oh my...

we removed a section of the 1-1/2" diameter galvanized drain pipe that runs from the bathroom sink because we are replacing the trap for the new pedestal sink.

this is a picture of the cross section of that pipe...with 60 years worth of build up. there is barely 1/2" left of passage.








DIS-GUS-TING!

so, if you have old galvanized drain pipes in your house...you might consider having them replaced. well, at least, if your drains are slow, you'll know why.
