 Smiley  I have a really cute house for sale in SE Wisconsin.  MLS# is  994493 and there are multiple pictures up on realtor.com  The basement is full and finished with a workshop room, kitchenette, family room and utility room.  All the appliances except a washing machine are included.  Some of the details (including the picture of the back yard) are not correct on the listing, but most of it is fairly accurate.   We'll entertain any offer.

I disposed of over $600 worth last weekend and with the two old trucks over $1600 this weekend. I still have more that I haven't hauled yet but it is going to go. I will keep some back for welding projects but not too much as I know how to accumulate pretty well. Of course the entire country side will be stripped bare when this window of opportunity slams shut. I suspect it will be good for the planet and it is giving my personal economy a little shot in the arm.

I have cleaned up a couple piles...and hauled a lot of cars recently... But I still have one place where there are numerous cars and a huge scrap pile...I have the driveway gated with a big steel gate.

Went there a week ago to do some work and the neighbor came to see me...The locals have been knocking on his door wanting to know who owned the scrap pile and the cars... Left their names numbers and cards...etc.

What made me laugh was most of them said "tell him I will clean it up for him free of charge."

gee that is awfully nice of them....When the price here is hovering around $15.00 per hundred pounds

In my area there are lots of people out scrapping. I haven't tried to solicit scrapping for other people just getting my own place cleaned up. It is easier for me than for lots of other people because I have the equipment. I use the forks on my bobcat and the front loader on the backhoe when necessary. I also have a tilt deck trailer so I could just roll the old trucks onto the trailer and haul them. I suspect that this window like most won't stay open for ever so the time is now to get rid of this stuff. And like I said it is good for the planet. Now if I could just find someone to buy plastic. I have lots of left over pipe.The scrap yard I go to has somone who comes around and picks up waste oil too so I can get rid of a couple of drums of oil I have sitting around. It is all good. Dealing in scrap metal is like dealing drugs. It is all strictly cash. There won't be a 1099 at the end of the year. How good is that.

desdawg too bad you are not closer. There are several buisnesses that use waste oil heating.  A friend of mine has a garage and uses it to heat with.  He has a never ending supply as long as buisness holds out.  If the gas is high people will not drive as much therefore the repair shops will just have to wait until they break down sometime later Huh.

If anyone is in the market for a car tote let me know.  A friend has one that he paid $1.400 for and used it one time to take a car to Fla and back.  It has ben kept in a barn for the last several years. He is asking $700.

I have a cardboard box I keep rescuing.  I rescued it from the barn when Dad passed away, and from the barn when Mom moved into town, and from the carport when the wind storm blew it away.

It is labeled 'Working Plans for Working Decoys".  The book inside is dated 1979, and it includes paper plans for carving, painting and weighting wooden duck decoys. 

There are 6 patterns, Canada goose, mallard, scaup, pintail, canvas back, and wood duck decoys.

It would only require a large manila envelop to mail it, and I would be glad to do so to a good home.
It has a few miles on it, from the windstorm and years in the barn, but I don't think it was ever used.

considerations would be very interested in it.  My dad is a avid duck and goose hunter.  He has several wooden decoys that were made in Pascagoula,Ms in the 50's.  Hard to tell what they might be worth.  I made him a bunch of goose heads to fit clorox jugs to double as Canadian Snow Geese decoys.  I would love to get into making decoys if my life would ever slow down long enough.  I am sure it will but will I be worth a hoot by then.

I heard a rumor yesterday that China was going to stop buying scrap iron July 1. I don't know how much truth is in the rumor but if it is true the window of opportunity in that area is closing.

Yeah China is not importing copper aluminim steel until after the olympics... security reasons... Guy who buys scrap metal from me told me this a couple of weeks ago.. the price has already started to go way down here.

I have two Gable vents that I bought a couple of years ago and never used.  If I recall correctly, I paid ~$110 each.

Octagonal shaped, screened in back, with flashing and trim ring.  40in^2 of vent area.  ~ 18" across the trim ring.

$50 each plus shipping


Still available Frank?  (pondering alternatives....   Huh?  )
