He picks up other people's junk for them and cashes it in. We also pick up alluminum cans along side the road too. Every little bit counts. My husband “scrapes” all the time.

As it is, we had to borrow my fil's heavy duty flatbed trailer to cart it all to the metal yard! My daughters love to hoard things too...they see everything as an item that bears *potential* crafting possibilities! Drives me batty sometimes! Before and after photos--now there's a good idea!

Any chance of some before and after photos Mary? <em>Amy's last blog post..<a href='http://petticoat-lane.co.nz/home/?p=61'>Changing me</a></em> I love decluttering, unfortunately mine doesn’t extend to engines and spare parts etc. More like my daughters room which looks like a hoarder’s heaven sometimes lol.

I have a long ways to go...so does dh, for that matter! Susie, we saw a combine at the metal yard! Thankfully, with it being a relatively small town, there wasn't a line, but I noticed loadfuls came through pretty regularly while they were unloading us. That is so interesting, about people making the most of this. My dh and I were thinking of all the farms around us with acres of old machinery. There's a killing to be made, if you had the time and equipment to go "clean up" people's property! Yup, the decluttering part isn’t that much fun…but the satisfaction when done is awesome!

My dad - must be the farmer in them! - loves to collect old cars. He's already sold two old combines and I'm hopeful these prices will inspire more sell offs. My teenage nephew is working out a deal to sell the scrap on the shares. I did a news article last summer about metal prices.
