Default Removing cast iron tub

I'm considering purchasing a second home with the intent to rent. The
wiring has been upgraded to 200amp with breakers. The home is old but
appears to be in very good shape. The wiring job was recent but the
elec. left the old wiring intact (not live) - only visible in the open
basement - ceramic / wires. Should this not have been removed? Anything
to worry about?


No and no.

Sorry - the tub was to be my second question. In the potential home the
tub was obviously placed in the washroom before the room was studded
out. Not an uncommon thing around here. It has to be removed from the
room. Is it feasible to break it up? cut it up or am I better off
knocking out a wall.


I've seen this on a remodel show.
Just hit it with a big hammer until it breaks.
I believe it has some scrap value.
