"At some point, we had a snake get into the air warming portion of our woodstove. When we went to start the stove up in the fall, the warmed air smelled terrible and made the whole house smell awful! The job was a pretty big challenge because the whole top of the stove had to be cut off then welded back on after the remains of the snake had been removed. Since the stove weighs quite a bit (a couple of hundred pounds at least) and is difficult to move, the work needed to be done in our basement...someone had to be able to do the welding in my house. It was a major job cutting the top of the cast iron stove off, but Mr. Perez was very patient and spent the time necessary to do the job correctly. Mr. Perez is very well mannered and is someone you can trust having in your house."

  • Low-carbon steel: $11–$12 per pound

  • Stainless steel: $13–$15 per pound

  • Cast iron: $38–$79 per pound

  • Titanium: $60–$85 per pound

Yes, you can cut plexiglass by hand using a sharp knife or blade (utility knife, box cutter, glass cutter, etc.).

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.

Yes, you can use a saw to cut metal pipes. The best saw to use is a reciprocating saw, but even a fine-tooth hacksaw can get the job done. No matter which saw you use to cut metal pipes, wear protective gear, like work gloves, safety goggles, and ear plugs. Apply a firm, steady pressure to the tool, and always ensure the pipes are secured so they don't move while you make the cuts.

Cutting rectangular ductwork requires careful measurements and the right technique. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the cutting lines accurately. Tin snips are excellent for straight cuts on smaller ducts. For more extensive or thicker rectangular ducts, a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade is effective. 

Ensure the duct is well-supported and secure while cutting to prevent wobbling and maintain precision. After cutting, use a metal file to smooth any sharp edges, ensuring safety during installation.
