Hello Adam.

Goodbye Adam

 

Nothing is visibly melted... It just refuses to come out. I want to drop my blower so I can clean and lubricate it, but the damn plug won't come out. I'm also afraid of breaking it with winter still here I kinda need my blower. A summer project perhaps.

@Tacoma Mike saw this and thought of you

 

What was supposed to be a simple bathroom flooring job has turned into a major plumbing adventure. I had a plumber pull the toilet before I was to start the floor. Sink is hung off wall, so that wasn't an issue. House was built in 1908. As he pulled the toilet, we learned the drain assembly is lead and there's was no toilet flange holding the toilet in place. There were bolts threaded into the floor in same location as a flange. The lead drain assembly was simply bent over the floor to mimic a drain/flange. So plumber suggested to homeowner a complete rebuild of the sink, shower and toilet drains. Thankfully there's a cast iron stack nearby to tie into. This is the only bath in the house. So this summer (when homeowner rents a cottage) we're going to tear up the bathroom floor (it's on 2nd floor) and redo all the plumbing and put down a new subfloor. He thinks some of the floor joists have been cut too, so we'll fix those. New floor will go in once that's all done. He's estimating 2-3 days. He put on a new wax ring and put the toilet back in place. Fun stuff!

 

Gotta love playing architecture archeology when working with old buildings.

 

Good afternoon stockers!
