We used to do the same thing with the reusable crates a lot of our stuff came packed in. The shipping department built a lot of our crates, but they only had nail guns and no loose nails. They finally got wise and started to put crate covers on with dry wall screws, so we weren't too bad off then if they got bent. We could run the mile and half down the plant to shipping and get a handful.After all the dust settled and quiet resumed, my colleague and I were sitting on the concrete floor straightening nails with hammers when one of the young supervisors walked in asking, "What are you doing?" After explanation, he walked off shaking his head.
I have several nice LCD monitors that are now ten years old. When people aee them, they're amazed that they've lastes as long as they have. Well, it's becaise I repaired them.The young ones today make very good money and do not see the value of repairs or proper care. They seem to feel there will always be a paycheck and enough to buy replacements. My three daughters think I'm frugal (cheap) when I repair things. I point out that the old stuff was better made than the things they buy, so it is better to repair than replace if possible. I view my youngest and her husband as both a great success and some small failure as their education has provided good paying jobs, but allowed them to live in a "replacement" mode. Another example of generational difference occurred when I was still working. There were only two in the shop, both well into our 60s, older than every one in the office. One day we received large equipment well packed in heavy wooden crates. After all the dust settled and quiet resumed, my colleague and I were sitting on the concrete floor straightening nails with hammers when one of the young supervisors walked in asking, "What are you doing?"

Sometimes I believe that Iran is cheapest country in the world ...I'll be right there!
Any thoughts on opening an import/export business? I'm sure we can find someone who can get us an old plane.Sometimes I believe that Iran is cheapest country in the world ...
For example: 1kg of Opium coats 16 - 20 K USD in US, but here, in Iran, it's only about 30 USD.
Same goes for electricity, Water, Gas bills.
Well, Hooka is not used for opium, this is the thing:Second hand hooka!
I thought about it, more than once!Any thoughts on opening an import/export business? I'm sure we can find someone who can get us an old plane.
