Dumpster Diving "Rain On My Head"

Ойын-сауық

Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur. I prowl the city streets in search of dumpster loot, curbside treasures & scrap metal as well as scour the river bottoms for lost valuables during the summer months when I can scrounge up enough money for gas. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

    Mike I adore your charm and witty ways. I'm a 73 yr old disabled shut in that used to dumpster dive and shop in front of homes for city wide cleaning. Those were the day! Thank you for taking me along. I cuss and laugh and answer you. I'm alone living in Utah with my 2 dogs, no family. So congratulations, you just gained a Nana Jody. Please don't stop being you!

Hook up a 1/2 HP motor to it and some turning chisels from Harbor freight and you can make table legs, lamps, candle sticks, etc. Maybe worth holding on to for future wood projects/furniture. Aaooooww, y'all! 😉👊👍✌

  • @marcuslorensen8306
    @marcuslorensen83062 жыл бұрын

    Mike, The blue tank is water pressure tank. The main reason they are scraped is the rubber bladder located about 1/2 between ends is leaking water to air side, thus is no long good. usually only has 30 - 50 PSI pressure.Water side is on bottom, air side on top. Little blue cap on top has a air valve to incress air pressure, but once cap is removed, warranty is void.

    Whenever I get a fridge/freezer, etc I put it on its back/open-end up and fill the empty space with scrap. Especially good for poles & sticks or big wads of wire. Bonus--after sorting, pack that fridge full of same type scrap and drop it all at once at the scrapyard.

Found the parts on eBay. Parts for lathe might also be on eBay depending on what’s needed. Wonderful what you do. More people need this work ethic. Thank you.
