    Everyone has their own method I guess the point of this thread is to show the profit potential of a breakdown vs leaving as is...

    Of course it is all about the time it takes you to break it down and what your time is worth.



    It took my employee two hoursish to break down these 5 transformers

    My point being if you are a one man show those 2 hours could yield you an extra $200 thus giving you $100 per hour wage not too shabby

    I agree there is value there.........If I was 25 again sure........I can remember cutting up mobile homes with a reciprocating saw....LOL...........Not sure what happened along the way but I think the wear and tear on the body has gotten to me..........My patience also does not allow me to work on one item for example 30 minutes.........No disrespect to you CLCKE Just not for me perhaps others will chime in!!!
