This week my brother and I got a summer job! We do stuff like, mowing and weed whacking etc. The building used to be a bleachers maker, but they went out of business, so the man who now owns it, has us doing stuff to get it cleaned up and presentable.
He has all this steel and aluminum laying around for scrap. The steel doesn't fetch much in the scrap world, about $100 for 1 ton.
So I asked if it was ok if I took some steel bar stock for welding, and he said that any steel we find we want, we can have! It's a huge blessing, to get all this steel for welding! He also had these old tools from the previous company, that they just left there. So they put them in a pile ready for scrap, and he said if we saw anything in there we wanted, we were free to take it. So we came home with a DeWalt chop saw, lots of bar stock, and buckets of self tapping screws and lag bolts. We have to clean up the chop saw, because all these aluminum shavings are stuck on it with cutting oil. After we finish cleaning it up, he's going to give us a job through the rest of summer, to maintain it.
Anyway, enough jabbering! I took these photo's a few weeks ago.
