I have this old cement laundry sink I removed and replaced. The problem is getting the old one out of the basement for disposal. It must weight--and I'm curious of the actual weight-- about 250 lbs?
So I'm thinking I can smash it apart, and schlep it up the steps in pieces. But then I'm imagining it must be reinforced by metal mesh of some kind and it won't break apart into pieces without cutting the embedded metal as well?
So if this is true, then what is the best way to cut this apart? Thanks in advance?
Soapstone is fairly soft. If you can scratch the surface easily it is most likely soapstone. I sold one in the 70's but it was so heavy I only got $5 for it.
I had the same sink. I used a large sledgehammer to bust it up.
You must wear eye protection and I'd highly recommend a sweatshirt.
The slivers fly and are extremely sharp.
It was still heavy even breaking it up.
I'm trying to remove the screw holding the side lever handle of a Grohe Ladylux Cafe kitchen faucet (in order to replace the cartridge) and I can't find the right size allen wrench (I'm assuming it's an allen screw). The screw also has a hex head exterior but it's inset and there isn't enough clearance around it to use a socket. If you also can tell me the replacement part number for the screw only I'd really appreciate it as I may have stripped it. It's the screw near the number 2 in the image. Many thanks.

Hi folks,
I am trying to install a shower slide bar (for a shower hand piece)
My problem is that the slider bar needs to be mounted to the wall with two screw anchors.
I'm concerned that there is a copper pipe going from the temperature controller to the shower head.
I've been burned before with trying to mount anchors into walls. The ones I needed to go into must have been bearing walls... solid concrete.
I suspect that there is drywall behind the marble in this bathroom but I'm worried that I might end up punching a hole through the show head pipe.
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys,
Doug
