    basssmaster if you don't mind me asking, how many pounds and if you don't want to give exact amount then ballpark of how much you made on that run. Thanks and I don't want to be prodding but I am just very curious as many others are too.

    50 pound coils stack , pack and distribute the load well
    also makes it easy to assess the damage from the daily $$ quotes
    each bundle was + a few ounces using bare bright baling wire
    18 baled shown went @ $3.12 that saturday morning

    How did you get a job like that? Just by word of mouth or?? Theres lots of closed down business's around here and just would like to know the proper route to go about attempting to get something like this.

    I think I'd have trouble selling those copper loops. I'd want to keep them, look at them, pet them. And even I know that's just darn weird.
