Maintenance Shop. I found 30-50 lbs. of “plumbers lead”. I think there were 6-7 bars of ingots. Hazardous material you know! It probably needs proper disposal. Long ago I worked a deal on a pallet of flexible “goose neck” connections.
You know; the EPA has mandated that the state of Michigan, and soon the rest of the nation “find” and replace every lead water pipe connection and lead service line for residential customers! Lead has been a fantastic pipe material since at least the Greek empire. (If it does not kill you in the first 15-20 yrs. it scales over) Many of their lead pipes, Roman aqueduct too, are still functional. That will be a LOT of lead in some market. Most is sold internationally at substantial profit.
