Melting aluminum

Ivan Vegvary · 2007-10-05T06:23:14+00:00

Just took off the aluminum siding on the front of my house. I don't know if it's worth the gasoline to drive it to the scrap metal dealer. I probably have about 20 lbs.Is this siding aluminum suitable for melting and casting?Another question. My wife has three kilns. They go up to about 2000° F. Can I just simply snip up a bunch of siding, place it in a cast iron skillet and put it in one of her kilns? Just wondering.Ivan Vegvary

That's because most of those getting divorced, are repeat offenders (What's Liz Taylor up to now, #9?) Got a buddy, he's just been divorced by wife number three. Wife #1 is happily remarried, Wife #2 is "happily" single again. OTOH, I've an old flame who was married three times. Divorced the last one, and when he was moping & whining about it, everyone told him "You were lucky, the first two died!"

I'm 54. Anyone older than me is an old fart. (I'm a young fart.) Yeah, a lot of you guys here sport long marriages. I guess there are pockets of you tolerant types here and there.

Yes, most women are quite intolerant in that way.

Heh!

You and I must have worked from the same book. I, too, was married for 14 years to my ex, and just passed 30 years with my current bride----a keeper. I was just shy of my 22nd. birthday when I married the first time.

That marriage was dissolved without a great deal of rancor, with a single attorney. Being free from her, the woman from hell, is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Women are not all alike!

Congratulations! I've got almost another twenty years to make it to that point, and since I married later, I will be 81 at that point.

Enjoy, DoN.

I'm just a young-un. got spliced at 28, 21 years ago and no plans to change. We decided a long while back that if we ever felt the need to split up, it'd be simpler if we just kept living together in the same house afterwards. It'd stop any arguments about me wanting her to take the kids and vice versa :-)
