Re: scorpion
Posted: Mon Sep 27, 2010 9:25 pmI run in to them all the time.
I have an employee who just picks them up with his bare hands.

Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2010 3:41 pmI find lots of spiders and some bees in some of the monitors I do, even had a piece of equipment die a few years ago from a lizard, but never a scorpion.
PS what average per pound do you see from window AC units?

I break them down
This one I got 3 lbs CU
8 lbs alum/cu raid/coil
34 lbs sheet steel
13 lbs elect motor
28 lbs compressor/sealed unit
Total should get me $22-$25 or so.
