It's better than paying $46.00 to dump it at the landfill.
You should cut your pipe into 4-5 foot lengths and screw them to the sides of 5 gallon buckets and put some rocks in the bottom and sink them into your pond for non eroding fish structure. Bass, crappie, and blue gill love to suspend off of them. I have done the same to many of my ponds and the fish love them. Mark them with Hunstand app and you will always know where they are so you can jig off them
Breaking out in hives.....never throw undamaged barn tin out. 2 bucks says you will need a piece of white tin next week.
Nice to be with you, it was nice you took the whole way to recycle yard. Good video.
Hello from the Netherlands .
thanks for the video .
Sincerely, Hollandduck
I make a trip to that scrap yard once or twice a week if I have Friday off work and they are the only scrap yard open on Saturdays I have people bring stuff to my house and throw it on my trailer or I go clean up scrap for people at their property I've done it since before I could drive my grandpa and dad got me started into it sometimes you come across stuff I can use or make it work with a little engineering it's always interesting what we come across but when I haul a load it is heaping on the trailer and I ease it through the country down to H & S Recycling i could hear the older guy talking on there that helps you unload he is a hoot when he gets wound up and starts throwing stuff off the trailer if you need an extra metal barrels to put scrap in I have plenty with removable lids you could have a couple if you want them
I'm liking that tym tractor.
Hi Evan and Rebecca, If you ever have any old wiring (that contains copper wire) that you have lying around throw it in a bon-fire and watch all the beautiful colors that appear, purples and greens, turquoize(?spelling?), yellows, etc... it is truly beautiful, enjoy your videos very much, have a blessed weekend
Evan my husband found your channel and we watch your videos every night while we eat dinner. You are helping him have just enough guilt by your wonderful work ethic so that he is getting more done around our place - so thank you!
Wish mine would watch it. LOL
On the oak 2x4s make some thin strips of wood and put them between the layers of wood to promote air flow. Also covering it with a tarp will help to control the moisture.
I agree Alan. The strips would keep it dry inside and covered it will last pretty much forever.

Way to go Evan, makes it easier know that you have made your first haul off of scrap iron. Helps to keep the grounds safer for everyone and the animals too. Stay safe around there and keep having fun with all you are doing. Fred.
JudithB Scrap metal, misc parts n pieces pile up over time and its such a relief to haul it off. Feels good to clean up and more able to use the clean areas. Using the cement pads will be really nice not to wade in mud to fill the water and feed troughs too!!! I am taking the tin off the old rabbit cages, cutting them to size and putting them on the bottom of the greenhouse today. Yesterday I removed the old plexi and cut and hung the new plexi on the top of the wall. More sunlight coming in and no holes from mower rocks. I will still have to strip the east wall when I find more tin. The old rabbit cages will have to be stripped and taken apart this winter, dry rot. New metal cages are waiting for frame shelves to be built inside the barn. Hopefully this week with cooler weather will be very productive here!!
$130 a ton here in central IL as of last weekend unless it went down, I have a load on the trailer right now that I am taking in the morning its great to get scrap hauled off!!! Keep up the great work!!!
A lot of people don't realize that the scrap yard will pay you for it.
@@Truthandlight66 fall hobby of mine I made $1400 last fall junking August, September and October I am at $280 right now and I have probably 3 loads left after I take the load in the morning and all the good stuff, I am hoping to hit $1,000 this year
At least you can buy a few screws or nails with the $46.00. That beats a poke in the eye with a stick. Have a Blessed day.
LOL Haven't heard that saying for a long time!
@@rkthing55 Glad I could give you a chuckle.
Love the black and brown on the barn.
Our scrap yard has a big electro magnet. And just picks every thing up nice and clean
You need to restack that lumber so that there are air gaps between each layer. It will dry it out and stop it rotting.
We have "scrappers' around here that will take just about anything. I have no idea how they make any money especially at the price of gasoline today, if I set something metal out at the edge of the road it's gone in a day or so.
Good idea for using those foundations, but realize a confinement lot will quickly turn into aud bog. Our barn lot was about an acre and it only grew a few weeds and was a muddy mess in the Spring and any other wet stretch. We did have a rock reinforced road to get to the corn crib, but even that got iffy at times. Livestock's hooves just churn up the ground.
Nothing more satisfying than cleaning up old junk and getting money out of it while clearing you property of junk. Good job Evan, enjoyed the video, have a great week.
We are doing the same thing, only its furniture we are selling! Lol
My mother was born and raised in Goreville, Illinois. I still have lots family there.
Thin pieces of wood in between the wood to dry it out
Nice Nathan now you have done it,you will due it again. Great videos, great job
Like your videos. Crazy how easy it it to recycle. Ticks me off how people dump stuff on the side of the road instead of dragging their lazy butts to the dump.
Great Job...You have so much energy, too. Just love to watch all your projects get done.....Thanks and see you again soon .
Scrap yards around me aren't open on weekends generally so I end up collecting for several years until the neighbors complain about the junk. It's good for a couple hundred bucks and the "collecting" part is free or extremely low cost. Picking stuff up on my way to and from somewhere or scrap generated from the shop fab projects.
