This was in the dumpster at work. I brought it home and I am in the untangle it mode.
The wife wants to know just how much this is going to be worth when I am done. So I told her like 6 bucks
Chuck i have been called that too when i have been on jobsites and come back with all the waste i can pick up.
I had to do some inspections once of a huge mall electrical rooms while under construction. Found those braided nylon flat rope/strings which are put into the conduits to pull cables through. Well once the cable has been pulled from point a to b they pretty much dump them.
Very strong and flexible stuff, i have used it for all sorts.
Also collected loads of plastic shims that are dropped everywhere.
My motto has always been waste not want not. But sounds like we have a bunch of rich wasteful dudes here keeping us frugal guys company.
Way to go on the string score. Looks like good nylon string to me.
