(A friend of mine once described getting a cast iron bath downstairs
with great difficulty, only to find that the scrap merchant who was
collecting it immediately broke it up with a sledge hammer before
putting the now much easier to handle chunks in his truck....)

I removed a cast iron bath from my father in laws years ago. I heard all
about this 'bash it with a hammer' trick, so I tried it. My ears were still
ringing a week later and the bath was unscathed!