You could use some of the pieces of sheet metal to make a roof for an exterior shed for pigs, chicken, turkeys
I sure someone has already mentioned this, however, consider if you put a water tank on the concrete and it could freeze and be very slick. Love you channel, keep up the good work.
You always feel better when ya get junk cleaned up & out.
Super JEALOUS!! Wearing a sweatshirt! We were 93 today down here in New Orleans. But,, no hurricanes yet this year so I guess I should shut up!!!
I could have sworn I was subscribed to your channel and now I am not, just subscribed again when you popped up on ours. Your fencing videos have been something I watched a lot of. Congratulations on the 100k milestone!
Thanks Kelly
Evan, you might consider a small dump trailer. We purchased an old farmstead about five years ago and we have taken over 60,000 lbs. of debris and scrap to the dump and recycle. It really made a hard job easy. Our scrap yard and dump does not unload fir you.
Enjoy watching two hard working people make their farm better and better with each passing season . Great channel .
I have been wanting to make a trip to the scrap yard for the past year and still haven’t made it 😂 it seems like it’s one thing after another happening around here
Have you thought about concreting the area between the two concrete rings to make a large slab to keep the animals out of the mud and easy to clean up with the tractor?
It's good you can get rid of the scraps and make a little money in the process.
Looks good. It always feels good when you can get some junk cleaned up. Great video.
Let's hear it for the TYM. that helped a lot. Nice adventure Evan, thanks for taking us along.
I do some scrap metal too. I separate, aluminum and electrical wire and then the rest just scrap metal.
The pond is looking good
Evan use sticker whenever stacking lumber that way air can circulate around it
Hello Evan...just saw a video on a channel Tokata Coan..dd 19/05 2019....may be helpful ..take a look.
put thin battens between the wood to allow air round thenm slow the rot like jenga stack
A little tip for the barrel.
Drill 2 holes just under the rim at the top, opposite each other. Get a piece of chain and 2 D shackles, or something similar. this makes it much easier to lift on trailer, with a fork, and place where you want it. No need for a pallet.
If you keep it out side drill a few holes in the bottom just above the ring, so rain will run out.
Hi Evan... thanks for the interesting video today. I also wanted to mention some of your other high producing videos. In the past four months, these vids have done really well:
"Big Jobs Need Big Tools" - 1.7 million views
"I Think I Killed All the Fish" - 701K views;
"Collecting Duckweed" - 353K views "Pigs Learn Not to Chew Electric Fence" - 221K views.
Congrats to you and Rebekah for producing great TH-cam content.
Y’all sure have done serious work cleaning up the place, but look how it’s paying off!
I am amazed they gave you any money considering how highly rusted it was
Thank you
When we moved from Florida to Missouri and there was so much junk everywhere, we got a roll off to help with the cleanup. We have so far loaded 3 of them and now picking up more stuff ready for another one. We have 2 big buildings, one for my stuff and one that my wife can park her car in, along with tractor and a trailer. There was a small metal shed that my wife said to take care of. So with the help of the tractor and bucket and using the forks smashed it into a small amount for dumping in the next roll off. I use to love tearing up junk at work with my forklift and sometimes maintenance would call me for more fun.
I used my sheet metal off my roof to make some raised bed planters. Some big some small. Some for peppers others for flowers or herbs.
Get those boards under cover and put breather strips stacked between them
Nice to get the metal hauled away!! 👍🏻
I wish you had put those registers in your sander and cleaned them up. I think they would have been pretty maybe painted. I like junk😊
I thought the same thing lol I was a fleamarket freak lol ! I’d bought those just to make something pretty ! 😊
Old bed springs could be used to drag your Duck Weed from your pond!
Anytime I've tried to haul off scrap I've had to wait in line for like 15 or 20 minutes.
Hi from New Zealand. That looked really satisfying Evan. A couple of years ago I got rid of a load of scrap metal & received 18c per Kg ... about 9c /lb. So it looks to be a similar value in US/NZ.
As a scrapper I take everything to get recycled to keep it out of the landfills. But can only do it when I am not working. Good video.
I have a friend or two in Kansas who scrap metal and they have people bring their scrap metal they won’t just get rid of it they don’t pay them they just say bring it by will take it for you and like many people they just want to get rid of it specially farmers and stuff and they divide their items of metal out in their field basically like you said,… Big autos or farm equipment (of course the rubber tires have to be taken off)… they don’t have time for you to bring it there and then started messing around with removing tires… And then big metal like your dumpster barrels etc. and small nuts and bolts in another pile and then wire etc. and he just saw Judy as a system. Then he watches the price of metal and he will drive a certain distance according to the price of metal, and because he’s got so much farmland, he can afford to wait for the price to go up or down and he will haul on the days that he can get the most money on that day. You’ve been doing it for quite a while so he knows what kind of money he’s going to make and how far he hast to drive to get it and of course you have to calculate the price of gas in your cost as well but he actually makes a very good side living off of it and he’s an auctioneer as well. I used to work for him and his sons and his wife and myself and one other gentleman all worked for him until my mother got cancer and I had to move to Iowa, to help support not only my mother but my siblings in her care and I understand he’s giving up the auction business now and just does the metal recycling business and I believe his wife said he was tinkering in a couple other things as well I’m self but, for those of you who are interested there is money in sorting and hauling metal if you want to do it even if you just do it for yourself. You just have to watch the market!!!
