  • Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

    In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur. I prowl the city streets in search of dumpster loot, curbside treasures & scrap metal as well as scour the river bottoms for lost valuables during the summer months when I can scrounge up enough money for gas.

    Mike that rolling cart is a hoyer lift for lifting people that can't walk, the base(feet) open and close. to open all the way keeps them stabilized by the weight of the patients so the hoyer doesn't tip over, most usually done over bed, tub or chairs.

    Got an idea for a new tool; take an old steel head garden rake and weld one or two small sized speaker magnets on the opposite side of the head ( away from the handle) so you can pull it through the piles of scrap in a container, so you don't have to pick through every little snipit and such. Good luck 🤞

    That Lincoln Electric Arc sensor is an automatic sensor for welding fume extractors. It starts the extractor fan as soon as it sees you start welding....... FYI they are about $1500.......
    Oh, and that first electrical box you couldn't remember the name of? Its a Variable Frequency Drive unit.... or VFD, or sometimes called a VSD where the S stands for speed instead of frequency.

    Those big round buckets that are stuck together, all you need to unstick them is to slide a thin piece of metal or wood like a slim-Jim etc., down the side of each one to allow air to get into the bottom of each and they’ll come right apart. 😊😘♥️🌈🇨🇦

    No wood should be placed in a dumpster, near every town there should be a wood buy center that is only a collection/holding center for chipboard manufacturing places. The yards must be clean and orderly at all times and frequently inspected.

    2:32 - 40 Thanks for the reply. Yes, you're right, there is no scrap lumber yard waiting to pay cash. But, and this is speculation, based upon my recent experience pricing/buying wood, I'd guess if you built up a pile of 2x4s you could easily sell the lot at half lumber-yard prices thru one of the regular online channels: You'd make way WAY more than on the wire.
