Scrapping All the Metal From a SCRAP HOARDER'S House!

Absolutely massive haul of scrap metal on this one!!! We got the call to help clean up a SCRAPPING HOARDER'S estate sale, he left the property in quite a state and now WE get to hop in and haul away all the leftovers! Recycling metal can be an adventure, and this one certainly was!

I love it that you don't have the background music playing when you are talking. Great video, thank you for the entertainment

[@jussitikkuri6991]

Thub... My Hero......My Brother... My Kindred Spirit... My Guru 🙏😇 But ya know.... Even Guru's sometimes need help. Selling some of those scrapped items were much more valuable than as scrap metal. I'm glad you rescued the Alcohol Stoves. I'm torn on that aluminum table that you destroyed so brazenly. If that was a vintage table it woulda been worth big bucks. And did any of the chairs go with it ? Kudos on saving those propellers because I know the value on vintage marine items. Nice job overall my guy. I know that being there and watching it all from the comfort of my E-Z-Liner are two way different shows. My affinity to metals and vintage anything kept me jealous and entertained.

[@thechad8997]

If I lived anywhere near you, I'd volunteer to come help you move stuff around just for the exercise, experience, and knowledge that comes with being around someone that knows this field like you do. Seems like great company and looks like a lot of fun!

If that scrap hoarder house excites you, you ought to see my buddy's house and yard- an acre full of lawnmowers,appliances, and everything under the sun. House packed to the rafters with copper wire and pipe and brass. A lot of that stuff would be good for flea market resale.

[@iantuck6364]

At 21:07 in the video you can see an oblong box on the side of the tire with the number 3107 in it. That means that tire was made the 31rst week of 2007. It is old rubber and no longer safe, so good thing they do not fit.

that blue pump you found is called a "hydrolift" and is used in collecting groundwater out of wells for testing. its basically an electric motor that drives a piston up and down, that connects to tubing in the well that when moved up and down forces water into the tube and up to the surface for collection. sounds fancy but basically worthless, good for scrap!

[@netook8]

@@thubprint they are pretty cheap in costal Canada too. BC and esp in the Maritimes, but the thing that draws folks away is you have to sail it though really stormy northern waters to where you want it

[@irenelacour3486]

Wow that was a good haul. Here in Texas you would have made double the money. But I think Calgary is beautiful and I am sure no amount of money would you leave such a beautiful place. Great video. I love how you tell us the different kinds of metals. Keep pushing

[@aggressivemediocrity]

I totally understand, you have to move it along or run the risk of becoming a overwhelmed hoarder. And $1200 split is an excellent pay day, Great video!

[@thubprint]

Thanks! And yeah, I imagine it should be fairly easy to see how it can get out of hand. I still appreciate when people point out things that they think I should sell because there’s so much value I don’t know about!

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

I don't know if I could do it, honestly. I've restored, repurposed, and salvaged too many things over the years to see something with potential scrapped or sold at a fraction of its worth. I mostly repair and rescue things that I can use, restore things that have historical/rare/antique significance, and keep an eye out for high quality alloys to use for smithing and machining. It's definitely a different mindset to have when dealing with business like this, as there's only so much time in a day to work on things. The dilemma being...do you end up hoarding stuff to save it, sell it to someone so they can restore it and you're out that potential money or cool thing, or just take it to the scrap yard and recycle it into something else? It's a tough call, because nobody else is going to store your junk when you run out of room lol

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

An exciting adventure indeed Thub! I still reckon you should become a dealer - and that's quite distinct from being a hoarder!! With your base YT income, renting a small shop (with a storage shed) and even just opening one day a week would open the doors to a whole range of future deals when the word gets out you do deceased estate clean-ups! Ok, ok - I'll stop going on about it! 🤣🤣

THIS I bet the Keel of that boat is filled with it...or was going to be...

[@thubprint]

I think that’s where his interest started, but he was definitely the kind of man who understood he could get the material for way less than it was worth, which is probably why he stacked up so much

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

Boat yards are the best place on earth to find lead. It's not unusual to see several tons worth of lead ingots stacked up somewhere out of the way. If you look around long enough, you can even find depleted uranium used for ballast in small overengineered sailboats...it's an expensive alloy to make but it's also beyond the capability of most to melt it down and repurpose it, which is how I ended up with more than I know what to do with for half the price of lead.
