We also loaded a couple of rusty 123 hoods, some old caddy air cleaner housings and the (yep, you guessed it) a kitchen sink....one of the old cast iron ones it was all two of us could do to lift and stagger 25' to the trailer.

My brother and I each have a hip replacement and I have a partial knee replacement so we were the walking wounded with the heavier items.

We rented an engine hoist for the engines.

I thought I was going to qualify for the Chinese Heavy lifing expert name "
Won Hang Lo" after that.

One day this week it will all go to the yard for scrap.
What did the sink look like? One of these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-antique-cast-iron-farm-farmers-farmhouse-sink-/170899913968?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27ca6dbcf0 or these? I think they do have some value though these prices seem steep.
