Make a mini series like you did before, when you were raising money to fix the truck. But this time it's how many loads will it take to pay for an axle.

Big shoutout to the homeowner that is employing Grandmas to revonate their home! I saw that 12pk of Michelob Ultra cans in that construction dumpster. I worked in the liquor industry for 15 years. No real man drinks that water, that is a product made for bad ass Grandmas that like to curse while playing bridge. 😂😂😂😂

Here are a few ideas of themes for future videos: #1- How to scrap a microwave without getting killed in the process; #2- How to scrap a refrigerator in an eco-friendly way; #3- Dumpster etiquette (relationship with other scrappers and dumpster owners); #4- Your required tools for starting a scrapping career; #5- Nurturing a relationship with the scrap yard- is it worth it?; #6- Is it OK to hoard scrap until market prices are favorable?; #7- Can you forecast market prices?, etc. Keep up the fun!

Too bad they don't have mini lift gates for smaller trucks, at least could you invest in a bag of play sand to sprinkle on slippery ice whenever you encounter it ? It instantly turns a skating rink into a giant piece of grippey sand paper.

@GeorgiaDogScrapper 6 ай бұрын

Instead of torsion axle, you can find a regular axle with springs and hangers on it. Get some angle iron and weld hangers to angle iron. Then position the axle in the correct location on the trailer, drill 4 holes at least 3/4" diameter and then bolted the axle assembly to the trailer frame. Easiest way to get it mobile and a lot cheaper. Plus you can choose what weight axle you want to put under it.

I once found a full size fire hydrant sitting in a parking lot completely disconnected. I'm pretty sure I left my testicles back there trying to get it in the truck and hidden into an old freezer..Pretty sure scrap yards don't technically accept them..And who knew an old chest freezer could be so heavy? Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.. 😅
