Starting in e-scrap in northwest Indiana

Hello everyone,

First off a quick thank you for all the knowledge that's eagerly shared on here. Whenever I have to search for some obscure question I end up here. Its a wonderful forum and community.



Anyhow, I currently work as a supervisor at a large aluminum remelting facility. After seeing a buddy's operation in MI I became interested. Last Monday I bought my first (tiny, 500lb) load of escrap off of a local yard and just started really tearing into now that I have a small shop setup in a spare garage I rent. So far it looks like I should make around 125% profit selling to ewasted, not counting my own labor or my girlfriends. Hopefully its a sign of things to come.

I'm definitely looking forward to getting to know everyone going forward. Hope you all have a good Monday! (like that ever happens)

Welcome from Northeast Indiana!
As long as the snow stops by morning there's potential for it being a good monday lol
