Was that in the wall or the floor?
I believe in functionalist architecture where the services are accessible.
After today, I also believe in functionalist architecture where the services are accessible. Alas, the drain must connect to the sewer, and so it's buried beneath about 4 inches of concrete in the basement. We removed about ten feet of the floor, and completed the sawing. We have another ten feet to go. If I were wealthy, I would hire a contractor to do the work and spare myself the inconvenience, the wretched filth and the backbreaking labor.
As I type this...Me and my husband are in the middle of staging an estate sale in an old Victorian Home...been working on it a week now...lots of scary stuff in the old nooks and crannies....
The plumber who located the pipes for me mentioned "sewer worms" and advised that I purchase lime to control the rotten air. The lime, at least, provides me with some romantic whimsy about the adventure of living during medieval Plague times. In reality, I feel a sudden gratitude for the luxury of hot running water.
