House Getting Knocked Down.

What Steve said.
Also, I have a penetrating oil recommendation, it's what we were put onto by a guy at an auto parts store. Dh had a problem getting the lug nuts on his work truck off and had used all the usual oils we had available. The parts guy sold us "Blaster" PB Penetrating Catalyst.
It works like no other!

Great score by the way!

If the penetrating oil doesn't work, you can always use a small electric hand grinder to grind the nut / bolt head off, then a punch to knock the bolt body out or a metal drill bit to drill it out.

PB Blaster is great stuff. Grinding the bolts off is a good ideas too. You can always get new bolts and if they are that rusted, you probably need to anyway.

And when you're all done and have your gazebo safely stowed in the truck, treat yourself to a Vinegar Coke, as Seed suggested!

Wow Nyboy, you got a gazebo? Sounds like you scored just with that alone. I love wrought iron chairs and the oak doors sound great! Sounds like it was worth the trip and time. Hope that gazebo comes apart fairly easily.

Vinegar Coke

What is vinger coke?

 

[thistlebloom]

Seed will need to clear that up himself...but what he probably meant was that you could also use vinegar, or coke to loosen the gazebo bolts.

I just like to tease him.

Coke can loosen rust, what does it do to the body?

The soda, Coke, has long been used to clean engines so they look like new. There is another penetrating oil -- Marvin's? Marvelous Machine oil ? -- sheesh I can't remember what it's called, but it does have three M's in the name. It worked like magic to get rid of rust and loosen nuts for us.
