This story was told by a plumber I know, and it brings the reason why I have time to call a professional.
I received a call from the homeowner asking someone to estimate some repairs. When I asked about the repair, he said that there were too many enumerations, but it would be much easier if I just went out to look at it. I went. It started like this...
Old Joe wants to change his toilet seat, but can't turn off the old toilet. So he tried the wrench until he turned off the nuts [because they reversed them and mistaken them] and then he decided to take out his reliable cold chisel. Well, he didn't succeed in knocking on it, so he pulled the hammer back and hit hard stubborn bolts. In doing so, he broke the toilet tank and flooded the area with cold water. There was a shock in the cold water hole. He hurriedly put the hammer back into the bathtub, causing a large piece of porcelain to fall off the bathtub floor.
Regrouping his ideas, he ran to the ground floor to close the house's water, and the house was not built with other valves when it was built in 1890. At the same time, the water flooded the floor and it was planned to drown the plaster under the ceiling into the living room. Then Joe removed the rest of the toilet tank and tried to remove the bowl from the floor flange. It also won't give in, so reliable chisels and hammers come back, and "WHACK" is no longer a toilet. However, during this process, he managed to tear the closet flange off the floor and because it was attached to the bend of the lead wardrobe, it was torn and now needs to be replaced. He determined that it was necessary to cut off the T-tubes of the stacked closets. Since he didn't know how to repair the old lead pipe, he thought that using the beautiful PVC of Home Depot could solve the problem.
He tried to cut the cast iron pile with a hacksaw and it didn't help, and then tried the sawtooth, and there was no result, so....Yes, it came out with a good old chisel and hammer, but this time it was a bigger hammer. He made a few big blows on the stack, and Viola' it was divided into several pieces, one of which still integrated them. He used a crowbar to pry the last trace of the solid pipe on the wall, and suddenly the remaining pipe part [through the vent of the roof] was loosened, and with a strong impact, from the wall through the bottom into the present, the living room The ceiling is less, continue down until it hits the TV, pops it up and through the floor of the living room until it hits the electrical panel, causing the house to sink into complete darkness, and finally rests after cutting off the main water to close the valve basement.
This is a $27,000 toilet seat replacement.
