Any salvage value to old lead pipe?
Have some ceilings down in the house at the moment and could easily
remove, if it's worth it, some 25 to 30ft of old lead cold water pipe. It's in three sections (other bits chopped out), about 6ft rising next to the newer pipe, a run of 12 or 16ft under the upstairs floor, and a drop of 6ft or so next to the sink in the kitchen. Didn't bother checking, but it looks like about an inch external diameter and maybe as little as half an inch internal. Anyway, is there any point recovering it, and who might like to take it off my hands if I do? There's no reason I couldn't just leave it there; there's plenty of room for all the other underfloor stuff, but if it is worth anything, it might be worth 30 minutes of my time ripping it out. Diolch! Hwyl! M. -- Martin Angove: http://www.tridwr.demon.co.uk/ Two free issues: http://www.livtech.co.uk/ Living With Technology .... The future is like the present, only longer. |
