Scrap

[Carlosfandango]

Just wondering what everyone does with their scrap? I've got loads of rubble sacks full of all sizes ranging from 1mm to 25mm. I couldn't be arsed stripping the small stuff but might separate the bigger stuff (old tails, bigger armour) as I might get round to strip it? Is it worth it?

I separate T&E from singles as my scrappy pays more for singles!

What do keep it all in, my gardens beginning to look like a gypo's yard with all the rubble sacks piled up!

It's about £4.00 a kilo stripped and £1.00 kilo not. I pile it up in the unit and on slow days get the apprentice stripping the cable.

have one of these attached to a bench for the small T&E,

I don't bother anymore, my wife started going off it with the amount sitting in the back garden. So the young in I have working for me clears the site at the end of the day and gets it off site.

I've got about 20kg stripped in a bucket, and a rubble sack ram packed in the van. It's not only finding the time, it's finding the motivation to strip.

Slow days are when you take time out with the apprentice and help with his studies. Not have him wasting time doing menial jobs.

With any apprentice I’ve had a slack day was a chance to sit down and talk. If I could I’d set up faults for them to find. It wasn’t slack time, it was time to make use of in their training program.

When it came to a workshop clean up, everyone mucked in, foreman to apprentice.

Never call them a slack day, not in my earshot.

fair play, but he loves it as most of time I let him keep the pound notes as long as he invests it in tools etc.

Once he’s stripped a couple of lengths of cable what is there to learn? I’ve always been a believer in ongoing training, fortunately the company I served my time with had the same attitude.

So do I. I mean this happens probably twice a year hardly affecting his training lol.
