Cast iron tub

[First-light]

Will a scrap metal guy take a tub like this? Just pulled it out from downstairs bath. Weighs a ton!

[Gencountyzeek]

They will, ive brought some in from houses ive worked on. With a dolly not too hard to get in the back of a truck. Some people just give them a good smack with a sledge hammer and load the pieces.

Pretty cool maker's mark on that one. Not sure I've ever come across that kind of detail before!  Made in 1951; 281 gallons; and five feet long. Deep tub for sure.

Scrap guys might take it whole, but they probably won't give you anything for it. Every cast iron tub I've removed was busted up into pieces before heading to the scrap yard. Usually because that was the only way to get them out of the house in the first place. I've knocked knickknacks off of the shelves of neighboring houses while breaking up CI tubs.

They make a great pig cooker!!! build a cover, set it up on blocks and build a fire under it.

Buddy  cooks on in an old cast iron tub every year. You can fit a REALLY big pig on one that size...lol. He welded up a metal plate cover with a lip that hangs over the edge and two handles on each end to lift the cover off and tend the pig. It is really just a big enamel coated pot.

Best thing for the early muded foors with like a inch of concrete and then tile is a circular saw with a masonry blade. Definitely hang a tarp over the door to keep out the dust from getting out. Wall mudded too? This pic is of the worst i have demoed.

Oh the tub is pink. You can't cook a pig in a pink tub. lol

My buddy actually uses an old clawfoot but I gotta believe any cast iron tub would work.

Man-O man...that's the same stuff I had to demo out of our old '50's bathroom in August. Nasty metal lathe, but the bathroom was built like a bunker. Concrete walls....ugh...that was tough. Same stupid pink bathtub. Same tile. same layout. Mirror image of our Bathroom. Will have nightmares tonight...lol

They also make a great religious shrine to the Virgin Mary when stood upright in the yard. I never really got that, but you see it a lot in certain neighborhoods around me. Mary in the bathtub?

The floor comes up easy, set ur depth on the saw and cut a grid into the floor, whack with a small sledge to lift it a little, then use a small crowbar to lift the pieces out. The walls in that bathroom was the worst. Couldnt use my saw on it because the owners had people refinishing the kitchens cabniets. Had to use mini sledge to bust all the tile and mud. Then go back over with the saw to cut the metal out. Then got to tear out the ceiling, gotta love the time when drywall just came out. 1/4 drywall with a quarter inch of mortar over that...almost not worth the 12hrs for $500.
