Thank you all for the welcomes!
I've had a lot of my questions answerwd by using the search function. One of the biggest parts of the learning curve for me is going to be figuring out exactly what materials are what (meanining exactly what something is going to be classified as at the yard) and making sure I group them or prep them properly so as to maximize the pay out. Also, what things are worth scrapping and what aren't. I'm really wanting to be able to eventually make enough with this to start working my other business part time and to be able to pay off some debt. I'm starting to make some local contacts in the renovation and HVAC industries. Hopefully they can send some scrap my way on occasion.
