As it starts out as cast iron (then likely clay line outside) I’ve been researching that eventually these will have to get replaced at some point to PVC if cleaning maintenance hasn’t been done or if some other damage to the Line occurs, I wasn’t provided a quote as he again couldn’t get outside access to view.

Another factor is, how wide are you casting your net? 

That being said it is more expensive than Loveland so if budget is a concern you might want to cast a wider net.

I've listen to a pod-cast & I've checked out several of the books on BP list to read.

Cast Iron?

I'm sure you'll see the silver lining on the cloud your friend is trying to cast over you.

Hello to all,First off, the pod-casts are great, I've been listening to them while going to work on the subway.

He and his helper had it out in about 3 hours, and he got $160 for the cast iron.

As well as my tenant lying to me most of the time she is disabled and in a cast so she is either wheel chaired most of the time or lying on her couch. 

I've being reading the boards, blogs and listening to the pod casts.
