Hey guys, like the title says, this week sucked for CRHing, this was it, 2 40's, both of which were enders in there boxes, seem to be having more of these coming through lately:icon_scratch:, and the 2 1987's you see there, I ordered 2 extra boxes this week also so that was 14 boxes and 2 bags ( $1000 ea.), oh well, there's always next week!:laughing7:

Ok, so some of you know that I run my own Lawn Care Business, this enables me to look for scrap sitting out at the end of peoples driveways or an old washer sitting up by their garage or anything anywhere for that matter when I'm out servicing my accounts. This is what I just randomly picked up this month while out working which was pretty much just divided into Aluminum and Shred ( shred is just your basic metal stuff, grills, metal chairs ect.), I didn't even bring my copper pipes and wire this trip, I'm saving for my next trip next month. I won't go into all the scrapping stuff ( I'm not an expert at all), but I will tell you it pays a lot more to separate your metals, for example, your typical grill you see at the end of someones curb, if you bring that to the scrap yard like it is, you get .08 a pound for it, if you separate the the lid and base ( both cast Aluminum) and knock off anything attached, you get $8.00 for it! Uh, that is easy money there, I pick those up all the time. Anyway, if you look at my receipt you can see the "Cast Alum Clean $10.75", that was for 2 little BBQ's that I split apart in like 5 min at home and added to my load, so here are some picks of what I took into the scrapper this month. Total is on the receipt, I made $323.41, now I can add that to my CRHing fund or just go buy junk Silver with it, and it was FREE MONEY, well, ya know, for the most part, there is some time and effort involved, but you get the picture.

Enjoy the pics, and yes, I love my truck so I got one pic with it pretty much taking up the picture, it is the first brand new vehicle I have ever bought, it was the showroom model (2003 first year they brought back the Hemi) and I got to drive it out of the show room, it was an Awesome day! I have manged to keep the miles down on it, it just turned 60,000 this past week, not bad for being 13 1/2 yrs old. I see some of ya did great this week and had some great boxes, glad for ya guys! HH, Maverick.
