the Saturday scrap metal run

Saturday morning found us raring to go. After days, the sun was out. This meant not only a great day to make hay but also to heat water and hang laundry on the line!

Showered, we cleared the basement of the construction debris, and sorted various metals for our local scrap yard: Geppert Scrap Metals on Wayne Ave in Germantown. They're open most days till 2p, but call 215 842 0122 to check. Today's rate was $1 per pound of copper, $0.50ea per lound of brass, and $0.40 per pound of aluminum. We returned from the scrap run with an additional $30 in our pockets.
