[AT] Mouse Condo

[charlie hill]

just a thought here,  how about pouring something like used motor oil, maybe
mixed with diesel into the whole mess and letting it sit for a few hours 
before
scooping it out.  Here's my thinking.  You stop the corrosion, get rid of 
the dust,
maybe kill some of the pathogens and when you get the mess all scooped out
it can be easily burned (as long as the EPA isn't looking).

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.
