Almost the entire pipe is bad. Both plumbers said it's 30-40' of rotted out cast iron. Jack hammering up the entire house and opening up several walls is a ton more work than digging a trench in dirt ...

We stopped by last weekend. Great place! There is also a used tool store in town called "for woodworkers". Decent amount of used hand tools and very casual. Her does close for lunch.

My idea is to block the bathroom from the main line, not divert the whole line through the bathroom. For whatever reason the kitchen/HVAC is working fine. I assumed I could add a T connection to the s...
