Old lurker here.

Hello everyone. I can't begin to tell you how much stuff I threw away before reading on here. Yes, I threw away computers.
I've been part time scrapping for about 4 months. Mostly small stuff cus I work out of my garage, but have a boat in my garage with all my camping, fishing, lawn equipment and don't have much room. I even have some stuff in my living room. We sold the old furniture that was in there and not being used.
I work full time as a Physician Recruiter. Have been for 20 years. I am an EX Coastie(Coast Guard). Trained as an Electronics Tech. Could sell better than fix so I'm in sales.
OH, I'm also a Chef at a 36 year old, family run Seafood Restaurant in S. Florida.
People ask me why I do all the things I do and I tell them that I like to have toys and I have to pay for them.
My wife asked me the other day, where are you going to take this scrapping business, what do you expect to get out of it. "I'm 51, when I retire in 15 years I'm going fulltime scrapping".
Looking forward to learning more.

Hey Headhunter, welcome to SMF! Good luck with your plans

Sounds like you need a shed out back, or a garage extension ; )

Thanks Bear, No room. Very limited lot in community with association. I might be able to put something in the back.
good idea, I'll keep an eye out for one on the street.
