    "Hello, yes 911? A crazy man just came and destroyed and stole my ceiling fan I painted and was letting dry by the curb. He was mumbling and talking to himself, I was afraid to confront him. Yes white pickup, has some wooden sides on the bed and he seemed very happy to destroy my stuff. Please help!" 🤣

      In fact tetris is easy to Mike comparing to his ability to packing Dottie to max. Soon he needs bigger truck to collect everything he sees around, with somekind of lifting thing.😎
      And I remember that, when he was worried about those extra "sides" on Dottie , if he can reach ower them, today not a slightest problem with that. Go Mike. 😀

    Check 0:24 on the chair, originals are collectable and some like the 'patina'.. That one is kind heavy on it but can be softened up.

    It makes me mad that I've been wasting time taking all the screws out and taking the blades off of old ceiling fans when I'm taking them down and not once did it occur to me that I could just break them off and be done with it. I guess you live and you learn. Thanks for being my teacher today Mike! 👍

    Good to see you picking again, did you know that there's other scrappers referring to you now, you're a household name Mike. There is a scrapper in N. Carolina, referred as Into The Unknown & he taped a magnet to his glove. I know you have a magnet on a stick but I think this could come in handy for you, especially when your always in the dumpster already, just a thought, great videos bruh. See that's the shit that's funny, no fun when you comes back & pops you in the jolly beans, your 1 funny dude.

    We rent a storage unit to separate our scrap , cause we don't have a big garage to store the copper and other metals. This last weekend a woman drove her car 6 foot into the unit next to ours. It didn't hurt anything of ours but it pulled the garage door off the track. We can't get in ours , until they fix it.
