John Dirks Jr Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Smashed the cast iron tub to bits and chucked it out the window. Piece of cake with a tad of sweat. On to the mortar bed. Well, they put a crap load of roofing nails through the lath before they put the bed in. This is making it a very labor intense task. I'll get it done but not without some significant back pain. Bust and pry and bust and pry. I guess there's not really and easier way. Download Attachment: P1240642.JPG 1503.23 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 The house use to have a wall hung toilet. I had previously put a 12" rough in and installed the more usual floor mounted toilet. You can see the floor rough in in the foreground. I need to cut out the wall hung rough in and toilet hanger brackets before I close up the walls.

I love those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had the worst flushing power of any toilet and it used too much water. Hi incidence of bowl overflow with this combination. Also, it had an odd shaped bowl so replacing the seat/lid was a special order item. I think I paid $75 for the last one but that was pre internet (in my houshold).
