Restoring an old Weber Grill - Uncleaned for 10 years

This was a little side project that I have been working on! I found this behind the office that I work at and I had been told that someone left it here many years ago and it had gone uncleaned for a decade! This thing has sat through many North Dakota winters enduring negative 30 plus and many ice and snow storms. I decided to clean it up which turned into a little project! I hope you enjoy this transformation video!
