    Hi I am removing a large amount of concrete floor I realise the conventional technique is to break it out using a sledge hammer or jack hammer.

    What do you think about this as a alternative....

    Wet cutting the floor into 3ft squares then drill and anchor bolt said square and jack out each individual square using a engine hoist and wheeling them bitches out

    Just an idea just trying to make life easier.

    hire a mini digger with a jack hammer on it - if it won't fit through the door/opening use the digger to make it bigger

    How about setting up an anger management course and get the government to pay you to let disaffected yoof to smash it up for you.

    that might work if it was only the size of a paving slab and if they were allowed to throw it through a window afterwards - much bigger than that and they'd be getting sofa withdrawal anxiety
