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.


If you wish to get rid of it, then an easier method ( unless you're selling
it on for
reclamation ) is to take a club hammer or sledge hammer and whack hard with
that. Wear ear defenders and goggles, and make sure the floor won't be
damaged. Cast iron is brittle and will fracture after a few thwacks, then
you can
carry it out in lumps.
