Jeff, I could be done by a handy person. Like hj, I like to remove the lead and use the cast iron hub below. I have used a rubber fernco that works as a replacement for the lead seal. It allows the use of plastic pipe and flange. I taper the end of the pipe, and using soap, slide the pipe in. Terry : Seems like I have a lot of "makeshift" plumbing in this house I bought a year ago! Does "makeshift" mean it won't work or not last? I have two drain lines I can think off the top of my head that are PVC to cast iron. I'm a electrician and maybe I should stick to wires but I like to do things myself. Attempting this situation, am I being realistic? Or should I call a plumber? Anyone?
