Oh, wait, only architects can get permits? Then we need one. Sorry, reading too fast.
If we are going to have a Sex & City type tv show based on people who live in brownstones and have problems with their kitchen sink vent pipes and get laid off, then we definitely need a character who works for a mysterious hedge fund, owns eight houses, and has even more boyfriends, at least one of whom is a Mexican boyfriend who is married (but whose wife approves).
“BRG to be promoted to head writer in new version of “Sex in the City” to be set in Brooklyn’s famed Park Slope.”
Good idea!
Are the supply lines lead, iron or copper. If copper then they are relatively new already. The leaks are largely due to valves like he says otherwise a leak in a line would be constant and you’d see/hear major water damage. Stacks made out of cast iron usually last forever. But yes, a stack replacement will cost a lot more. But a three storey house with 2 families or less can be PVC now.”
Stack is cast iron, some of the supply lines are copper and relatively new, rest are brass, and at least one waste line (coming from the leaking toilet on the back porch) is lead. I am pretty sure he recommended replacing everything because of its age. It’s a blanket statement. It’s a three-story, two-family house plus cellar. All the pipes are exposed (except in the floor) and we are not changing anything so we do need licensed workers and permits but we do not need an architect. But I appreciate the recommendation and will keep his name just in case.
Dave, others, do you think we need to replace all of this or just a few things?

“Biff Champion reveals secret longing to join cloistered Trappist monks observing vows of silence.”
No, I’ve only taken a vow of celibacy. Actually, I didn’t exactly take a vow and it wasn’t exactly intentional…just worked out that way.
^^^^ wait, that sounds like it’s coming from the Head writer of ‘Sex and the City”
