    I love spring clean up.

    I was stripping out copper wire out of an old torn down house (with permission), and a guy comes up to me saying he has a huge cast iron boiler he wants to get rid of and a barn full of scrap. score! my grandfather owns a trucking company and cleaned out his place and has a pile of rims and other metal he wants me to pick up. Hope everyone else is doing good! thought id share.

    I ended up getting 83 pounds of wire from the old torn down house. i never thought houses had that much wiring...

    Good deal. Those rims should be #1. If you're going to OneSteel, there shouldn't be any question.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    yeah they give me #1 for the truck rims. i brought back a few of the old, now illegal, 2 piece truck rims and got #1 and they weigh 75 pounds a piece so they add up real quick

    after i get some money rolling in ill be going around the town looking to buy junk cars. There are quit a few ive had in mind, i just got to ask the owners
