While there might be some advantages to owning a cement block farm house that was built in '39 (as far as the government knows, they found it in '40 and put it in the tax books). Dealing with cast iron plumbing IS NOT one of them.
Front bathroom john was slow and causing the sink to gurgle, the vent is plugged. 2 days on the roof later, trying to vacuum out&up (15 feet straight up) several pounds of rusted cast iron chips as big as a quarter or a bit bigger. Lowe's might wonder if I take a shop-vac after only 36 hours and say it stopped working.
I do hope you guys are having a better weekend!!
