Red Neck pool draining

[RED333 1,025]

Pool had a leak, would loose about 3 to 4 inches a day,to old to try and fix, so we just had to drain it.

Pics of the recoverd boolits

1st set, 44 cal 300 gr round nose

2nd set, 44 cal HB filled with powder coat and loaded backwards

3rd set, .690 ball from a 12 ga

4 set, 45 Colt

It was almost to much fun.

Fun shit! Thanks for sharing!

The "scrap" is steel, about a penny a pound, about 200 lbs total.

That sucks... May as well just pay someone to take it at that point vs. gas.

Too bad you didn't have access to a 50BMG. The 50cal really does a number with hydrostatic shock.

A true redneck will ad it to his steel pile, not to confused with the aluminum pile, copper pile, lead pile, or useful stuff pile. On the pile it will remain until the price goes up or a "shit load" of said material has been accumulated either way it will be then sold for beer money. Edited July 9, 2014 by sccritterkiller

I know that tactic and I usually don't bother with it. If I had acres of land I might keep that stuff around and make a pile or 10. Plus, 1/2 the time some jerk comes and steals your good "scrap" stuff. Not worth it to me at this point. I usually put stuff like that on C/L and let someone else reap the windfall of profit.

I can not make it work, the link from photobucket is not allowed, I am still trying youtube.

It would have been nice to see what those Mihec 10mm/ 40 cal Hps would do.

 

Thanks for the thread.

Locally they are paying us 7 cents a pound for clean steel last scrap run. Its 10.8 cents a pound in Orlando.. Its almost worth bringing in depending on your distance to a scrap yard and effort involved.. Especially if your underestimating the weight.. I remember years ago bringing in Aluminum siding, I figured we had about 150+ lbs, turns out we had about 900 lbs at 60+ cents a pound.

 

I worked for a guy that always threw all the metal in the dumpster. I talked him into letting me pile it up to save the dumpster fee, he got $600+ in scrap off a large house remodel, while saving $200 in dump fees.

 

I'm required by Florida state law to recycle all metals. We are fairly proficient at recycling, to the point that my shop trash is pretty much dirt and candy wrappers.

It also never hurts to cart steel on a rainy day...

 

I've carted alot of scarp before hence my unwillingness to do it now.
