    Hello from Denver

    New guy from Denver here...Thanks in advance for the knowledge gained from you all. I've owned a contruction biz for over 20 years and had to adjust many times to keep things afloat. I've been the only employee for about the past five years and biz is good but I'm ready to move on to a new challange and would dig being able to walk away from const on my terms.

    Anyway, not new to forums having wrenched on bikes and cars for most of my life, forums are one of the best tools a man could have. The difference here, just so I got my facts straight, is that instead of spending money on all kinds of upgrades and such that are recommended by forum members, you guys are going to show me how to put $$$ in my pocket? Now that makes the $20 for access to the VIP lounge a no-brainer!

    The past couple of weeks I've been tossing misc. metal on my trailer instead of setting it out by the trash for the local scrappers. Yesterday I sorted it with advise taken from the forum and took it in...$115 bucks for 2-3 hours work. My appologizes to the guys that have been pickin up my stuff but I'm hooked...

    Thanks again for one of the best tools I got now.

    I don't know how many times I've looked back and wished ... "If I'd only known". When I bought this place, I once hauled an aluminum transmission to the scrap yard that had been left here. Since I hadn't stopped at the office, the guy asked me "Don't you want to get paid for it?". I told him "No, I just want to get it out of my way.". If I'd only known.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
