A little more minor progress on the house fire situation

ll the old 1950's ****. Some of it had considerable internal rust, and some looked pretty good for all those years. For some reason they use a HUGE number of unions, which made getting it out easier. I recently scored 2 used 24" wrenches for a good price, and the shape I'm in, I need all the torque arm I can get.

I wouldn't call that metal piping "****", it lasted 75 years. The plastic piping will last nowhere near that length of time before it falls apart or gets someone sick.
