    Ok guys, so I'm back. I was in the Dominican Republic all last week and just got back into the swing of scrapping. Anyway, so I finally finished tearing down the computers I bought last week. The original plan was I was going to the yard tomorrow to drop off the barrel of power supply and cd/floppy carcasses and computer cases along with the aluminum and other non ferrous scrap. Then, the day before I leave, someone calls me and tells me they will drop off a gas dryer, fridge, and flat screen TV. I tell them I will call them when I get back and I then leave. I come back, and they tell me they will drop them off tomorrow. No biggie, just a quick flip of material. THEN, my grandfather calls me telling me he found a desktop on the side of the road, and he has a tv and stereo and some other stuff to give me. Awesome! We go run some errands and stop by his house and pick up the stuff and get talking to his neighbor who is moving out. He has a trailer full of stuff and says take what you want, it's all free. SWEET! I immediately grab a bread-maker and a printer and it all went up from there. I ended up with:
    -2 more complete desktops
    -3 printers
    -a breadmaker
    -TONS of insulated wire
    -TONS of steel Coax (Unfortunately)
    -a Ps1 and like 5 cell phones
    -2 VCR's
    -and tons of household electronics

    So now my garage is overflowing with product that needs to get moved out and more stuff coming in while I have no room to work with. What a wonderful problem to have....

    Today's haul:



    Yea, I think my garage is worse than Jack Shmuc's right now...
