Storage areas

For a second there, I thought you'd taken that photo in my garage. Organization is key, last year I took a bunch of copper wire in and then when I got home and looking around I found another bucket that had been forgotten in the mess.

Before I had the warehouse, I had two trailers. One was the steel storage/transporter. I would put all of the dense material in as I collected it (pipes, beams, flat sheets), and sit the less dense stuff to the side. When I was ready, I would pile the rest on top, and off I went.

Home sweet home.

I bought 2 totes, 1 for smaller Al, one for Insulated. I use a garbage can I picked up on the side of the road in a field (the top is cracked and a wheel partially broken but it still works for what I need) for bigger Al. My big steel is in a pile out back in the corner of my yard, and the smaller goes inside a junk truck toolbox I have so it all stays contained, plus it saves space. I keep a smaller metal trash can in my garage where I do teardowns just to throw the steel pieces into, then handtruck it out back. 5 gallon buckets also come in very handy
