    Peculiar hole in old lead drain pipe

    also a good epoxy would be a temporary repair. I use the 2 part they sell it at home depot. wear gloves and mix according to directions then push into hole and around hole.

    Washing machine drain pipe overflows

    geofd is correct.. you can remove cleanout plug and install male adapter with a 4x2 street y and a end clean out. cap old 2 inch and repipe new trap. I believe that would solve the problem.

    pls review this plan and what T to use for vents?

    the only thing I can say is make sure vents off sinks go straight up til they are 6" or more above the flood rim of sink. as far as cleanouts I would put on stub outs for both sinks then trap off sink. also for vents use a sanitary tee. one is usually good around here...

    Replacing 15/16 kitchen faucet aerator with swivel aerator.

    you need to remove the existing aerator. you are correct that is a internal/external thread to match different faucets. once you take that off you should be able to attach the spray head you want. they usually come with different adapters for different style faucets.

    Washing machine drain pipe overflows

    when waste is coming down 3 inch it is probably clogging the inlet from washing machine. that's not the right fitting for application. it should be a wye fitting

    Burn pipe to fit

    that's horrible..it looks like pvc . just cut below burn and glue pvc coupling with new fitting and use slip coupling or fernco above.

    sorry took so long to reply been a crazy week. its ok if piece inside breaks youll get a new one with new cartridge. it has to come out. its just stuck in there. try needle nose pliers with force. also remove cover plate there may be a retaining nut holding it in as well.

    Tub water won't fully turn off on unique/old system.

    i would try it on the least used tub first in case you have any issues. its all threaded connections so worst case you could replace with modern chrome threaded fittings and valves. look on home depot or lowes or plumbers supply house
