Introducing myself.

Hello everyone. I've been scrapping for 5 years, and have been gaining new knowledge from this forum for quite some time. I live in a small town in the desert. I mainly scrap copper(I'm addicted to motors) and brass. I also do the heavier stuff and clean out old farms, though i do not prefer scrapping steel. I have an old back/leg injury that has recently come back to haunt me, so I am trying to get more into E scrapping so that i won't have to do so much heavy lifting (used to put a lot of appliances in my truck solo). Anyways, computers are scarce around here, so I'm still going hard on the appliances. I have a 98 jeep wrangler and a 2000 Ford F-150, and a 12' trailer to pull behind whichever I choose to drive. Trailer's pretty nifty because I have some steel ramps that go on the back(heavy suckers, though) and lots of come-alongs, chains, ropes, a boom, etc. I have a great job, but sadly I do not make much money, so scrapping is a lifesaver for my family(a beautiful wife and daughter). I'm 21 years old, so if my youth or inexperience offend anybody, I apologize in advance. Well, that's me, I suppose. If theres anything I missed that should be in a proper introduction, feel free to let me know.

(edit) wow , didnt look first or I would have seen how many other people were as uninventive as me with their title. I'm embarrassed.

Welcome from Denver.

I like your name, welcome to the forum. Escrap can be a lot easier on the body.Hope you do well.There is a lot to be learned in the archives here or you can just google an escrap topic and most likely it will bring you back to this site anyway ( sometimes I have better luck doing it that way).
