what I want and help me put the furnace on my trailer !! Sweet. Now my question is: SHOULD I TAKE THE FURNACE APART OR SCRAP IT IN ONE BIG PIECE? WHAT IS IN IT? CAN I MAKE ANY MONEY? WHAT KIND OF METAL IS IT?

    My apologies to my older forum friends who went apoplectic after reading the first question and "your welcome" to all my good buddies who got the joke right away and had a good laugh !!! For newbs who still don't get it: stick around and you will !!

    It really was one of my best dumpster hauls and I'm having fun sorting (and deciding what to "hoard") and getting everything ready for a nice payday !
