    Hello everyone

    I,ve been looking at this site for a few weeks now and decided I needed to join. I'm trying to get into scrapping because they're aren't many jobs for old farts like me. The biggest problem I have is living so far out in the country. I'll try to take some of the suggestions I've seen on here and see what I can come up with. At any rate it's great to be part of this forum and I look forward to interacting with all of you.

    Welcome to the forum, olddawg. Yes, this is a good one for the guy who needs to "make his own job".
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Big welcome to you, old dawg! Living out in the country has its perks for finding scrap metal as well. This forum is invaluable in providing you with ideas and better ways of doing things. Again, welcome!

    Welcome to the forum olddawg. LadyScrappers makes a good point, farm land tends to to have a great deal of scrap.
