Hello from the Pittsburgh, PA area

My name is Sue, I am married with 2 kids. My scrapping partner is my 16 y/o son, my hubby us helps when we need it.

I have been scrapping for about 2 years, but got really into scrapping this year. I guess word of mouth has gotten out that I do it. I try to scrap basically anything I can.

I have learned alot from this site, from lurking, but want to learn more. But, I can't ask any questions, so I decided to join.

I am also hoping to find some local scrappers near the Pittsburgh area. I do know a scrapper in my town and we help each other out. Would like to help other people out if I am unable to do a pick up or know that I can't haul it. FYI, I drive a little 4 cylinder Tracker and tow my scrap in a little 4 x 6 trailer to go to the scrap yard. BTW, my towing is only 600 pounds, but I have towed 880 pounds in rotors to the scrap yard...once.

Thanks for the tip Mike, greatly appreciated.



Now you reminded to call a friend who works for a company that does testing on fire extinguishers.

Welcome, Sue.

We're practically neighbors. I'm from out past Pittsburgh International, but most days I can be found in closer to the city, digging ditches. (Probably couldn't have guessed that, huh?) My scrapping is mostly what I dig up, or what I intercept before it gets hauled away in the dumpsters on the construction site...

HVP, most of my wires are stranded or out of motors. I hardly ever get #1.

Ditch, I will keep you in mind if I ever see anything posted on Craigslist or Freecycle that is your area. Is there a way to private message people in here? Just saw something from the Squirrell Hill area and not worth the trip for me, but maybe for you. I am actually about 30 minutes north of Pittsburgh, not far fom Route 28.
