Robert,
Actually certain engine components are aluminum. Generally speaking
however, most of them are either cast iron or a composite usually referred
to as pot metal. The other thing you want to be aware of when separating
out your scrap is that even aluminum is what the scrappers consider

Compost is nothing more than decomposed plant material, so you don't need a

The location of your lags doesn't really matter much. This is particularly
true in your application where the ledger is essentially sitting on the
