Starting things back up, nervous, excited, stressed, but smarter!

I got to revise my reply as your reply just got to me. My wife dosen't know scrap but I have many contacts. I crush all my beer cans. ( A 96 gal. toter holds 125 lbs of cans $38.00) I brake every thing down and sort, she *****'S take's time and lot's of BEER, I only cash out ounce a mounth or so, BUT when I give her the CASH, $300.00 too $400.00 a mounth she's HAPPY, BUT still *****'s, I MAKE IT YOU SPENT IT. Gotta LOVE your wife.

My wife quit her job 16 years age to stay home and take care of our 3 kids because we could not afford daycare. I continued working but started selling old copper wire I removed from buildings I worked in. It paid the house note many times. I've been scrapping for a long time and my wife has always supported me doing that. About 4 years ago I got into ewaste and was bringing home enough that I was having a hard time breaking everything down to get it ready to sell. My wife told me about 3 years ago that she felt useless because she didn't have a job. I've always told her she had a harder job taking care of the kids and she agrees but she wanted to be able to do something to make money. I told her one day she was hired. I've taught her how to separate the different metals and she can tear through a truck load of computers in no time. We're in the process of getting everything ready to haul off because she wants to use the money for Christmas. I don't mean to high jack your thread but it has always bothered me when I hear about someones wife, husband or parents who don't support their scrapping. I hope that anyone in that situation succeeds and makes a s**t ton of money. Hopefully people will notice and the support will follow.
