    I also scored this portable countertop dishwasher (at least I think that’s what it was) from the farm where I got the scrap above…

    Amanda’s neighbor, the semi-retired HVAC tech, gave a me a water heater and an old oil boiler; I also got some copper!

    I came across this stove and microwave while driving a car home from a customer’s house; I’m obviously not going to fit a stove in a Nissan Sentra (microwave would have fit), so I came back with the truck after work and they were still there, so I took them!

    I ended up having to take a few of the doors back because the scrapyard won’t take them with glass…

    I would have went out of the yard, broke glass out in the bed, scrapped, swept out glass and put in trash. :rofl:

    The scrapyard was about to close, and I didn't have to bring them back to my own property, plus I had a schedule to keep...