I really like your videos because they’re interesting and you’re different almost every time and you’re real in terms of what you’re doing and farm life and you’re not trying to be somebody you’re not and I just really value your show Cancun and yourself!! If I haven’t said it before do you have a beautiful farm Home & Farm land and I can tell you take pride in both❣️❣️❣️❣️
Our local recycling center in MD doesn't like the metal wire. Good luck
Hello Evan have a good day.
If you have a joiner and a planer,you could square all those 2x4s right up,and make a nice looking work bench or table out of them.
Thx again
WTG Evan… Interesting video.
How's about using that concrete pad as an outside implement staging/parking area? Anyway, good job on cleaning up your place. Everyone can and should do it once in a while!
Always enjoy your sharing your Farmers Market videos. So good to see the smiling faces on the shoppers, and the different wares of the venders.Lots of fun seeing you greeting the shoppers.
I think your talking about Pete on just a few acres this channel is not him
Hey at least you got some gas money back. 👍
how about a greenhouse for the concrete pad? it is a pretty open area for sunshine.
This is crazy about roofing panels you got rid of it ...
Great job Even. It’s good to have a clean up.it’s going to look good all tidied up.
Any update on the fish in the pond?
If you get enough to pay for gas for the trip. It's a win.
Damn. Seeing this reminds me of why history is so easily lost. We'd rather throw away cool stuff bc its easy and "not worth my time" than just give it away to an antique or junk shop.
Just found and started following your channel! Great content, like how you demonstrate and explain what you do ask you do your chores!
What a relief to get that junk gone! I don't have land to clear but a 3-bed trailer. Been here over 9 years and still getting rid of unwanted stuff via donations and garbage bins. My rule is once it's out the door, it is not coming back in. I do not buy new to replace old.
Good job
Some of that scrap metal will become part of that new Ford F150 chassis, re-bar, etc one day. Iron's one of the most abundant elements found on this planet.
Awesome!
Gotta love that TYM.
Nice job
sure like you to see you paint barn and roof, you will get many more years of service
Suggestion = if you are going to use that acre as a winter holding pen, what about building a Shed over one of the old grain bin foundations so the cattle are not standing in MUD. They would be able to bed down on something dry.
You know how cows and pigs end up tromping in the winter when it rains & snows then melts and the animals turn evrything into a MUD HOLE. Pete had that problem in his barn this last spring.
The harrow works better to over seed fields than the seeder you used .
Wel done. In Holland you say cleared up looks tidy.
Brings back memories for me of the rag and bone men here in the UK, rather unbelievably now going up and down the roads on horse and cart ringing their bell, calling out 'any old iron', and carrying off people's scrap, lol.
Did that happen in the US?
In my area in the US we can put about anything on the curb for monday garbage pickup day. Any metal will be picked up by scrappers before the city trucks arrive.
Try I scrap app gives you a idea of prices of metal of all kinds .
Put your winches on the passenger side so if you have to stop to tighten them up you won’t be standing in traffic
I want to see you paint the barn.
Good video Evan. I’ve made a few runs to the scrap yard recently myself doing the same thing you’re doing. Don’t know why previous owners left so much junk laying around. Locally, no one takes barbed wire so we’ve been forced to put it in a dumpster. Not a best solution but no choice. I’ll be watching future videos. Love your content and quality.
Really enjoy your channel, we have an acreage too so can relate to what you experience on yours, keep them coming 😎
I could see the happiness on your face to be rid of the metal trash.
re rotting 2 x 4's: I once saw where someone covered their wood with a tarp. It seemed to work pretty well as rain water stayed off the wood. Just a thought to share ...
It doesn't be long gathering up a pile of old metal in this line of work. Often more hassle than its worth taking it to the scrap yard but it has to be done.
Every old farm hides a mountain of old metal. Machines, fencing, roofing, household. If it was all collected and recycled Id guess we wouldnt need to mine iron for a year.
Went through what you did a few weeks ago..Seems like when you think ya got it all…..there’s more scrap..😎
You could of got that for 5he cast grates , at auction
My grandpa would have beat you for scrapping that metal roofing. 😆 we can use that...for something. Enough money for beer and cook the wife a nice steak.
looks like those garage door panels could make sides for you pig shelter.
I wanted to see the end clean up too…lol😢
Weird how the scrap metal merchant doesn't separate out the rubber tyres from the heap.
Stickers
Evan, how is the pond going? Have you decided whether you are gonna get it dredged?
I’m thinking years ago people didn’t have any place to take scrap metal to so it ended up scattered all over the farm.
Hopefully you don’t get a flat tire from the trip. I was always nervous about that when scrapping.
