Anyone know what a std size cast iron tub weighs, give or take a few pounds.
Bloody heavy I know that. Don't fancy getting it downstairs in one piece.


Break it up in-situ. With a decent sized clubhammer it should break
easily.

Whack it near the rim until it cracks-keep whacking and chase the
crack until it breaks into bits. It's sort of like breaking a really
tough bit of toffee.

Wear goggles, ear defenders, overalls and gloves-the enamel splinters
go everywhere and are VERY sharp.
