    Aluminum shed

    So me and a friend went and took down an aluminum shed for some guy on craigslist. The shed has a ton of screws in it still cause we just cut it up with the saws all. Now my question is do we need to take out all of the screws to get all aluminum pricing?

    scrap metalscrap metalscrap metalscrap metal... Looks like I got a lot of work to do. This would be easy but each screw has a nut on the end so I need to hold the nut with a wrench and unscrew each one.

    Guy alsO paid me to take some wood he had sitting behind the shed and wants me to pick up some more wood and take it away for him tomorow. Not sure how much I should charge him or what I should do with the wood.

    I got rid of a pile of wood by taking a picture and posting it on Craigslist.

    Be very careful pricing wood disposal. Maybe you could burn it. But don't burn pressure treated wood as some of the chemicals used can be harmful to you. I've hauled wood to the landfill twice for customers and both times I seriously underestimated disposal cost at the landfill. My landfill charges by weight. Best advice is to charge your fee "plus landfill costs".
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Ya ive been trying to find out how much it would cost to drop it off. The wood we grabbed yesterday was from a patio that he took down. Today he wants me to grab some wood fence posts. The fence posts are painted red and the wood I alrdy have looks like its pressure treated or something so I cant burn it.
