Yeah, some time ago they started building houses around here will all cast iron piping. After working in the plumbing industry for ~10 years, I knew if I heard someone had cast iron that the job would immediately equate to a full re-pipe at some point.

The house was sold "as-is" and I knew from the inspection there was cast iron there. I was just hoping that would be a 3-5 year later project, not a before-the-first-mortgage-payment project like the pool.
