Hi all

Looking for some recommendations for plumbers who can help replacing old cast iron pipes in the crawl space under the house. I am a new homeowner and I am just terrified of all the plumbers giving ridiculous quotes around here. I don’t want these people who come with an iPad and build a quote using their fancy software.

Sadly, I have already fallen into the trap and used one such plumber for a big project in the house

~$1500 for replacing Flange and repairing wax seal on one toilet.

~$1500 for snaking the sewer line

AND

~$22000 to replace cast iron pipes in the basement, excavating and replacing cast iron pipes outside the house that go to our septic tank, and replacing water main to the house. This unfortunately did not cover the issues in the whole house because the plumber did not “expect” there were more than one toilet in the house and simply kept reassuring me that this job will take care of all the plumbing issues in the house.
I went ahead with this job to make sure I don’t have to deal with plumbing issues in the house anymore which never happened.

Now, we have been trying to work with them on this and they came to properly diagnose everything and found out that there is a crawl space where rest of the cast iron pipes are accessible and have given an additional $17000 quote for this.

Want to see if anyone here has any recommendations for how I should go ahead with this?

Yelp listing here.

Sam Sushi is better, anyway.

Hello! My name is Maximilian Kent, and I am a local filmmaker. This year, I made a short film about Robert Goddard to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his first rocket launch.

After screening at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the film is coming home to the Hopkinton Center for the Arts (HCA)! This local theater helped make the project possible, and we are excited to premiere it here.

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Hi all!
I need to fill the masterbedroom in a 2 bed nearby in marlborough. It's at the avalon marlborough apartment complex if you want to google it.
Rent is $1725 and your room would have a private 2 sink full bathroom and walk in closet. We have central AC and heating and the apartment complex has a heated pool, firepits, grills, dog parks etc.
I'm 25F but open to any age and gender. The other room opens up october 12! so looking to fill it fast.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

I'm 18 and I moved to Framingham from New York. Does anyone know if there's anywhere in Framingham where I can find fun, like booths or something?

My gf and I eventually plan to have kids and it would be nice for our kids to be bilingual in Spanish and English. Wanted to hear other people’s thoughts on Framingham’s dual immersion program.

How hard / competitive is to get in? Is it worth it, do kids typically stay fluent into adulthood?

Hi all, my family just moved into a house that was recently remodeled, including all the bathrooms. However the bathtub in one of the bathrooms is still an old cast-iron bathtub, which has some rust on it. I wanted to understand what are the best options to take care of the situation. I know a couple options are to either do a liner on the bathtub or doing a whole demolishing of the bathtub and redoing the whole thing. Can somebody recommend an affordable contractor who does this sort of thing if people have used.

Hi! I saw few post on this topic but they were a few years old.
