Note the neighbor building , about 20 foot tall with a flat roof >> They spent 2 days shoveling the snow off the roof. The pile now reaches the roof

If I were you I would get them done ASAP, there does not seem to be much relief in sight. Price wise.

Here is what I've gathered since xmas, they will be there 'till spring. 'Cause I said so.

From left to right, Grand Am, Santa fe, Corolla, Escape.

Possible sale of 2 of them in late spring for the derby. At this point resale is my best option.

They pay for the weight of snow too? Haha!

yeah thats alot of snow.I know i hope it doesnt go down next month!

well i have about half of them stripped down.It has been 3 weeks messing with these same cars.When i got them a snow storm came and couldnt do anything for a week.Then it cleared up and worked everyday last week.Now this week another snow has came.Dammit i wish this weather would straighten out so i can get rolling again.But now it is going to be clear the next week or so and next week even in the 60;s so i am ready i tell ya.

I takes real men to work outside in these conditions. Price still the same for you?

Spent all night plowing again >> Add about 2 feet to the height of all the piles and double the front to back ratio of the snow in the photos
Money is nice but I am ready for it to stop!

Cars still sitting at $80.00 a ton / 2000#'s
I have been warned it might drop a little lower before it heads up

yeah i am at 130 per ton still.I have been out working in the cold that isnt the problem.The problem is trying to work on stuff in 10 inches of snow lol.

well went yesterday and finished stripping one.Pulled the motor and trans and stripped another and now today it is pouring rain.Dammit i can't win for losing with the crappy weather.

other than a loader what is the next best way to smash the roofs in on the cars?

monster truck?

There was a small salvage yard up in northern Minnesota that used a tank retriever when they wanted to flatten a vehicle shell with frame.

They had the old military tank retriever for one of their other businesses of cutting trees for wood pulp. That is what I was doing there. I was helping with the harvest of trees for pulp.

In case you didn't know, a tank retriever is basically a tank without the gun turret and it has a boom and winch much like a vehicle tow truck.

I always found the term tank retriever sort of humorous when you think of a dog that retrieves ducks and such, and a big tow truck with tracks that retrieves stuck tanks.

Cut the roof right off it with a quick cut. Cut the pillars as low as possible and smash glass from the outside in.

yeah i am trying to figure out a way to do it clean and safe
