I know the smoke came out, that bit was obvious but why? :-)

I found pics of the service line that I dragged home from an open top down the road. This stuff is pretty heavy, the insulation might weigh just as much as the metal though... It was all I could do to drag these two bundles one at a time 100 yards slightly uphill. Took about 30 -45 min to strip by hand, got $40 and they called it 'bare bright ' aluminum. Too bad it wasn't copper eh

The action worked great until the belt broke lol... This thing is pretty neat, crazy to see such a precision machine still working 150ish years later

Check out this old school Hunter ceiling fan.. this is pretty much all of its components. Very simple, very stout, very heavy, and yes that is copper. I just thought some fellow scrappers here might like to see it's guts LOL

It's crazy how well this stuff works... These were all orange-y red clay stained before

Heck with all the (already present) flaws, look at that shine! These are bone dry! There were also a few different not-already-fissured stones in there too, they came out just as shiny and undamaged, so I'm concluding that this is as good as my material can get. This was in a UV-45, run about 3 days each steps 2, 3, and 4

These are dry 😁😁🤠😁😁

I'm starting not to mind all the imperfections so much anymore 😍

These are dry 😁😁 I only have enough stage 4 grit for one round left, so I'm going to run these again after meticulously cleaning the bowl and picking out any broken stones and chips. This stuff has so many cracks and fissures that there are always a lot...

This is from about 2 hours of digging, after a 500 yard hike of pretty much all potential ankle-twisting terrain

So we've probably all had the disappointment of adding an extra quantity of something to our cart to have it somehow ruin our meticulously assembled strategic same-warehouse grouping of parts... I suppose this is understandable, maybe the one warehouse doesn't have the quantity you need.

How about adding extra quantity somehow making formerly multiple warehouse items suddenly combine into one? More items, less warehouses. WTF RockAuto? I'm not complaining in this situation, but I've been more disappointed than not, likely so have others. Is this some kind of glitch that can be fixed? I've already placed this order, so no takey-backsies 😛

Oh yeah, so not only did adding another gasket change this into a one-warehouse shipment, IT MADE IT A DAY FASTER SHIPPING (so they claim). That's the most confusing part of it all.

I can find extreme examples of shipping costs/time too... 10.99 for next day aint too shabby

The gazebo part is about 3 stories off the ground. The main beams are 8x8 I think, maybe 10x10

So is sitting on top of a rock the only thing preventing failure? Yes there's a hot tub on it. And the house. This is the only one *this* bad, it's right in the path where rainwater collects and runs under the structure. Everything was built in the 80's (sorry for the lousy pics)

Somebody told me they took this while at work, that this is some guys installing gloFiber across the street, about a year or so ago. The dude on the cable looks like some stock image for somebody working on a skyscraper or something. AI? Photoshop? I donno. Seems too ridiculous to be real.

Ordered on Sunday, arrived Tuesday. Box in tact and stuffed tight with stuffing - heavy parts' boxes undamaged, same for the other parts. No magnet... still pleased overall.
