We're never happy with what we git...and we ALWAYS regret that.

What's the saying? "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence."

Sadly, not true...
Of course, you're right. And storing a bunch of copper wire would be a PITA. I make 3 or 4 hundred a year these days just from saving old plumbing stuff -- faucets, angle stops -- anything brass, copper, or aluminum.
