Are hot water heaters good for scrap metal?

• <div>Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.</div>

What questions should I ask a welder before hiring?

• <div>There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:<ul><li>Are you licensed and certified?</li><li>How long have you been in the welding business?</li><li>Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?</li><li>Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?</li><li>Do you charge by the hour or by the project?</li><li>How long do you expect my welding project to take?</li><li>What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?</li></ul></div>
