this is the coolest... ok so i know i havent been around for a long time but i had to share this with you guys... those of you that have read some of my other stuff (probally none lol) know that im in construction.
so right now im demoing out this building for a new store. and in my contract i have to "gut" it. well im tearing it out and hit a jackpot. not like a hidden treasure from the 60's but kind of. this was an old grocery store so it had sevral fuse boxes. anyway i pulled the old service wire out of the ground and got 183 pounds of it...
so now you guys are saying yeah so what.. thats kinda what i thought i almost threw it away.. but then i thought about all the people i see saving it so i kept it and burned it off ( the coating around the wire) wich left me with pure #1 GRADE COPPER. heres the good part. copper is worth a $1.11 a pound here right now so i turned a 183lbs of copper into 203.13$
WOOO HOOOOOO
what a nice little bonus..
it was my first time "junking" but shit that was a hell of a way to start. the guys at the scrap yard said i would be an addict from now on lol.. i dunna know about that... but it only took 15 min and 40$ spent on the right tool to get the stuff.
so do any of you tfp'ers junk??
got any good places to find stuff worth junking?
maybe i am hooked...
