[AT] Mouse Condo

[John Hall]

You know, I don't know what it is that is so "corrosive", but mouse pea 
can do more damage to steel in a year than sitting outside for a decade. 
I'd just get some rubber gloves, a soil trowel and scoop out all you 
can. Instead of a pressure washer how about just turning the hose loose 
on it and flush away the residue, like you said a power washer will 
splatter everywhere. You may want to use at least a dust mask when 
removing the bulk of the residue dry.

I just sold a steel wheeled Oliver Superior drill. I had to get a mouse 
nest and a bee's nest out of it.

I opened the grain box and the middle of it is about half full of mouse nest, poop and urine.  Do you think it's salvageable?  I wonder if the cups are rusted solid?  It won't be pleasant scooping this mess out, then the power wash back splatter will be hazmat quality....
