There was an oakum smell...
56-year-old oakum smells good. Is that strange? Mildly remniscent of the smell of Robertson's Real Beef Jerky -- the stuff they sell at the Love's truckstops! My very favorite!

Anyway, I spent a good 1.5 hours pulling lead and oakum from a 4-inch hub in my main DWV stack. I figure I removed a good 4/5 of the stuff before the toilet arm even budged.
No pictures today. I'm cameraless.
What's worse? No camera...or drilling/picking/pulling lead and oakum from an old, stinky hub?
My vote is with "no camera".
