Hi there. First Tim poster. So I'm updating my bathroom. And now I've run into a problem with the toilet. There's about a two to three foot section of lead pipe extending up from the cast iron pipe. There's no toilet flange. They just beat the snot out of the lead pipe to m make it splat out, creating their own flange, and then screwed the toilet to the sub floor with deck screws. I was told that I could probably chisel out the molten lead so that I could remove the lead pipe extension, but I don't have a lot of room underneath the sub floor and between the floor joists. I'm looking at cutting the lead pipe now, but I'm not sure how far down the extension I need to cut. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
