    Hey Mr. Paul. Hope you're doing ok. I haven't been in the comment section the past month or so because sadly, my mom passed on April 26th. Your channel was one of our favorites to watch together. And she loved that you prayed in your videos. I'm planning on getting my license soon and start scrapping again. Keep being awesome Mr. Paul. You do a lot of good for this world.

    @@ScrapPalletMan Yes sir. We watched them together. I introduced her to your channel. And she fell in love with your scrapping adventures. Every time we would pass by metal both of us would blurt out an impression of you saying "A lil bit of metal" we did some scrapping in the last few months. She loved it, and we got to spend time together scrapping along with watching your videos. They are terrific memories. I've been meaning to send you some coffee that is from Louisiana and Texas, I will try to get it to you soon. Keep being awesome Mr. Paul.

    Evictions break my heart as a dumpster diver and reseller; seeing that pile sent shivers down my spine. You never know what happened or why they got evicted. Unfortunately nowadays rent is so high and pay is so low people just can't afford it. I'm just blessed that I have a job that I know will always be in demand so that way I can pay my rent until I can buy a house. Prayers for the tenant and her family as she goes through this.

    Mr. Paul, three cheers for you for not picking someone else's bad luck. I'm like you, it's not someone's trash, it's someone's life. No matter the circumstances. ( unless serial killer). And so many people want to moan and groan about their life but look at the stuff they have. I would give everything I own to have hubby back. But I know he's in a better place and I thank God I have what I need to make it. Not much but I want for nothing. I have a bed, a roof over my head, my bills are paid and I'm not hungry. And i have my fur babies. Praise God. I am so blessed. May you be blessed, loved and have peace in your heart.

    Years ago there was a sheriff's eviction on my street. I didn't know the story, but like you, it made me very sad to see this family's possessions all out on the curb. People were rifling through the stuff like vultures, and this was one of our neighbors. It made me sick to my stomach. I called the county and asked if the family needed help or a place to store stuff, and they advised me not to get involved with the situation as there was a long story behind it.

    That was super kind of you to consider giving them help. 20yrs ago I was in a non fault Head-on Car Crash which cost me my van, my Petrol Tools, my business then I lost my home and half my possessions and during the move out I was allowed to leave what was salvaged in my friend's garage however then came the storms and her neighbour above her on the hillside illegally used sandbags to divert the rainwater straight onto her garage! so ALL my belongings inc my beloved University books! were soaked & ruined. It was a tough time. To offer help to anyone when others will even try to stop you helping them, that's true Christianity. Even if there is a "Long story", even if someone's committed horrible offences & "deserves to be punished" it's still the right thing to do to try to help.

    One of my neighbors lost his house and had a good bit of stuff and no place to take it. I had recently had a large barn built and told him he could store his stuff in there till he got settled. He was blown away because we weren't close, but none of his "friends " even offered. Unfortunately, the strain took its toll on this fellow and he passed away a month later. But as Christians, this is what we do. Always look out for your neighbors.

The community sells it and the money get back to the community and the community get paid for some costs during the handling of the other houshold garbish we produce and want to get rid off. We also have a couple of scrapyards where you can sell your own scrap and get paid for it. I am glad that you are turning your engine off when you are loading, it is really good for not the noise, but most important: you are doing great for our enviroment when turning engine off when not driving! Sorry for the bad english.

    Yes it sad when someone gets evicted. Years a go I did a lot of repair work for Land lord in my town, an from time to time would help clear out a home where he had evicted someone it bothered me a bit. But I needed the work. But then came the day he evicted one of my step daughters and her loser boy friend that did not want to work. The Land lord did not know she was my step daughter. She got lucky I was the one to clean out the house. I was abele to save all her things. I called one of her brothers and had him bring over his truck, and he help me store her things in his garage and my garage tell she could get a new place to stay. The thing that hurt the most about it all, was the fact she did not come to me for help in the first place. But we got that all straighten out after that. She knows to call me for help now. You should seen how surprised she was when found out me and her brother had save every thing.

    i LOVE your videos, and I am right there with you on having lost all my belongings. I've hauled carloads to homeless encampments just so it didn't get put out on the street, it made me feel better about losing it that way. Living in my car actually helped me learn to live with less stuff in general, not keen to gather. In a small neat apt now. I knew a woman who had TWICE lived in a trailer that went up in flames, with her in her car, with a purse and jacket and nothing else. She has a place now and I wouldn't be surprised if she sits in there with a shotgun. It's too heartbreaking when it's all their actual goods in the world. I'm with you on that!

    Hi my name is Starr. I'm new to your channel recommended by KZread. And I totally love your personality and your attitude towards life. I would like to share my story with you and anyone that's listening. I was a emancipated 16yr. Unfortunately I had to lie to my landlord that I was 18. after a year later a family members had told my landlord that I was underage and when I came home all my things were put out on the street and picked through. My first apartment my first everything was all gone. I was heartbroken! I collected as much as I could carry in a shopping cart. Which led me to a shelter that I couldn't stay in because I was underage. So I slept in a park, apt. stairways, bus stations, still working a full-time job. Now I'm 49 and blessed with a roof over my head and living stable. Thank you for sharing your day with us and your story.

    Wow, this really hit home for me, Paul. I moved back to my childhood home after my Dad passed and several years later lost my job working for a mortgage company during the housing market crash. Couldn’t find a full time job and fell behind on my property taxes. Eventually, my house was sold at a Sheriff’s sale, I rented from the new owner but he decided he wanted to sell the house. I had to leave real fast and people were throwing everything I owned in black garbage bags. I lost everything. I went on to live in some bushes for 4 months. I saw good and bad but I mostly remember amazing gestures of love, including witnessing miracles. Thank you for being respectful, but then you have a beautiful compassionate heart. On a lighter note...”Coat rack”! 🤣🤣🤣

    Such a sad deal. That is happening all over the country. Some people are being put on the street simply because they can't afford house payments/rents. Prices are so high that hardworking folks on the lower end of the payscale are suffering. I lost everything three times in my life. Two divorces- not my decision. The second one I was kicked out after I lost my job- I was just a paycheck for him. When that was gone so was I. I was homeless for 8 months until I got on my feet again. The third and last time was about two years after I got on my feet again. Someone came to my house after I'd gone to work. 5 men two trucks took EVERYTHING I owned, even pots, dishes and kitchen stuff. Since they took the dressers holding my clothes and used blankets,etc to carry stuff I didn't have a nightgown to put on, a pillow or blanket and certainly no bed. It had taken me two years to get what was taken. I was working two jobs because of the pay. Since then I have not accumulated much "stuff". I only have what I need. The saddest thing is my neighbors watched them take my stuff, they knew I'd gone to work. No one called the police. They told me what they'd watched. They talked to the police but nothing was ever done. I didn't have insurance, that was a hard earned lesson. That has really changed how I see things in life, but I can say that I stepped up and stopped a neighbor from being robbed while they were at work, I will every time because I know how it feels to come home to your front door swinging in the wind. Sorry this was long winded- it triggered me as well. Sorry the pinchomatic punched you. I had a little song watching you do the treadmill two step, lol. Scrap prices are going down, maybe the upside will be less competition as people get tired of the low return for hard work wrestling that stuff. Always enjoy seeing a video from you. Praying for those folks that lost everything- we know. Stay safe and GOD bless
