Default Update on cutting that metal in the field.

I ended up borrowing a generator, sawzall and took my handy chainsaw.
Ended up getting (2) 16 foot sections of 10 inch junior beam out of
the back and a truck load of decent 1.25 angle. The beam is better
than I thought it would be since I thought it would have stamped
channel.

There's about (2) 25 foot sections of beam left and another truck load
of channel there that I believe I'll grab this weekend.


Do any of you guys love building up piles of material? I'm a bad pack
rat, and the wife is growing furious...

Tell me about it...
But the price of steel is getting stupid high, now. Even scrap dealers are
giving in, and payin sumpn for it.

You might better ask "Do any of you guys NOT love building up piles of
material?". Some don't - quoting Teenut:
"Just bear in mind always, that the scrap yard (or Bin) is a wonderful
Slave..But a terrible Master!

eight months and three days! ;^)"

Just throw your small O/A tanks in the back of the truck and burn up
whatever steel you find.
