Re: Structure vs sewer
What did you expect the plumber to do? Go around the pier? Get real!

Re: Structure vs sewer
At least he did it in a cleanly manner. Unusual for a plumber.

Re: Structure vs sewer
Did anyone consider the plumbing came first, prior to the brick structure?
Maybe they didn't want to pay extra to offset arround the brick structure.

Re: Structure vs sewer
Let see, that house is no modern showpiece and the cast iron pipe dates way back to the dirty old days, so Mr. Plumber knew he'd be retired or gone to the happy hole in the sky long before you crawled in there and took a picture. Smart man, got 'er done.
BTW, kudos to Mr Mason as well. He knew how to mix mortar, eh?
Then HG said "Interesting CI? hmmm.
Ah well, its a resurrected 4-year-old thread, not going to bother, never mind."
Then I said "Well it looked like cast iron to me, and I didn't notice the dates".

Re: Structure vs sewer
Question.....was this a "functioning" pier? I noticed that the wood member above it doesn't seem to be a girder...looks more like a floor joist. As long as it wasn't a girder, AND as long as there was no point load on it, it might be ok. Did you do any further discovery?
