Anyone ever stripped the finish off an 1101/2?

I look at metal materials as a bank account. I'm still using heavy angle, extremely heavy angle and I beams from buying a bridge that was taken down and stored by our county... 90 tons.

You have no excuse not to have a shop!!! It might be an unconventional design, but it wouldn’t blow away!

Even cash flow wouldn’t stop me at that point. “Uh, mr banker, I’d like to finance my slab over 30 years please”.

Kidding of course. But, that was quite a score on the steel. Or was it a steal?

Had to outbid a scrap company on the bridge steel....still made money as a lot got made to 2' and the price was $330/ton for the scrap at the time. I'm eyeing some beams from it for a mod to the M322 trailer.

I used the money from selling my shop to buy 43 acres. Not willing to sell any land now to get the shop, in fact want the 10 acres to the north of me. So kinda in a catch 22.

They build shops all the time. They ain’t making any more Land. (Except for the Chinese making that island)
