Exactly how durable is well painted aluminum from corrosion?
Well, here is an example of aluminum that was buried underground for over 44 years!
In 1974, we had a retaining wall built at my mom's house. The workers took a break, and left these cans to be buried. This year, a tree root finally pushed the wall over, and we have to rebuild it.
Here is what we found! 44 years in a damp area under mom's front lawn. Just goes to show how important a good paint job can be!
Pretty Cool.
