    Another New Member!

    Whats up guys! great community you have here! I'm from Bucks county PA about 5-10 minutes away from northeast Philly. I've been scrapping since i could drive so about 4 years now. back then i used it for gas money but now i use it to feed my savings account and take my girlfriend out stuff like that. i work for a trash company and i find a lot of cool stuff there - some scrap some not. Recently I've been scrapping with a partner just because i get more enjoyment out of it this way. We like to pretend we are a real company and call ourselves M&D metal management haha we have a shop that we put together under my parents concrete patio. before it was used for storage and had a dirt floor and always flooded. so what we did was add a sump pump and some stone, its not great but its not bad either haha. We scrap anything really and love spending hours tearing things down. maybe we can start to get into escrap with the help of this forum! if i understand correctly i can post some pictures of boards we have and some one will point us in the right direction of grade and what to do with them? we recently just got a trailer about 5x10, lucky for us my father company just wanted it off they're property so we got it for free! its registered already and everything! it needs a lot of work and we already did some to get it to the point that we could drive it to our shop but maybe ill start a build thread like they do on car forums! well anyway i'm gonna go sort these boards as best i can and take some pictures. i think i remember what most of them came out of... thanks for reading if you made it this far! if you didn't want to read the whole thing i understand haha.
    oh yeah you can call me George or M&D. probably M&D cause i know there's already a George on here.

    I just picked up 7 computers from my local trash company, and one of them is wadded up like a ball. I'll be lucky to get the good stuff out of it, might have to use a sawzall on it. It must have went thru the compactor in the back of the truck.
