sorting it all out
« on: October 06, 2012, 04:19:44 PM »
great site! I spent the last hour or so as a guest and it seems to cover everything I am looking for. I am cleaning up a junkyard that my dad started back in the 60's. I am down to emptying out the sheds and keep putting the tools I find in a bucket and saving them for later. Buckets grew to 5 gallon size and there are 10 or so, and probably ansother 20 when everything makes it thru the sorting process. I admit alot got tossed as scrap either because it was pretty far gone or I didnt have time to sort because bills were due.  I registered today mainly so I can look up oddball stuff and find out what it is. I probably will be trying to sell some of the things that shouldn't be made into weird sculptures. I will post pics as I dig things out into the open. 2 or 3 school buses full, various vans and station wagons full of junk and yellow jackets.
