Thank you all- Rob would buy it when he found it to be reasonable at auctions and estate sales. A lot of times, the CI would be awful looking, but he would bring it home and do an electrolysis on it in the back yard and then re season them for me. One fireplace caldron was so rusted and corroded he bought it for a dollar, no kidding; brought it home, did the electrolysis and found the mark showing it from mid 1800's. He had done a lot of the CI for me that way, making them lovely again. I should find some one who loves the stuff to leave it to, no family left now except Rob's sisters and they don't want it.
I am happy with the new fancy water meters the city installed- which is good because we all got them, want them or not! I try very hard to be frugal with the water after so many years of drought. The meter lets you monitor your usage even daily.
