yep.... i have lowered myself to stripping.... well with the prices that they offer these days..... i just couldnt refuse it...
it will take a bit of time...... but in the end i am hoping that they will be a large amount of money going into my DayDream Fund....I do it in the evenings , once i have sorted the family out etc.... so its not interfering with anything else i do..... except trying to finish a shabby chic project that i have got on the go...
Ok its NOT that type of stripping..... you lot.... what are you thinking...lol.......
As you know i weighed in my alu cans this weeks, and found out that the pirce of scrap metal is very high at the mo..... so we are sorting out hubby's stash of bike/car bits, plus what he has still got up his mother's garage.... we actually found a remains of one of his land rovers.... which we honestly thought had gone...lol...
there was also an old copper tank there from when hubby's mother had her cental heating changed a few years back.... so as one does.... i phoned the scrap metal merchant to find out the price of various scrap......FLIPPING NORAS !!!!!!!!!!! they are buing copper for 3 thousand pound a ton.... alu cans are 5 hundred pounds a tone .and steel cans , which they never used to buy before ,they are now offering £150 per ton....
soooooo i have been stripping all the old electrical things that have broken that hubby has stashed 'thinking' that the inner bits might come in handy for something...lol.... yep they certainly came in handy.. for me to strip to copper from the cables etc....
so in a nutshell i have been stripping wire cables etc for the copper.....and also keeping the brass pins in hte plugs etc.....
We also go through about 10/12 tins of pet food everyday, which we wash and put out for the recycling every week, because they are steel....... not any more..... they are going to be kept and weighed in..... even if its just a few £££££'s every now and again....
ok.... you can get the straight jacket now.... i have def lost the plot.....how sad am i..... stripping in front of the tely every night......hahahahaha

Oh Heather I may start stripping for money too, sounds like a plan, lol, I can just see us all now sitting at the back step all chatting and stripping and laughing together. *Bliss*
I can just see your lovely back garden turning into a scrap heap!
lol.....if the back turns into a scrap heap.... it will only balance with the front, with hubby's cars and bikes....which by the way.. will be striped and weighed in.... well one of them anyway.... i might as well get the money rather than the scrap man that comes round...
angel..... i must admit i secretly injoy it,,, but its a bit hard on the old hands..
Brilliant idea - well done. You are so clever at finding out ways of getting squids in. xxx
I'm going to get DH to start sorting the shed I think, everything we've ever owned (electrical) that's conked he has kept the cables, just in case they com in handy, though I'm not sure we could run to 1lb let alone a ton.
Just thinking of a headline........
"Heather strips for dream.." LOL
Love and blessings

Elaine... you dont have to have a ton.... its just so you know the price. so it works out a £3 per kg
what ever weight you end up with thats how much they will pay you for.
also brass and copper ornements can be weighed in too...pitty i gave some to the charity shop a few weeks ago...
I'll bare that in mind, thanks Heather.
