Hello from Oregon

Hi, my name is Michael Thompson and I live in Roseburg, Oregon. I'm a disabled veteran and a full-time college student. I easily get bored with school work and started to think of ways to earn a little fun money in my down time. I remembered the summer of 2007 when I worked temporarily for the Bureau of Land Management as part of a cadastral survey crew working in the woods. Almost every day, we would come across a dumping site in the woods or a random appliance on the side of old logging roads. There was so much scrap metal in the woods that it would definitely be a full-time job collecting everything. Now, I'm in a position that I can afford to go into scrapping full-time. My father-in-law's contracting business has taken a dive in the last several years so I'm now thinking we might just go into business together as a scrapping team. Anyway, since I'm obviously new to the scrapping game, I will be posing many questions to all of you seasoned pros. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute positively to the discussion boards.
