My dad was an electrician. So is my brother. Recently when my brother was visiting he brought some copper wire along with him to skin. He collects it in 5 gallon containers and then sells it - just like my father used to. Except my dad did it all by hand, and my brother has a nifty skinning machine that he wanted to show my dad. My father spent a ton of his free time skinning wire, selling wire, and then used the money to take take my mom on vacation. I had forgotten how much a part of my life history this was until I saw my brother and he showed me this photo. My dad would always be skinning leftover wire and putting it into buckets just like these. This is my brother's cache. I wonder where he's planning to go on vacation?
