Checked out the old steel mill site in Gary, the rust on the structural beams is way worse than it looks from the road.

If you're ever near there for a job, give those overheads a real close look before you set anything up underneath. Anyone run into something like that on a demo or retrofit job?

We had a beam give way on a site in Cleveland. The inside was just flakes, like a bad loaf of bread. Always tap it with a hammer first.

A visual check can catch a lot of rot too.
