Default Cast Iron waste stack is seeping

I think it was about $1200 to run cast iron from the basement floor to
the floor of the second floor (actually just below it, where the toilet
connected). So about 16 ft. of 4 inch pipe installed. They used the
time honored oakum and lead method for the joints. I did all the
plaster repair myself afterward. I had gotten one bid of almost
$10,000 for the same job! I think that outfit just didn't want to work
with cast iron. -- H
