were STRONG. These are a good 10' off the floor. Saw these today and had to share. Most of these are still working fine.

    And they had to work at it. Most jobs in the old days progress was at a slower pace, they didn't have the tools we have. Noew, progress is slowed by overregulation.

    They didn't have sawzalls, battery tools, sissors lifts, chain falls

    they used hand saws & cutters, cold chisel hammer and star drills. block & tackle and rope, scaffolding built from wood

    I have about 4 or 5 sections of those in my 1928 era house with hot water heat. Garage is under the house and a 14ft ceiling.
    Lots of hard work installing that stuff.

    I’m quite sure they had a few extra hands also. Today with the cost of labor the tools to cut down on number of men, and labor pay for themselves in no time.

    Imagine what pipe and vent size they would have needed if that was a 1 pipe.
