Brian G Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 These are of some cast iron pipes under a 1927 house I did yesterday, still in use. Cast iron is so tricky...does anyone think I should go ahead and recommend replacing these? Brian G.

Steven Hockstein Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Brian, Nice photos. The second one reminds me of how my knees felt last Sunday after the first softball league practice session. More Advil please!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Advil please!!! Hah! If your knees felt as bad as that elbow looks, you'd need morphine, not Advil. Those are easily the worst corroded pipes I've seen still in use. Should make an impression on the client; lots of "Oh S***!" value there. [:-bigeyes] Brian G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence McCann Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hey Brian: I'll add two to T.O.A.S.T. You pick (btw, these are free.) FUGLY - FUBAR. You might have to explain these to your client, in which case, you may want to choose different wording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Don't See a Problem [:-blindfold] How the heck do you expect to get referred again by that agent if you suggest the client budget for replacement. They are not leaking now are they? So simply tell the client to "monitor" the situation. That shouldn't alarm anyone and you've done a real service for the client.[:-dunce][:-paperbag] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sharp of you Dennis, what was I thinking? It's only a 50 foot crawl in a 15 inch high crawl space to where that pipe is...Monitor it! Brilliant! [:-mischievous] Brian G.
