For those of us that wallow at the bottom of the food chain, copper has been very interesting during this time of war.


Right now, copper is paying almost $3.00/lb at the scrap yard. We've got 24 hour security at worksites, because people steal the brand new copper pipe, to bring to the scrap yard.

I don't throw out old copper anymore, when I'm doing plumbing jobs.
