Fixing Someone Else's Mistakes, Again (Part Two)

So with the fabric conduit removed, the 80 year old hot and return pipes cut out of the way, and the 120 year old large diameter vent pipe pulled up and out of the wall, I was then able to measure, cut, connect and install the five inch conduit to carry heat up to the two front rooms.

Now instead of heat carried via 6 inch contuit in the basement, and then flexible fabric tube to the floor near the heat registers, it runs along the same conduit in the basement, steps down to 5 inch rigid conduit up the wall, across the floor, and up to a 5 inch tee that has been specially cut to fit in place in between the two registers serving the front rooms. The photographs below show how this was installed.
