I found out what they were. I saw the boss man today and asked him. He told me they were slick dowels. Apparently they are used where joints are located so that the concrete can expand and contract. Basically they are rebar without the ridges is what he told me. The measurements of them are 17" x 3/4" thick and weigh about 5 pounds each. I have about 40-50 of them in the back of my truck. On top of that my friend who helps me likes to sell junk metal so I let him get everything else. It ended up to be 820lbs of rebar and he got 47$ for it.  |

Junk metal is what the treasures I have outside my shop become when the bride says I have to much "junk" and "requests" that I thin the herd. LOL John

Well I am more like a friend of mine called Terry of whom it has been said: "One Man's trash is another Man's tressure; but Terry's trash is *NOBODY'S* treasure". Unlike some people have said there is scrap that even I don't save for "later". Used to have a deal with the local alley crawlers: anything out at the curb was fair game. Anything in the yard was a risk to life and limb...
