    Thank You

    I had a good job but I was away from my family too much. Wife was pregnant, finishing college and we had a toddler. I wanted to scrap full time and cut a deal to clean up 26 acres of scrap metal. Great! had a dumpster brought in, started filling it up and cashing in. I had my pick up borrowed a generator and a sawzall. I had nothing but money to put gas in both. Then while reading one night I came across this site. My income tripled. I had no idea the money I was throwing out. Compressors, motors, aluminum, Stainless, it was all just going in the rolloff. Ewaste I had never even heard of. I was able to return the generator and saw. I purchased a demo saw with the profits I had and went to town on this place. I have been so succesfull I was able to quit my job last October, Just purchased a F250 flat dump bed truck with a snow plow and an 18 ft trailer. I have all the tools I need now. I networked my self like crazy and had to take a step back as I was getting spread to thin. (what a problem to have huh) This is just a one man operation. I secured some weekly pickups with thrift stores and a body shop. I still have the original property i am cleaning up. I also secured a deal with a cable company that is a Huge source of income. The other feller on here just scored a very nice deal with that setup. The people on this forum that share there advice and tips so openly deserve a big thank you. So thats what this is. A big thank you from me to all of you.
