A couple of weeks ago, I posted a message about a huge machine that I
bought for scrap.

I thought that I would follow up.

It took 2x as long as I expected, to disassemble it, load on the truck
and take t scrap yard. However, despite dire warnings, everything went
smoothly with no accidents or big troubles. We used up about six fire
extinguishers.

After I got all the weights, the machine weighed 53 tons, out of which
50 tons was steel/cast iron, and 3 tons were motors and copper wire
and miscellaneous parts to be sold as usable.

THAT was certainly "young-man work"! So, Advil or Aleve?

No, but, I did not sleep well two nights during that time. One, when I
was worried that there was no weight that I anticipated. Another
night, when I was worried that my forklifts were not enough.



Must'a felt good when it all came together! Congrats!

Yes, like if you would have sold a semi truck load of your brushes,
prepaid.
