Alexandria, VA is finally dealing with their combined system. DC dealt with its old sewers recently and they finally stopped dumping sanitary sewer water into the Anacostia River.It's "storm" and "sewer" rain goes in one and sh1t goes in the other. The only place I have ever heard of them still being combined is in the city of San Francisco.
And a quick update, tried to manually rotate the blades using an Allen wrench and there was zero give. So, that means I'll be shopping for new one this coming Thanksgiving. Something tells me to unrack the garbage disposal and take it apart some more but I just don't feel like it...perhaps it is time to replace.Insinkerator Badger 5 pooped out for some reason. I think it's just old. The disposal hums when powered but then starts smoking. Reached in and couldn't really find anything stuck. Left it unplugged and will give it this weekend to try the manual maneuver. Otherwise, I imagine this is needing replacement.
It's odd because I just don't recall using it a whole lot in the last 3 years since moving in. So, I think it's just age from previous homeowner.
Was searching this thread because I recall there was a discussion about garbage food disposal before. I see some people don't even use one or prefer not to or the building is not to code? On one hand I am inclined to just leave it as is. On the other hand, I don't want to leave loose ends and want to learn how to fix this or new install (looks pretty straightforward per videos online).
The dishwasher seems fine and as far as I can tell, and will continue flowing through the food disposal regardless if the disposal is functioning or not. No leaks right now.
What do y'all recommend I do with this fireplace? I want to add builtins (two shelves high) on either side of it eventually, but I'm thinking that means the ceiling high brick's got to go.

For the railing, I'm thinking of doing something like this:
But but but what about the impending housing crisis and 40% drop in housing prices?
