All the metal, the water meter itself, and worst of all the electrical.For those of you keeping score at home, yes that is the roof just above the broken window.

The metal is pitted where the vent is, which seems from the humidity.2.  

It was a record for me, David, and that didn't count over a dozen cars and several large truckloads of recyclables such as metal etc.  

Does it have a regular pitched roof or a metal one?  

As it turns out, I have met all but one of the tenants and none of them are miners.

I have a fairly long stretch of rigid metal ductwork in he crawl space of an mid-50-ies property.

However, I am not sure how well these details would work when applied to $30,000 houses.As for the things you always hear about - AC units, furnaces, coils and water heaters.  

We've thought about buying some precious metals as part of a reserve account as a hedge against inflation.

I'm planning to invest in previous metals until I get it to a state where I can invest in real estates.
