Metal gloat
I was looking for some metal to make sheds, carports, shades, like that. I
had a guy who was just a plain flake. Been trying to spend money with him for six months, but he was always busy. Turned out to be a hoarder who just didn't want to "really" sell anything. We have a local thing called "Tradio". It is live on AM radio. I called in for some rebar. The wife wants me to make some things that actually look like real ocotillos, and you just use rebar and cut out flowers from sheet metal. So, I goes to get some rebar a guy has. Well, he's got NEW 30' 8" zee purlins, sheets of 26 ga. galvalume and painted 36" cover steel paneling you use for the sides of buildings and roofs, Cees, door frames, tons of stuff. I got two loads of "stuff". I got new 8" 14 ga. Z purlins for about $1.75 a foot, and sheets of 36" wide painted panels NEW from 12' to 18' each for a flat rate of $5 per sheet. Capping, ridge cap, stuff, stuff, stuff. Boxes of about 3,000 5/16" self tapper self sealers, and just more "stuff", all new. In total, about 45 sheets, 150' 8" 14 ga. Z purlins, and a bunch of trim, capping, and fasteners. Soon as I get this Vegas job buttoned up, I'll be making some shade around here. Finally. Steve $555 total. |
