blocks leftover

larry@stinescorner · Apr 30, 2010

I asked my boss if I could have a few leftover rock face block for a project I want to do at the farm, he said do me a favor and take all of them. There is 2 more loads like this. Probably around 100 8inch block.

It is amazing what people throw out , our yard manager is a neat freak and does not like anything laying around, He doesnt like what he calls a mess. I am always ready to help him clean up when it comes to good stuff like that!

5 years ago at my old place of employment we had a plant cleanup. Well.....Stuff was thrown out that was worth a small forture, Steady rests for 2 large engine lathes, worth $2000 easy, benches, fixtures, piles of file cabinets. 3 dumpsters full of it. (makes ya sick)
All because the plant manager wanted it "cleaned up" so the business could be sold, we didnt know that at the time. (this little weasel manager had a new job all set up for himself before the sale) A lot of people wanted sock this a$$hole in the mouth, including me.

I have always judged a job by the quality of plunder I could haul home. Best part of my job at the chicken factory was the take homes. The chickenbine we had used about 10' of #80 roller chain to turn the cage platforms around. They would break on the ends after about a month of getting hit with a forktruck. Took too long to put in master links, they were tossed. I have two 605C round balers, they will both be scraped long before I ever need to buy any chains for them.

Also the chikenbine had 6 conveyor belts on it. Boss man said there was not way to fix one when it stretched out so they were cut off and replaced. No way to count the uses I found for them, most economical is the disk mower I bought with out a curtain 6 years ago. Belt is still doing a good job on it.

Now at the water factory I come up with something good every now and then but for the most part all I get are clear 5 gallon jugs and 55 gallon plastic barrels. With the barrels I have hauled home I should not ever have to buy a feed trough ever again.
