They certainly don't make them like they used to.
Today the plumber came to the house to move the drain from its current location to the place it needs to be for the marble installation to proceed. To pull this feat off, it was necessary to cut through the old pipe and install a new section of pipe from the drain's new location to the old underground drainage system. Easy, you'd think, right?
Not if the original pipe is cast iron!
It ultimately took two strong men and four diamond saw blades to successfully cut through the pipe to remove the section!
Winner and Champeen? The men, but only by referee's decision. *chuckle*
It's good to know the underpinnings of the house are sturdily built. A major blessing when things are working right, bit of a curse if there's a problem.
Next up - concrete in the shower! I suspect this bout will be just a bit easier.
