The Metal Monger

Posted on by

Every renovation runs into budgetary constraints, but there are plenty of tricks to either shrink the budget or find a little extra bread if you are determined enough.  When I was a kid my father who was a contractor used to send my brother, a fellow by the name of chunk and myself to do the demolition on buildings before the fancy carpenters started construction.  At some point in the process he would send us to the scrappers to recycle the metal we had pulled from the building.

We harvested this copper from our building, primarily from the heating system, kitchens and bathrooms that are being demolished. It may not look like much, but it is about 180 pounds of copper.

The metal mongers currently pay about $2.30 per pound for copper, which is about $414. They pay cash. That is 2 new toilets that I don’t have to buy. Bonus.

  6. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  7. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  8. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  9. I am in fact glad to glance at this web site posts which includes plenty of valuable facts, thanks for providing these information.

  12. Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    water saving window cleaning tools and equipment. Just because you don’t have someone renting out the
    property, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have it maintains, and
    it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have the windows cleaned on a regular basis.

  17. Thanks for another great article. The place else may anybody get that type of information in such an ideal means of writing?

  20. The very next time I read a blog, Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint me as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I genuinely thought you’d have something useful to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something that you could possibly fix if you were not too busy looking for attention.

  21. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
