"At some point, we had a snake get into the air warming portion of our woodstove. When we went to start the stove up in the fall, the warmed air smelled terrible and made the whole house smell awful! The job was a pretty big challenge because the whole top of the stove had to be cut off then welded back on after the remains of the snake had been removed. Since the stove weighs quite a bit (a couple of hundred pounds at least) and is difficult to move, the work needed to be done in our basement...someone had to be able to do the welding in my house. It was a major job cutting the top of the cast iron stove off, but Mr. Perez was very patient and spent the time necessary to do the job correctly. Mr. Perez is very well mannered and is someone you can trust having in your house."

While a high-speed circular saw will cut through metal, and even cut through multiple sheets at once, the fast-spinning saw blades create a lot of heat. This heat can damage paint and other protective coatings, leading to serious problems like rust over time. The cost to paint a metal roof again to avoid this damage is typically an additional $0.50 to $1 per square foot.

Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.

Sawing your hot tub into more manageable chunks so it can be lifted easily into a truck takes several hours. Generally, 2.5 hours for smaller hot tubs and around 4 hours for larger ones with the help of one to two people. If money isn't a concern and you want to skip the physical labor, you can hire a pro to get the job done.

It will likely take an experienced pro less than an hour to install a ground rod, which is another reason why letting them handle the job is such a good idea. Safety concerns aside, it would likely take you much longer to install a ground rod if you decided to take this one as a DIY job.

This all depends on the tools you have on hand and whether you’re trying to cut a straight line or shapes. 

The best tool to use for straight lines is either a circular saw or table saw. When cutting shapes, a jigsaw will be the easiest and most precise tool to use.
