    good morning!

    So my S.O. is a electrician and brings home wire. For a while i thought his big pile of old used wire was just silly sitting in the garage. Well one week we were a little low on funds i was wigging out. He said have a seat and brought in some of that old wire. He showed me his way over the last few months iv found a way easier way in about a hour i can make 30$ he hasnt stripped a piece of wire in 6 mo all i could do was giggle at how bad he was at it now. Our 6 loves going to scrap yard. When he realized you can get money for metal he will pick up any piece he finds no matter how small. Our scrap yard is about half a mile away so he loads his wagon and we walk it down of course its im my name but the always "deal" with him.
    Anyway hi all!

    Hello Chickie, welcome, and if you take the time to go thru the different sections and do some reading you will be amazed at how you can increase your payday at the yard by breaking things all the way down.

    We have different areas of scrapping and it's like a college education without the test later.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
