worth it to go buy one! I just did some yard furniture, started with a hand brush and quickly went to wire wheel on the cordless drill. battery didn't last long but I was too lazy to dig out the corded drill so it took me a couple of days. plenty to do while battery charges. so it was all good.
Question time. Wondering what I should do. I know what I'm planning on doing. Just want a yes or no from others.
Was going to finish this wall here in a couple hours and my plan is to spray it down with the hose n then wipe it down n let it dry then hit it with the rustoleum. Good plan? Yes? No? And GO!!!

Yes if you let it dry GOOD! I would also wipe it with a throw away towel to be on the safe side.
Loving the drill huh?

It's better but I'm still having to take the wire brush to it to knock of this white dust n rust dust.
I am done with these walls! I finished up about an hour ago. I came in to sit down. Took a shower n have to go to the store for the old man. When I get back, I'm going to take a bucket of soapy water n scrub them down with a scrub brush n then spray then off. Let it air dry n then take old prison tshirts n wipe them dry this evening n spray them with rustoleum. I'm getting there with my one woman team. It was good to have a plan through all of this. Its kept me on track. I've talked to my Dad a lot while I'm out there. He'd be smiling if he could see me. Still miss him terribly. Talk to him every day.
SWEET! You ARE a beast!! Don't forget to tape the bolts good!

I've logged 10 working hours on the rust and wall today. I am so glad to report that I am DONE! UGH... I'm tired n sore. So here are the pics. All I can say is that I wish I could have found enough grey rustoleum primer because it looks brand new! It's still wet in the pic. I've got a variety of colors going on.

Awseome job miss. Just remember to duck if that crazy lady comes back to punch you in the face again.
You had a long and arduous day. It was the least i could do. Happy it worked as intended !
I thank you.

What is the most rust prohibitive spray paint/coating known to mankind I wonder?
i have a new pool install ahead of me, but i dont think the pool has a stainless skimmer panel.
thinking of hitting up the skimmer and return area with some self etching primer, and maybe a gloss enamel or something over that.

Right now you really dont need that. It's a brand new pool and it has a gloss finish over the bare metal.
YOU DID IT!! SWEET! LOL on the graffiti but hey it works!!
What are you doing to the floor to get it right?

Taking about an inch or 2 down and adding 1/2" insulation board n triple taping with Gorilla tape. Then putting the liner in.
