off the wall I know...but is it possible that decaying organic matter (methane) under the bars was displacing/reducing the oxygen around the bars?
It is just the mill scale that is covering it. It resist rust pretty well, but it will rust in wet or salty conditions.
Hello Mojave! Yes, it may have something to do with your, um, location. Plus, if you ever did get some moisture, I'm sure the wind would move it along just fine. :laughing:it may have something to do with your location....
29 Palms flashback - Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Ok, sorry about that, had to get that out of my system. Desert aint kind to a boy from the Mississippi River delta region of Arkansas, I kind of like water and humidity. Heat aint the bother but dry don't suit me.
I can certainly understand that, different strokes for different folks and desert is not the stroke for me or maybe I would have a stroke if I lived in the desert.My wife, a retired navy Captain previously stationed at Naval Hospital 29P, noted that about half the staff absolutely hated the desert, the other half absolutely loved it. There wasn't much middle ground.
We loved it so we stayed in the desert after she retired. I lived about 25 years in San Diego and she did a couple of tours in SD and one at Camp Pendleton (Oceanside) before we came to the desert.
