Default The job is done! Ahh, I feel better. Only problem...

...is there was definitely some corrosion on the inside of the wheels (they're chrome). Pretty sure I put them away clean. All I can figure is melting snow with road salt condensed on them and ate them over the winter. Going to power wash them and take a closer look. At least the faces of them are unblemished.

Default I used to live in madison hts/troy/warren/grosse pointe/MI....ice

would break up on lake st claire and wind would push it across the lake and pile it up on the road paralleling the shore, blocking the road. A cold april, windy may, and there would be 15 ft of ice blocking the road!!! LOL!
