MyOldHouse Halloween Plumbing Nightmare
Small leak in copper piping. It is so old It's time to replace the plumbing to sink and toilet.
Advice:
Do expect problems.
Do call on old friends.
I called a friend who is a Master Plumber.
He recommended that I pull all the old copper out due to the many patches and its age of 30+ years.
Also recommended some cool parts.
Will be updating as I replace it.

Had to put plumbing job on hold, lucky we have 3 bathrooms. Additional tools needed 1/2 Hammer drill. The bath floor is old and well built. 5 inches of concrete with lead pan. It took a little time to drill the concrete, after all this I broke the drain from the sink as I was drilling. I was in luck the toilet supply line was at on time placed though the floor. So to speed thing up I used it as the sink supply as well. We have planed to remodel this bath one day. now it will be soon. The bottom of cabinet was also in bad shape It is getting replaced as well. After the fact, I wish I had just pulled the old cabinet out and replaced it. All would have been easier. Old plumbing to be removed when I do the remodel. More projects to come from this location. Plumbing Parts $85.13
