Would love to see some of the bigger guys lots on here also!!!..;-)...I need inspiration!!..lol
I asked United for bins. They wouldn't let me have any unless it was to be short term, like 2-3 weeks. I may try Western, they have more bins than any yard I've ever seen. Pacific just smirked and said they have none to give out, yet their ads say they loan out bins, though they specify it's for commercial. Eff 'em.Originally Posted by TheHoss
About the phone, either a USB type cord, or if you have the option to email from your phone, send the pic to your email. I do that when I am in the field and it's in my inbox when I get home. Then right click to desktop and upload from there.

I thought I would I would upload a few pic of my space. The pallet of Bare bright weighs 1800lbs and was out of a data center, the ACR's weigh right at 800lbs. The wire weighs close to 15000lbs and the motherboards are at 2000lbs. Hope you guys enjoy. http://s1187.photobucket.com/albums/...nt=Mbrd789.jpg

1 1/2 car garage with barely enough room for a lawn tractor.
We added this onto a cement slab, keeps the sun/rain and mosquitoes off.
Improvised work benches, when we're done with them, we scrap them out.
Just some of our stockpile, work in progress. Sorry for the blurry pictures. Not "Big Time" by any means, just getting by with what we have handy without spending more money.

I have a 20x40' tent...bought it for around $400 to use as a tent barn for raising rabbits, then decided not to cause my buyer lowered the price for live rabbits. In other words, to get best price I had to kill them!! No could do. I could kill them if they were already dying or born with some huge defect. (I worked for someone else for 2 yrs managing his rabbitry) So, I have a nice workshop and storage space. You're making good progress Re-cycler. Mech and Snodly, love the tv workbench !

This is just a little update on my little one acre homestead/work place. After I had about 70 yards of sand hauled in (6 big loads at $50 per load) I spread some and packed it with the tractor I am surprised at how well it is staying in place after the last 3 nights we got almost 2 inches of rain per night.
Yes! 6 inches in three nights........... http://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w...t=DSC00101.jpg
It is saturated and mushy where I didn't have time or room to run the big tractor wheels over it but is holding well.........
This is the cornfield adjoining my lot... http://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w...t=DSC00103.jpg
If I hadn't gotten the sand I would be wading ankle deep in water and mud for several days just to get 75 feet to the road.

At least all that corn is standing up still, we had straight line winds come through here and a few thousand acres of corn is sitting on the ground....

Where the water is standing has been replanted twice since spring......too late now for 3rd go round not uncommon in this field though........now the carp swimming up from the lake 5 or 6 miles away as the crow flies is something none of the oldtimers here have ever seen. This is looking north.... http://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w...t=DSC00106.jpg the natural flow takes all the water from my side of the road north almost 20 miles before it goes southward again to the west fork of the Des Moines river ......from the rise on the other pic the water all flows south, The source of the Little Sioux River is a half mile south of here.

This was another man's sanctuary 40 0r 50 years ago....... http://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w...t=DSC00115.jpg he's been dead for 30 years but I have the honor of getting to know him as I vaporize his life's work
Actually this is one three building the farmer worked on his equipment in, I cleaned out his real shop many years ago and as his son has found his way as a CPA he has once again let me clean up the remainder of his fathers presence on the homestead
http://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w...t=DSC00116.jpg
Later I will dissasemble the tin shed in the background and use it out here. I still have much of what I hauled away the first time I cleaned up ........Tobacco cans, handmade tools and jigs......as I sift through the ruble I can see myself sittin by a woodstove sipping cheap whiskey and rolling a cig with him......Had I really known him I would probably rolled a fatty and popped the cork off a bottle of ouzo and offered it to him.......I'm like that with my kind of folk.

Here's where I play at my dads, he has the double garage with plenty of room to work and more work space than I have at my house. I also added the tractor I use to load my truck with heavy stuff, I just put the boom on the back. I fricking love that tractor!! the two pics go left to right, I have that whole wall set up to work at. The welder on the very left is the one I'm teaching myself to weld with. Dad bought it and doesn't know how to weld lol, so I'm playing with it. So far I suck you can knock apart anything I weld but someday something might stay together!!
