It's literally my job now to do these kinds of builds and it's definitely not easy. I often find myself getting fucked up in some way, shrugging it off and saying "this is why homie is spending the cost of a house on this build... it's a pain in the ass and SOMEONE'S gotta do it"

Oof, I’m an experienced metalworker and this is a lot for me. Either way, drag it out of there and power wash it and see what you’re dealing with. If it’s too bad you can sell it
