Grill

The grill gets it's own post only because it took three evenings to get it to look like this, seen here propped up on the front panel. The previous owner had painted it gold, and the paint refused to do much even with the strongest stripper I have, and I have no media blasting equipment - and so, every little segment had to be scraped and wire brushed and scraped and wire brushed on and on, until it came back to the original galvanized metal. I don't want to paint it, as I like the look of the original finish. However, if by some chance the galvanizing has been scraped off in some places and the grill rusts in the future, painting it won't be an issue; but until then I like the way it looks, even if it is just a grill.
