Hey guys, I know there are a lot of smart do-it-yourself people on here, and I was hoping one of you could give me some advice.
My apartment's very old and there is a 3.25" pipe coming down through the ceiling that I need to remove - I'm guessing it's from an old lighting fixture. One side is threaded, so I hoped the side holding it in would be too. I've been cranking it with a pipe wrench for a while now and it hasn't budged.
There are two joists on either side with very little room to maneuver, so sawing it off would be very difficult.
Any advice?
