I had to cut through a cast iron pipe recently, masked everything, made a
polythene tent, wore a mask, cut it with a cutting disk. Ugh, the fine
black dust got everywhere, including up my nose and in my mouth, the taste
was awful, as it was a toilet pipe I'm sure I could taste the sh1t, not
that I had ever tasted it before. Worse of all the iron in my mouth
reacted with my filling, it was like chewing silver paper.
By far my most unpleasant job what's yours?
I think if I had to do it again I'd buy a reciprocating saw, whatever the
expense.

Stripping the roof off an old barn is the worst lately. The pan tiles were
fine but underneath was a thick layer of straw bound together with
lime-based
mortar. Impossible to stop it flying about. Wonderful drying effect on skin,
especially in the creases.
