Josie and I were so excited to move into our very first house. It wasn’t the biggest house in the world, or the nicest, but it was 100% ours! We bought it at auction, and knew going in that it would be a “fixer-upper.” All the money we saved on the purchase would have to be sunk into renovations. It would take time, money, and a lot of effort, but we were committed to turning this starter house into a dream house. Since we bought the place “as is” that meant there was also a lot of junk and trash to be removed. In the garage, Josie found several hundred pounds worth of rebar rods, and a few boxes of double loop wire ties. We were bummed out about this, because rebar rods and all these coils of wire ties were unbelievably dense and heavy to try and move. I decided to research online, to find a local scrapper who would come over to haul it away for us, and instead I stumbled across the true value of American made rebar rods and double loop wire ties. We were sitting on a little gold mine! Josie estimated that we had over a thousand dollars worth of wire ties, bar wire, and rebar rods to try and sell. She called around to several local building contractors, and had them come over, examine the rebar rods and wire ties, and then make us an offer. By letting the different contractors try to out bid each other we ended up making a cool two thousand bucks from all these double loop wire ties and rebar rods.
