    Been a member for a while, time to introduce myself

    Hello Scrappers!! I have been a member here since 2013 but I usually find exactly what im looking for just scrolling through the forums so I haven't really needed to post anything. I think its about time to introduce myself though.

    My name is Justin, I live about 10 minutes from Jefferson city MO. Im 29 married with three kids boy and two girls (7, 4, and almost 2) I have been since I was 5. My grandpa is a long time scrap metal hoarder (he got me into scrapping) and also used to be my babysitter during the summers. He would tear down air conditioners and give my brother (7) and myself (5) a air chisel to cut the copper loops off so we could get the steel off. He'd give us a nickel a pound for what we got done. Anyway I learned from a early age it was worth the efforts and scrapping is how I always earned my spare money. Been hooked every since. I could go on and on and on about scrapping but this is just how I started. This forum is awesome in everyway, just wanting to extend my thanks for allowing me to be part of it.

    Welcome from Maryland.
    I too learned much from my grandfather. My fondest memories are of him teaching me about how to use a tool and how to grow a garden. He lived to be 104 , I never stopped learning from him. Now Iam teaching my grand children. Thanks for your intro!)
