[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

I hate snow. And I do not make or watch tictok it’s a Chinese way of getting all your info

[@chrislessig5277]

@@ScrappingwithGrandpa sorry

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Tick-tock is not good my friend you should delete it. China is using it for stealing American information.

Amazing load of scrap

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Thank you, Road House

Fancy being a scrapper and not having a bag of tools in the truck 😅

[@christopherjacobs2746]

Yup, I have a small toolbox with everything in it I would ever need and I leave it in my truck all the time.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

I will have 1 this week

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Usually, I will just grab what I need and bring it with me but from now on I’m putting a toolbox together just for my truck

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Appreciate it

[@gloriamccarthy4800]

That a great haul! Awesome video my friend!

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Thanks for the visit

[@88clemoine]

Nice haul. Almost looks like the scrapyard wets everything down so you’ll take mud across the scales to counter your weight. Hahaha.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

It’s been raining here but you are right. I will lose weight with all that mud on my tires.

[@erichorsan6993]

Great job, great video. Glad you got the aluminum. Love Southern Metals.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Me too! Southern metals is great.

Hey I'm 6'1 290lbs and not a freak but not fat just a big guy and I can tell you this guys a hoss throwing them water heaters around and file cabinets. Loading refrigerators by himself. Nice trailer and operation and dudes motivated and capable. You got my sub man. Oh yea to add I'm 41. He is a hoss.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Thank you D Davis. Hard work pays off. I’m 60. I’ve done hard work all my life. My dad was a big guy. Not fat but a big guy. And I worked hard with him every day. Thank you for the sub. I’m not going to stop unless I just can’t do it anymore. Blessed

[@HeavyDKC1]

@@ScrappingwithGrandpa you still got it hoss. Throwing things around I struggle with. Had me like damn thats one of them grandpa's you dont want to smart off too lol. Looks like you got allot of good years left in ya bud.

[@souldasherjoanie7517]

Love those machines

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Gosh yes. I want to run 1 of them

[@luketippey8664]

Great haul!! On dryers if it dont have a cord most likely if a appliance dealer deliverys they take the old cord because it cant be used on the new dryer because of fire risk or they throw it away, Now on the homeowner side they might reuse the old cord on the new dryer and thats why it doset have one. but I agree 100% on all other appliances!! Have a great day!!! I sent you more pictures of my project!!

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Good point! I love you scrap trailer. It will be easy to heat and cool

Inside a water heater is a tank with Galvanize coating on the outside , Any metals with galvanize coating is not considered as #1 steel. Water heaters have bb copper wires sliver contacts, brass and Copper. The heating elements some scrap yards will buy.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

I sell heating elements. It is called dirty, stainless. Like the ones on stoves I always save my electric stove pieces. They are dirty, stainless.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

I noticed they always separate hot water heaters at My yard. That’s good information. Thank you.

[@nellomichi6416]

What is the inside of a water heater made of? The tank of a water heater consists of a steel outer jacket that encloses a pressure-tested water storage tank. This inner tank is made of high-quality steel with a vitreous glass or plastic layer bonded to the inside surface to prevent rusting

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Thank you for that very interesting

[@franciscavallone124]

Just to remember to leave slack when dump is up!

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

[@richardyoung2652]

Have a small sludge hammer with you at all times. Just kidding . Nice job

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

I have a torn, rotator cuff, so I’m careful swinging a hammer. That is how I tore my rotator.

[@gulfcoastacrscrapper6523]

So on your previous video you said if worst case scenario to take the cords now you say don't take the cords. 😂

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

If you’re driving around, just cutting cords that is not a good thing. Save it for the Scrapper who picks up the machine. If you happen to be loaded or you cannot lift the piece into your truck take the cord. I’m not suggesting you take the cord and not the machine I’m just suggesting worst-case scenario if you can’t lift the item into your truck because you’re by yourself you might want to just take the cord. If you’re driving around, just cutting cords off of everything and leaving everything else I don’t like that that’s what I’m talking about.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Like you said, worst case scenario

[@gulfcoastacrscrapper6523]

lmao Drew

[@franciscavallone124]

Why not get a wench up on the back of the trailer your battery is right their.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

I just bought 1. I need to get it hooked up

[@John-ye9sp]

Why dont have hand truck.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

[@gulfcoastacrscrapper6523]

You are getting $170.00 a ton at the scrap yard?

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

I get between 7.5 cent to 8.5 cents on shred

[@DanFogle]

Should never do break down at the customers place, unless they suggest it.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Good tip

[@careyflorence5673]

Will you please be careful of your back, you only get one to a customer you know. I don't want you spending the rest of your life in misery as I do.

[@ScrappingwithGrandpa]

Gosh. I know my friend. I work alone most of the time. I hate leaving anything behind.
