>never have enough of those
HHH, true enough. I really *need* an excavator ...but Louise said no.
>doing there
Looking for cheap aluminum structural materials --a particular size of pipe this time. BUT this guy runs a unique operation, as he pulls aside "items of interest" (like antiques and collectibles) or stuff that has a good chance of resell at a higher price than he'll get for crushing it. Most scrapyards will set aside common resale items like I-beams or alloy wheels, but he goes waaaay beyond that and has a good-sized plot of land where he lines stuff up like a flea market --everything from toys & lawnmowers to vehicles & trailers. I'm told that his wife started the flea market because she was seeing antique toys go in the crusher. Anyway, he has a good retail trade now --particularly for lawn tractor parts.
