And more, not sure how much of this I will sort today, some is quite slow to do, but need to separate the stainless from all other metals to get the best price, Rick

You have your work it out there Rick.

I’m just mustering the enthusiasm to nip out to the truck and give it a little more waxoyl before putting wheel back on and moving it. If I can be bothered I’ll jack it up and cut some more rot out but I’ll need to be able to move it again tomorrow morning to make room for the oven being delivered.

Well got a trailer load ready to go tomorrow if I have time, all iron apart from the black tank full of copper, Rick

jims-terrano · 03-12-2017, 21:40

Not sure how much the iron will be worth much but you should get a little for the copper, every little as they say

solarman216 · 03-12-2017, 21:59

The copper should fetch around £200 the iron probably less than a tonne so about £45, we will see when I take it over, only about a ten mile round trip, Rick

Well I’ve had an interesting few days. On Wednesday I went into hospital to have a total hip replacement, on Thursday morning it had dislocated its self so back down to theatre to have it put back. Well I’m back home now and resting but really BORED. Hospital food was ok as I was in a private ward but on the nhs so it was a quite pleasant experience when I have the other leg done next year I hope I’m in the same ward. So that’s my few days this week.

Here it is £3.60 per Kg at the mo Rick

jims-terrano · 05-12-2017, 00:25

Will have to dig all the copper out sometime and weigh it in but for the moment my plate is well and truly full to over flowing. One job at a time for me at the moment.
