The sewer pipe from the 2nd floor bathroom had cracked somewhere between the basement and the floor of the guest bathroom, rendering the guest bath and the 2nd-floor washer-dryer useless. Jeff had to cut open the wall to expose the pipe so the plumber could replace it. Here's a close-up of the disgusting 4 foot crack in the cast iron pipe.
This is what the bathroom currently looks like with the replacement PVC pipe in place. When we have the plaster in to finish the kitchen wall, we'll have him fix this too. This picture does show off Jeff's tile work on the shower surround, and our friend David is peeking out of his picture on the lower-left.
Just when you think you have a project completed, this house always throws a curve at us.

I just had a 'shiver' run down my spine when I saw the pic of the pipe. You know, like when they say someone walks across your grave (or something like that). It brought back bad memories.
Too bad you didn't discover the probelm before it hit.
