I posted Sunday morning on our local yahoo-freecycle group that I had this aluminum motorhome that needed to go.

I got about 10 response. Despite my best effort to convey the whole story, with phrases like "this is absolute scrap, all useful bits of the motorhome are gone, there is nothing here but scrap metal, this will be very difficult"; i still got one response form someone looking to live in it.

Anyway, from the list of applicants I picked one who seemd to have a clue and he showed up on time the following evening,

He started the next morning (Tuesday) when i got home from work one whole side was gone (first photo)

And so it went for the rest of the week. This morning it was 35 degrees and freezing rain, i had the day off, i was on my third cup of coffee when i heard the sawzall.

By the end of the day he was putting frame sections in his truck

I'll report back this week with the total weight.

I felt bad for the guy and told him to help himself to the junk 1985 Saab and a dozen or so batteries i had planned to take to the recycler.
