Cable, phone and internet have

been out from about 6am-11:15am.

Last night we went over to Tony's

work to pick up a bucket of scrap metal

he's been collecting.  When he does

jobs that require to replace plumbing

or what not he saves all those pieces

to take to the scrap recycling center.

We can easily get about $75 to

$150 for one 5 gallon bucket full

of brass, copper and aluminum.

According to Recycling Exchange

the price of brass (which is the 

heaviest metal we have) is $1.30 a pound.

Copper ranges from $2.85 to $3.10 a pound.

And aluminum is .50 to .60 cents

a pound depending on  the type it is

from cans to building material.

Of course the kids did a lil DDn

while we were by the shop.

Here's what they found-

Brand new pair of Arizona

skinny jeans with price tag of $36.

LG cell phone with charger.

Small beaded heart pillow.

Brutus bean bag.

 Vanilla scented sticks with bottle.

 Also 2 rolls of Christmas wrapping paper

and a pair of shorts.

Also yesterday while working Tony

found some paint.  I'm hoping to 

start working on painting the 

bathroom walls and tub soon.

Yesterday I also got 2 cans

of free Glidden paint in the mail.

We now have Winter Breeze,

Stingray & Serenity in the cans to

the right and

Slate Green and Quiet Rain

in the cans to the left.

They are all pretty much a white

to a very light blue to a grayish blue green.

11:00am

I got the bathtub scrubbed out

as much as I could.  Now I need to 

find some sand paper and sand it some.

Then I want to start painting it

with some white appliance paint.

Well I give up posting for today.
I went to post something and
submit it only to find that more than half
the stuff I posted disappeared.
