    first trip to the yard on my 3 yr road to recovery

    had to go in the car so I took only the honey.

    cu/al rads 25 lb @ $1.80 = $45

    stove elements 8 lb @ .50 $4.

    ols sheet al 1 lb @ .55 + .55

    y brass 20 lb @ 2.15 = $43

    #2 ins cu 8 lb @ 1.40 = $8.40

    comm wire 11 lb @.45 = $4.95

    #1 cu 33 lb @ 3.85 = $127.05

    #2 cu 65 lb @ 3.65 =$237.25



    clean al cast 30 lb @ .60 = $18

    total $488.20

    would have been nice to have the 50 lb #1 I lost to thieves but still overlall and all Im pleased with the first effort. I still have about 30 lb sheet al 500 lb prepaired heavy and 750 lb of light iron. some of the al prices and comm wire were weak when you look at com (computer wire) bundled it is about 90% or better cu shoukd be #2 ins in my opinion.
    yard was panhamdle converter Dothan AL.

    by the way all the metal came from my yard nbot one piece from any where else.

    hell we barely talk after 30 years let alone eat together : (, apparently there is much bigger difference between 67 and 47 then there was between 18 and 38.
