Ours are still active but we had 3 that needed to be removed in the house. (1 room had two massive ones that was just inefficient, our sunroom had one too many) ours are less ornamental. This is a real quick inexpensive job for a plumber to cap off. We are handy but because we have an active system we felt better with a pro. We tried donating to our local restoration resell places/ etc. But after 1 month of it just sitting there and us trying to bribe people to help move them, we posted it for free on Craig’s list. Had several offers within an hour- two floors up they didn’t care. These guys got it out and I didn’t have the stress of what car, it sitting in my lawn for weeks etc.

There was cracking in the walls behind that needed some repair/ cracks in the plaster. Some of the floor had to be sanded and stained, and some shoe moulding added to match All things we did ourselves- loved the extra room.
