    Hello

    My name's Darrin, I get rid of old appliances and break them down for shred and electric motors. I use a modified cart with a dolly affixed to the bottom to haul heavy things or vast amounts of cans. I'm trying to become more efficient when collecting. Investing in a small truck soon.

    glad you hopped over to our forum scrapfrog. You sound like a very determined person, so I'm betting it won't be long before you get a truck. In the meantime, I agree with new attitude...your dollycart sounds great. Good luck.

    Upload your pictures to Photobucket. The pic you want to insert you take your curser and just rest on the picture for a second and 4 selections will drop down below it. Click on the "direct link" and it will automatically copy the picture location. Then when your posting here you click on the little square window looking thing right above where your posting. After the box opens up, just right click and paste the address in there and you will have your pic. in your post.
    Hope that's not too confusing; you can also alter the size of the pic. to make it a little smaller if wanted.

    This is an old picture, I have since painted it red. It also used to have bike tires on the sides instead of a dolly supporting it, kinda like a handcart.

    Now if you click the code in the direct link box on the side or under your pic it will flash "copied". Then click the "Insert Image" button in the post tool bar, delete the http:// crap since the code you copied has it, then paste the code in there and post and it will look like this.


    Clear as mud??
