Scrap Metal From Some  60 Years Collecting

If you’ve been following along, you know that our family has spent from January of 2022 until the November wedding preparing the property for over 100 guests.  Twenty benches were built by Buddy, our family friend to accommodate as many as 120 people. We expected about 100.

From start to finish and yes, even until the last day and since, we have found scrap metal pieces on the property.  It began with the demolition of the barn which had been built in the 1960’s and filled often with “stuff”.  From there to the pole barn, the camper, the burn piles to the general junk areas, scrap was removed and either hauled to the road ( 23 loads at the most recent count) or given to scrappers literally coming and hauling away pounds and pounds of scrap.

One scrapper hauled away at least 15 heavy galvanized car jacks along with tubs, basins, an auto transmission and more.

In the night of the wedding, we were folding the white curtains we had placed as a back drop on the barn and attached to the fold was a piece of scrap metal hanging by a thread.  We all had to laugh.

See you tomorrow,
