Good day to all:
Been reading all of the posts avidly the past few weeks.
Just an update on my progress. Some may remember I live in a small
town in NE Arizona and have not located a reliable source of paper.
Well HOORAY, just received permission from the local Post Office to
get their paper.
I will be getting abut 2 or 3 cu yards per week from them. Also there
are two other Post Offices within 30 miles that I should also be able
to get the paper from now that I have the approval from the first one.
OK, OK, OK, Now what do I do? Haven't even started on my mixer yet
and what with the weather fixing to get yucky, where am I going to
store all of this paper until spring?
The best I could do is to make some wire mesh holding bins and when
they were full cover them with tarp. Of course we all know water has
an ability of it's own to get into any itty bitty opening and seek
out something to get wet causing mildew or mold.
Any ideas on this issue? Don't have any type of building to store
that much paper.
Next item on the agenda, a shredder!! Looking on E-Bay, a commercial
shredder will cost as much as $700. Way too much and my pocket book
isn't very fat. Feeding myself and my dog keeps me broke (nasty
habit, eating).
How about this? I can get 4 inch saw blades for about $4.00 each
($150). Will need 36 to make an 18 inch shredder. Remember, I'm a
retired mechanic/welder and have the tools and such to build one.
If I place a blade, spacer, blade, spacer on two shafts, mount the
two sets of blades between each other, build a guard so stupid people
(like myself) don't stick their fingers between them, I should be
able to build a shredder that would cut up anything.
Anyone ever built one of their own?
Thanks
